INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Phage]

Pretty. So are you bringing back some swan eggs to hatch?

You KNOW I would if I could . There have been swans there forever so there must have nests. But they are pretty mean. They were hissing at and chasing off a dog that was playing catch in the water, and that is without even having babies around.

Bummer, going to give the new incubator a try, or use your normal incubator?

normalcy is overrated

It couldn't be helped. They are so friendly! They have been around long enough that I trust their health, so...
Flock Plenty

now they will never leave, and they let you hold them, correct? i wonder if they used to be house pets
thanks

Afternoon Ginger. Can I still slap you for calling me Fred even though I have a name for you?

In the UK checking up on my mum.
We went for a walk along the river near where I grew up. It is so pretty. Thought I would share some pictures.

Does your nickname is derived from the word "Bacteriophage"?
And I am just curious, did you served in the Marine Corps?

It is actually from "Mirophage/Miraphage". My brothers were trying to be mean as kids, and the name stuck for life. I used it for BYC thinking I would only long on the once!
Can't believe someone spotted that!
But no, not a Marine Corps type!
