[Pyxis]

I expanded my run today. A lot of work, but the birds were very happy! I snapped some pictures of the Calls enjoying the new expanded run.

Here's a shot of the whole group, aside from the lone little pastel I took in. They aren't mean to her, but she doesn't hang out with them yet.

Here's my blue bibbed girl.

Come see the ducks you helped me name. Daisy on the left Daphne on the right.
Daphne is becoming my favorite. She is super curious and hangs out with me whenever I'm out there. She's always studying everything I do. . sometimes too much I have to be careful not to step on her
