I'm looking forward to puppy pictures too! So excited for you!

We are renovating the quail's cage that they share with a few bantam hens as we've had rats eating them through the wire. So there's a solid bottom going on the cage and with all our dry weather which doesn't look like it's going to let up any time soon they'll be fine. The rats ate our favourite boy who was a beautiful tuxedo with lots of white on him. I'm tempted to keep my girls in the raised cages as I've never had a problem in those. Ruddy rats!!! :mad: The big problem is they are introduced and nothing eats them, except perhaps the odd backyard cat, but with easier targets I doubt they'd bother.

DH brought home a little fledgling bird that his boss had found in the car park. It doesn't beg for food and it seems to be pooping so I'm thinking it may be just at the age where it's been abandoned. He said it was really windy at his work yesterday too so it's possibly started flying and got blown way off course. He told me it was a song thrush (do you guys have them over there?) but when he got home with it and I opened the box it was far too tiny to be a thrush. I think it's a goldfinch fledgling. It's unhurt and seems healthy so I'm thinking if it keeps pooping with what I'm providing it with I can let it go. At least it's more wild round here than at hubby's work!

And I found one of my society finch chicks dead in the aviary. So I've brought the other inside just in case. It's eating well, encouraged by the Java finches who are just at the super cute want to get in your hand and cuddle stage and yell their heads off for food while they're at it (they are loud). It's cute to hear the society's soft, little "Tee tee tee" begging noise in comparison to the ear piercing Java yelling.

I think that's all my bird drama!

Hope your Friday is still quiet @Teila.
