We are home. It is crappy! Funeral service barely got done and it was snowing hard. Perfect roads on the way over, not the way back. I barely got time to talk to my friend, gave her a homemade cake and pretty much out the door. Stopped quick in Appleton and talked to the birthday girl and her family and we left...with a plate of goodies

JaeG - crummy weather here, really need some of your baby bird photos to make me smile.

I'll try and get the kids off the computer!

Guess I don't know cats very well (in fact I am positive) I didn't know they chew up stuff like a dog would. I thought they just knock things off from high places.

Of my 3 cats, only 1 is a chewer. Pip, the little darling (not) loves gnawing on anything. Paper and cardboard are her favorites but in a pinch, she'll go after cords. She chewed right through my phone charger cord.

You have my condolences DMC, that is such a mess to clean up!

Unfortunately I found one of the finch chicks dead last week. Not sure what happened there but this little beauty fledged yesterday. It's very calm about being handled - it probably helps that I have Luvy and Valentines hanging from my hair and leaping all over me.

And I'm very happy to have two boys in the unusual colours in my Button quail.

This little guy is younger than the first one and just starting to get a bit of grey coming through on his chest.
Don't they look impressed at having their photos taken!?

I should have more Buttons starting to hatch in a day or so but, seeing as how the group of young ones that are in with my Coturnix are so much calmer I'm wishing I'd popped a few more Coturnix in there sooner. I must clean them out, then I can get some photos of Colossus and Co.

I think the babies are a bit embarased about their "cheesecake type poses."

@JaeG adorable as always! They all look so totally relaxed being held. That little Finch is so cute. Sorry about the one you lost.
