Feedman, your certainly not the only hatch-aholic here! Heck, Aurora is already hatching. Aurora, are you roosting those little chicks in your Christmas tree? Now that would be a cute tree! Feedman, you could stash some of those cute little pocket hand warmers in your tree! If Daisy & Annie would leave my ornaments alone I would consider it. But we all know Christmas trees & turkeys wouldn't mix! I can see it now! Tuck your birds on branches at night. As the sun comes up you'll have little birds popping out of your trees all morning!

But how cute would those darling little quail look snuggled in the tree? LOL!

Daisy & Annie would be fascinated with a decorated tree....I have visions of them pecking ornaments for hours.

Feisty, I'm bummed. Not what I wanted to hear. So sorry.

R2elk, I love the buried water bucket technique! I remember the first time you described it thinking that was the coolest thing!

Wow he's handsome Feedman. How old is he? My girls would swoon.

I really need to decide on if I want a tom. Worried that I only have the two girls. If they were all like JJ I'd take one in a second.

Geez! Its currently 73 degrees here. We are under a tornado watch. Severe thunderstorms, damaging winds & hail expected within the next few hours. Once that initial line passes, the temperature falls and we are expecting ice. What the heck! I hate weather like this.

JR, the flock looks good. Finnie is right, they love an audience!

Finnie, didn't realize you raised Budgies! Ive been considering one. Just sort of beginning to research them. What type do you have?

I know Ralph. If I could only be guaranteed a JJ, I'd get a tom in a second. Then I read about toms going off the rails & I get freaked out.
