My husband and I actually drove two states away to go to a bird fair in search of a female eclectus. I always wanted one just like her and It was love at first sight. She is the sweetest bird I have ever owned.

Griffin and I were all excited about starting a little family of our own and I got egg-bound with my first egg. The egg was much too large and it couldn't come out (like the size of a chicken egg). Mommy has taken me to the vet everyday this week. The vet had to implode it on Monday in hopes that it would shrink and pass. Still no egg. Yesterday I got two shots of tosin to help me pass it and that didn’t help either. Today the doctor made me go night-night for a little while today and he got some of the egg out. Then he found an adhesion that was holding the egg to my uterine wall. The only way to resolve this is to have a hysterectomy. Since I am so inflammed and weak right now he suggested we continue with the antibiotics and supplements and plan for a hysterectomy on Friday morning. Please keep me and mommy in your prayers so that everything will go well and I will feel better quick.

My surgery went well yesterday and I got to spend the night at with the doc. He got the evil egg out but he didn't do the hysterectomy because I need some time to heal and get stronger. I am sure glad that is all over. Thanks everybirdie for your prayers!

TODAY I WOKE UP AND SQUAKED TO THE MOCKINGBIRDS, AND BLUEJAYS GOOD MONRING
THEN DEREK,LYNN, ANDISABELLA TOOK ME IN MY CAGE TO THE BACK PORCH
THEY SET MY CAGE DOWN AND LET ME OUT THE FIRST THING I DID WAS FLY INTO ISABELLA’S HAIR AND TRY AND MAKE A NEST LIKE I HAD THE ONE AT HOME, BUT MY FEET GOT ALL TANGLED AND DEREK HAD TO HELP ME OUT. HE TRIED TO GET ME TIO GO ON HIS FINGER BUT I JUST JUMPED ON HIS SHOULDER, I STOOD BACK AWAY FROM HIM AND LOOKED AT HIM, THEN I FLEW TO THE SCREEN AND HUNG THERE
LYNN PUT ME BACK IN THE CAGE AND GAVE ME FRESH FOOD AND WATER.
DEREK STARTED CALLING ME BUD, ISABELLA WANTED TO NAME ME BOOBY, CAUSE SHE IS INTO THE ENGLISH NAMES, AND LYNN WANTED TO CALL ME BABY,
THOSE EARLY DAYS WERE ALL JUST A BLURR , I EVENTUALLY GOT USED TO THEM AND BECAME TAME CAUSE EVERYTIME I WAS ON SOMEONE THEY GAVE ME FOOD, SO THEY TRAINED ME TO KNOW THAT HUMAN EQUALS FOOD.
I REALLY ATTACHED MYSELF TO DEREK AND HE BECAME MY PAPA

Day 3 at the sanctuary early evening- Sherie's advice to chaka

Erin left the office , we watched her though the window, while she gave food and water to the outdoor cats .

I asked Sherie what should you do if a cat comes near your area?

Just let out a alarm call like this ,she demonstrated and it will startle the cat and make him/her go away and don"t stop squawking until they go away,

if they Don"t go away within 5 minutes then fly to a safer place.

we listened to the blue jays give off an alarm squawk , I asked Sherie what that meant and she told me that means a hawk has caught a bird,

and the blue jays are trying to scare the hawk away.

After are conversation Sherie and i stopped to eat, i noticed that there were seeds and fresh fruits. d Sherie what fruits are these? (as i picked up a red object)

Chaka,Those are strawberries and the yellow food is banana.

Mum the banana is good, do u like banana? no chaka i don"t Sherie replied

2nd day at sanctuary/afternoon



A strange lady came in to give us food and water and check Sherie and i's bandages.

when her hand was in my cage I tried to lunge at her with my beak open to bite her hand ,but she had placed the food bowls in my cage already and then slammed the cage door shut fast,.


I heard her say to herself," man , that is one mean bird, it must be from all the pain" ,

so she gave me a painkiller to help ease my pain.



then after the lady left ,Sherie and i had a long conversation about how we got to the sanctuary.

she told me that her owner named Jean, noticed that Sherie had injured her foot.

From being chased on the ground ,by a cat that had made a hole in her screens on the patio.

You still get to go outside? THat's great! Mom cleaned and put away our outdoor cages yesterday, says that's it until spring.
The person mom has been training finished her 4th day today and mom recommended her for a volunteer position. Mom doesn't know what day the person will choose, but she's a good worker, so we are hoping Monday or Wednesday, when mom is there. Mr squirrel got moved to a bigger cage today, but is still in the indoor nursery. He seems to be thriving, though.
Not much new to report today, so I hope you are having a great Monday, and we'll chat more tomorrow. Hugs, Falco

It sounds like a combination pet sitter/foster home there! Mom has done that at times, too. Hope you find the best home possible for that ekkie!
It's cool and rainy here today, very autumnal. Mom had a morning in the avian nursery, then after feeding the little squirrel, she went and swam laps. Now she's home with us, but is doing our blogs before anything else. We are getting our nails trimmed today, and possibly getting a wing trim, too. Hope you are having a good day, spending some quality time with your folks. Hugs, Falco

  Hi Ruby
I guess the poop art was a little too avant garde for mom, eh? Mom got a phone call this morning that her sewing machine is ready to pick up, so it's going to be a long day of confinement for us, I fear. She's going to the pool, naturally, when she finishes our blogs, then when she comes home, she will shower, feed the squirrels, then pick up her sister. They will drive for the hour it takes to pick up the machine, then have dinner out, probably. So by the time she gets home, it will be time to feed the babies again. Probably it will be time to feed the dogs, too. Then our cages will get cleaned, and we'll get out of jail for awhile before bed. Hope your day will be better, for sure. Hugs, Falco

Wonder what those jumping larvae were? That was a funny story! Mom loves fostering, and the litter did have white out on their heads for a day or 2, but then it wore off. She will mark them again next time they go to the center. They do a dot on the head, one on an ear or one on a paw in case of multiples in a litter. The little ones are growing more each day.
Mom is going to the museum for a picnic today, isn't that strange? It's their annual staff picnic, though. It will probably be raining by then, because Isaac is finally moving through (according to the meteorologists). Hope you are having a great day today. Hugs, Falco

  Hi Ruby
The pool closes on Monday, boohoo for mom. We are busy taking care of the foster squirrels, though, so it won't be too bad. The gray one is done with his meds, and is on regular formula, and the foxies will be on 3/4 formula today, so it's getting better. They get fed every 3 hours, but not at night. The syringes are losing their numbers, though, so mom is comparing them to the one that still has visible numbers on it to make sure they are getting enough to eat. Not much else is happening. I think mom is posting the squirrel pics on my page. Hugs, Falco

Hope everyone is safe and you didn't lose power. Bet that's scary! Mom has some errands to run today, so I have to be short. She is taking the sewing machine to get serviced, taking some letters asking for ads to some businesses, and stopping at the mall to pick up something. The problem is that all these things are in places that are relatively far apart. Still, it's a nice day for a bit of driving, so it won't be too bad. Hope you are having a great day. Hugs, Falco

Your mom is a real sweetie to take in a new bird. Jesse is very handsome, too. His old mom must have loved him a lot to be able to do what was right for him.
Mom's hand is back to normal, but that nail she broke kind of hurts. They put an acrylic tip on it, but it broke so far down, it just is sore.
It's raining today, at least right now it is, so mom is planning to do laundry today, as well as have the family over for some time together. She thinks they are bringing a new board game to try, but if they don't, we have several here to play. Mom made that zucchini Pizza last night and it's delicious! She also made ratatouille, so will serve them today to the family. They might not like it, but there's always take out in that case. Hope your day is gorgeous and fun. Hugs, Falco

Good to hear from you, hope that dove is doing well in the wild again. It's always so rewarding to release the little wild ones, isn't it? Hope you got lots of goodies from mom's weekend at the fair. Mom was happy to go to the center today because she was assigned the foxes and raccoons. They are her favorite mammals, she says. Our weather was perfect for the pool today, too, so off she went there after the center. That's why I'm late getting on to do my blogging. I know that woman knows we have our own priorities, when will she let us come first? Hope you are having a great day, my friend. Hugs, Falco

Wow, you were on TV? That's really cool. Sorry you can't go with mom when she will be gone all day. Good luck with the dove, hope you can find a placement for him/her.
I sure had a fun hatchday party. Glad you could come and share in the festivities. I hope you liked the pics of Hog Heaven on Gizmo's page. The pig that mom is petting is the one that followed them around all day. They make some money to support the rescue by shearing the alpaca fiber and selling it. That's a neat enterprise, and those alpacas are so cute. Hope you are having a great day, it's beautiful pool weather here once again. Hugs, Falco

  Hi Ruby
If the dove is not native to the US or to your state, it isn't protected by the federal migratory bird laws, and should not be released. Your folks would have to find a sanctuary for it, or... It would be fine for your folks to keep it, with a few things in mind: doves are ground foragers, so keep its seed and grit close to the ground. You see correctly, this animal should eat pigeon/dove food (Kaytee has a blend we use) and grit in a low, flat food dish. They eat seeds whole, so need the grit to break up their food. They also use their beaks like straws, so should have a deep water dish, at least an inch. If you are caging it, make flat places for it to perch, shelves, or flat perches out of maybe inch wide wood. Is it the size of a mourning dove or larger? Or is it small, like diamond doves are? Just curious. Let us know what you are going to do. Hugs, Falco

Thanks for the update on Jade, we are hoping she is feeling better each day. You have a dove? We have 2 as well, Millie and Lily. They are rescues from the wildlife center. They are white and not native to the US, so they couldn't be released.
Mom went to a meeting this morning at the Animal Rescue League for their fall fundraiser. It's going to be a great one, and if she can help by getting some local folks to take out an ad in the program or be a sponsor, that would make it even better. Mom always says we don't know any rich people, though. That's why she's hoping some will take out an ad.
It's been one of 'those' days here. It's hot and sticky, but threatening rain at any moment. Yesterday by this time it was storming, though, so maybe we should be happy it's just a threat. Hope your day is going well and all is good with you. Hugs, Falco

A shot might be a better way to go for now, at least, with all that's been happening. How's Jade doing? Mom's been taking that zucchini bread to the pool every day and giving it to the ladies she sits with. She's happy with one or 2 pieces of it, but she made 2 loaves.
It's been really hot here too. Mom got her nails done today and when she came out of the salon at 10:30 it was already in the 90s. Are you going to be in the milonga Olympics?

Sad news about Merlin, but hopefully meds will give him a few more years to share with us. It sounds like you do the same thing with peas that I do...especially sugar snap peas. Yumm!
What a shame we won't have a triple crown winner this year, but I am glad that I'll Have Another is retiring to a life of good food and pretty lady horses. His owners really care about what is best for him.
I got my sunbath today, and it was really pleasant. Just a tiny bit cooler and a nice breeze blowing. However Mom laid her book down right next to my carrier when she was putting her chair away to come back inside, and I could alllllmost reach it to gnaw on it a bit. Wouldn't you know it, she laid it down just a 1/4" too far away. I let her know very loudly what I thought about that! She made up for it when we came in by playing the envelope under the door game, so I forgave her.

  Hi Ruby
Well, that sounds like one heck of a party. Please give my get well wishes to Merlin though. I hope he feels better soon, or if it is time for him to join our friends at the Bridge may he go easily.

  Hi Ruby
That sounds like a fun party for sure. It is always amusing when the hoomans start acting silly. And they never realize how they look! Amazing.
Well, Mom tried to get me to eat some more broccoli today, but you don't fool this bird twice. I wouldn't even take it from her lips. I could tell it was green.
Nice sun bath this morning, and Thursdays are non-gym days and mommy/Kiddo days. It used to be big housecleaning day, but Mom just picks up and stuff now because Dad is always napping or watching TV when she wants to vacuum. Go Dad!!

Sounds like you and Morgan had a good celebration. How did mom do the Mexican bread? My mom likes to cook for us, too. I ran over to see Jade really quick, too, it looks like she is recovering well.
Have a wonderful day! Hugs, Falco
