Basil and Ellie have gone home to Vermont. They are now part of a big conure family of Monica and Kurt and John and joining Haley (our own Sun) and Sydney (YS Green Cheek) and their three wonderful Goldens. We were thinking about keeping back Ellie (Sun conure baby) for breeding and then Basil (Blue Crown) came along. As Basil was learning to live with his disability Ellie became his friend and we could not see them getting separated, nor could Monica and Kurt - so they now have both of them. Thanks Kurt and John for coming down and picking them up yesterday. I kind of miss Ellie - Basil was more of a Mommy's baby, where Ellie was more of a velcro to every one. You walk anywhere near his cage - boom - he is on you - sticking like a velcro. Ellie also loved to fly to the kitchen and get on floor in the corner under the cabinet. Some times we wonder how he managed not get stepped on for we would have absolutely no idea he is on the floor playing. Basil only lately started to fly into the kitchen and land right on the stove all the time and start picking on the wax (which Jodie makes tarts with!). So we had to make sure to close their cage when we had the stove on. Oh Boy - we do miss them - but we are so happy that they are at a wonderful home where love is abundant.

We also have a small news for all. We have new baby from Ray and Rita. The baby needed some assistance in hatching and Jodie provided that and then found that the parents were not feeding the little one, so she is hand-feeding the teeny tiny one right now. We are keeping our fingers crossed and hoping that the baby is able to pull through this difficult times.
