Lots of News to share

Lots of news to share from the aviary. We have been a little busy and did not have time to update the news here and before we know there is lots of news to update everyone. So here we go with the latest edition of news from the aviary.

As you can see from the front page of our website, we have 'Rocket' and eventually we are hoping that he and 'Sammy' would pair up and provide us with some baby Blue and Golds. But we are in no hurry with that one, but 'Sammy' is sitting on 3 eggs in her makeshift nest area behind our living room couch lined with comfy pink blankets.

The two Sun Conure babies are growing up quick and they are getting ready to fledge, or so it seems with the furious and determined flapping of the wings. Their feathers are all coming in real nice. We are giving it another week or two before they fledge and start eating a little bit of soft foods. They should be ready to go to their new homes in a month or so.

We have another set of Sun Conure eggs (5 in all) which will start hatching in another week or so. So we are all excited about them while keeping our fingers crossed - hoping for the best. Molly (our Harleuquin) is on 2 eggs now and we really really hope that we get some babies this time. The younger pair of Blue Crown conures also has an egg. Both our Blue Crowns laid a clear clutch last time - so we are hoping that this time we will have some good eggs that will hatch.

I am thinking that this is a lot of news for one update, so we will try to do this on a more regular basis. Take care and thanks.
