o/t birds' nests
We have recently moved to a different house and now that we're on the edge
of open fields we have lots of wild birds visiting the garden. My four year old, Rory, has always been interested in birds and loves putting out food for them and telling me what the different species are. About 2 weeks ago we watched a pair of blackbirds making a nest in the bushes between our house and our neighbour's. A few days after that we saw that the female had taken up residence on the nest. Every morning now the first question is "Do you think the baby birds will be here yet?" and we have to go out to check. We had a real panic yesterday morning when the nest had three eggs in it, but no mother. Apparently blackbirds often abandon nests so I was quite worried, but she came back and is still there this morning. Fingers crossed for some little chicks soon! Morag |

We'd better watch out, then, or Morag's little one will be asking for a
parrot! .. In message , IMS writes Your little one sounds adorable; and what a great thing for the two of you to be involved with. Here's hoping the mom stays with the nets...your son will be fascinated with those babies once they are hatches!

Funnily enough, the playgroup he goes to are talking about pirates, the
seaside and treasure at the moment and on Monday he came home with a parrot! It was a shape cut out of green card, he'd stuck on feathers and an eye and a stick on the back to carry it with. It's stuck to the wall of his room beside the rest of his pirate things. Morag "Hanne Gottliebsen" wrote in message news:f1ck5t$sfv$1@qmul...

How is your new bird getting along at your house Irene?
I have a couple of finch seed bags I hang out and refill often. They are really fun to watch. One is near a wall fountain and right out the sewing room window.

I just did a Cub Scout Family camp with 600 people, all pirate stuff! -
the youngest scouts made the parrots. We also did bandana-type things and eye patches, and of course did lots of games and skills, all pirate themed. In a few weeks, we do an older version for the Scouts - on Brownsea Island even!

They become quite used to our comings and going and by the time the babies fledge, they've decided that we are completely inconsequential. It is fun watching the little babies grow from the "worm with a big head" stage to fully feathered and flying bird.

So glad this is all working out, Irene. Your parrot tales really get me
smiling. .. In message , IMS writes Taria, she is doing so very well, thanks for asking! She has calmed down considerably, and we can now get her to lie on her back, and do some other tricks. She is such a hoot; she talks more, too - there is a lovely "Hello!" whenever we come in the door, and I usually get a "Hello, Gorgeous!" in the morning, which of course I eat right up.....she tells the other birds, and the dog, to 'shut up!' whenever they get loud - it's a hoot. She still prefers women (me in particular) to men, but she is much more relaxed now with all of us. We feel very fortunate to have found her when we did. We don't ever 'own' our pets, do we...we pay for the priviledge of caring for them g -Irene -- Best Regards pat on the hill |
