The Brown Quail and the younger Californian Quail are doing very well and during the day, they are now in an outside aviary. Brown Quail is more skittish than the Californian but both are very cute. Don't know what the future will be for them though - I worry about releasing them cos of cats and the Weka who attack the quail. For the moment, they seem quite content and seem quite good friends so time will tell.
The little Chaffinch is also in an outside aviary now and is a delightful little bird. Any newcomers to the aviary, she greets and welcomes and ends up cuddling into them. She is currently sharing aviary with a fledgling blackbird that is almost ready to be released and then hopefully, I can put a young Thrush in with her. At the moment the baby Thrush has a sore leg (caught by a cat) and I am keeping her quiet.
Happy new year, Gilly! (can I still say that 3 weeks in?)
ReplyDeleteLove that shot of the two birdies sitting together. Very sweet.
Happy New Year to you and yours also Cindy. Hope you have a good year :)
ReplyDeleteThey all look so happy at Gilly's homestay! If they could talk human-talk I'm sure they would all be saying a big Thank You to you.
ReplyDeleteTrouble is they never want to leave home Ron :) :) What a splendid boat you have!
