Goodbye to a seed free floor.
Goodbye to shirts without holes in them.
Goodbye to a quiet place to live.
Goodbye to not requiring a mirror at the front door so a poop check can be performed on my shirt.
Goodbye to leaving the house for more than a day without calling a bird sitter.
Goodbye to avacodo and onion and chocolate (except for my work stash).
Goodbye to grocery shopping without the thought, "I wonder if the birds will like this."
Goodbye to a life without electrical socket covers.
Goodbye to alcohol.... scratch that. I just won't share.
THE BIRDS ARE READY!!! Bunsen & Beaker come home as soon as I get off work. As you can imagine, I'm getting a text every 5 minutes from my wife, "Are you off yet???" We are so excited. I'm curious how this adjustment period will work. I've been told it takes birds about 3 days to start to get used to a new home. Since we've been going to see them once a day for at least the last month, the transition should be a little smoother.... maybe? About the only thing I'm sure of with birds is, expect the unexpected.
I can't believe it's been 15 weeks since they were hatched. The pet shop kept the boys an extra week to make sure they kept on weight. Our first vet visit is scheduled on Wednesday to make sure everything is A-OK. We have the cage CRAMMED with toys. The play area has so much stuff hanging off of it, i'm not sure you can see the Manzanita branches anymore. The travel cage arrives in a couple hours via Fedex. We're starting off with the pellet/seed mix they're using at the pet store. Am I forgetting anything? Do they have a 24 bird shop in case i did forget something?!?
Wish us luck!! I'll post pictures and some panicked new parront posts as well.
