2 weeks till my Rocky is home. Ship date is April 19th! But wow is this going to be the longest two weeks of my life! The cage is ready and i am going tomorrow to pick up food from the bird store. The bird store is the original breeder i went to her warehouse is only open Wednesday and Saturdays. I cant make it on a wed because of my husbands work schedule and she just emailed me to let me know the warehouse will be closed on the 14th! lol go figure! im hoping its not a freshness issue but she is the only one in my area that carries golden feast!
Anyways off of that ramble...what am i going to do to pass the time! It is like torture lol! We even made him a really neat pvc playstand. I do need to pick up vet tape this weekend for it, i went to get some last week and the store was out.
I felt this way during my last two weeks of pregnancy too so i know i'll get through it...but geez! im busting at the seems to meet my Rocky!!!

My Safe Bird Store also sells Golden Feast, which Merlin really likes. You can even buy it by the pound, which I'm doing now so it doesn't go bad. No one here sells it locally so I was glad to see she had it.

Try to keep busy to keep your mind occupied. It's so hard though, but now is a good time to do spring cleaning, lol!

Is that by Harrisons? Maybe I'm thinking of something else but there was a sale on one of those foods, I'd def check it out. That website is the best and Kathie takes care of her customers.

I know how you feel about the wait. I did some painting before Jasper got to come home but it will be here before you know it.

No, I don't think Harrison's makes it. I think the company might actually be called Golden Feast. 3 months ago I looked it up before Merlin came to see what it was. They make different flavors. I know she likes the Carribean so that is what I have bought this time as well. It doesn't have any preservatives though so keep it in the fridge or even freeze some of it.

lol i was thinking of touching up my paint! Just anything to keep me busy!
But i had NO idea it wasnt a sit in the pantry type bird food so THANK YOU! ive never heard of it before but thats is what the breeder weaned him onto, central american blend. I need to feed it cooked. If the package doesnt say anything it would have have gone bad. Fridge and freezer it is! i ordered 3 pounds because i have no idea how heavy or how long it lasts either... i guess im gonna determine a serving by how much he eats withing an hour or so?

Happy i finally had a reason to order there. paying shipping always deters me from online buys... But im always so jealous when i see posts raving about her packages lol

Yes, if you bought 3lbs and it won't be packaged in the original container it won't say to put it in the fridge. She repackages it and from there I put it into zip lock bags. I put half in my fridge and half in my freezer. I need to also get an idea of how long it will last. Merlin is the only one who really likes it so I don't have all 3 eating it.
