Domnijoe - The Art Studio and Bird Herder's Residence

What new project do you have on the back burner? I hope it's not related to your desire to add to your flock.

LOL, thankfully, no more birds! The projects I have are selling some of my art on T-shirts, mugs, as posters, etc . It's for Freya Fest, a mini convention made as a fundraiser for cat shelters. Each year, we find a shelter to support. This year it's Whiskered Warriots.

Whenever I have a dream about moving a project is struggling to get going. Time is getting short. I tend to procrastinate or have pet related distractions. Similar?

When I dream of pet Rats or birds escaping their cages, I know I feel like I've lost control of a situation. Maybe, I do feel stagnant with some of my moving dreams :O

SOrry for being quiet, gaiz! The flock is good. The other critters are silly (puddles, the older cat, got stuck in the linen closet for a day!) and... yeeeeah. Busy doing art.

Being creative healthy. Keeps the mind young. Surprised the flock isn't expressing jealously at not being the center of your attention.

LOL - they cope with not being the center of attention. They like to watch each other, but mainly me. As long as I bob around and sing and type, the birds love me.

You are so lucky. Nameliss insists on asking questions requiring thoughtful answers. Out of cage she insists on helping. She does mischief making to get my attention. I have to check because I never know what I will find. Oddly enough I worry more if she is quiet.

I wish I had taken a photo of it, but Quasar and Tailgate were goofing off in the cage, and Tailgate decided to hang off Quasar's tail for about 20 seconds. Just merrily hanging on for dear life while Quasar did his thing.

 

[Vampiric_Conure59]

Another escape from the cage today! Winter (dog) has taught herself to pull the grate out of the cages. She's done this to Yvon's cage. I woke up from a nap to Tailgate having a merry flight around the room while Winter was going bonkers. Ugh. SO I captured Tailgate, placed them back in the cage, and tied the grate into place so the dog can't repeat the incident.

Never a dull moment...

Aren't you glad to have so much fun?

Hours of entertainment and worth the heart attack!

 

[rheashard2]

Any more doggie antics?

 

[Vampiric_Conure59]

Any more doggie antics?

Thank the Gods, no! Well, unless you consider Winter going through the bird room garbage and bird toy-making supplies and strewing both EVERYwhere in the bird room. Thankfully, that's the worst of it, LOL!

 

[Vampiric_Conure59]

Well, I now know Yvons and Vortex do NOT like each other. Vortex kept going for Yvon's toes while he was climbing close to her cage, and Yvons was like 'screw dis shnizzle!'. I had to tone down the escalating argument between the two . Thankfully, Vortex was caged!!

 

[rheashard2]

That's rough in a multi flock household. I had the opposite this morning. I woke up at the crack of dawn hearing.. Nameliss you were good... Nameliss you were good. Good about what? Yes I say it. But I didn't expect her to pat herself on her feathered back, stroking her already inflated ego!

 

[Vampiric_Conure59]

ARRRRRG! Tailgate passed on today during my nap, and Quasar isn't doing so hot. The emergency vet around here doesn't do birds, and my regular vet is closed until Tuesday. AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG!

RIP Tailgate. I miss you, little hun.

What HAPPENED?

 

[Vampiric_Conure59]

What HAPPENED?

Not sure . I said good night to 'the twins', had a nap, woke up, and Tailagte had passed on. Quasar is still hanging on. Just seems to be lonely, so I've been giving them extra loving and treats.

 

[Vampiric_Conure59]

An update on Quasar - he seems to have perked up a lot in the past 2 days. Been feeding him his treats and he's loving his almond. He appears to be lonely and hangs out beside me a lot, but he's bouncing and eating as per his usual. I think he's on the upswing. Gotta talk to my mom about bringing Quasar to the vet. She said she put some cash aside for vet bills (I had an inheritance come in) so I hope Quasar and I can see them this week.

 

[Vampiric_Conure59]

Still waiting for my mom about money to pay the vet. God, I feel awful about making Quasar wait so long, but if I don't have her gatekeep my spending habits, I'd have 30 birds, not 5. The upside is that Quasar is having a blast right now. I just gave him his evening Almond, so he's in heaven **lots of floating hearts appear**. He's back to himself, minus the horrendous biting, LOL!!

Someone on Kijiji is offering YS Green Cheek conure chicks, and because I've got extensive handfeeding experience, he said I could take one of the babies, unweaned. For most people, I would say no, but I used to breed tiels and green cheeks, so this will be old experience. Just means I'd have to disinfect everything, set up the brooder, find handfeeding formula... the whole nine yards. But it means a BABY. **Gets all maternal** I have until Thursday to decide. Some would say it's too soon to get a bird after TG's death, especially when expecting a vet visit. That's why I'm (gonna try) to wait until Thursday.
