Awww! Mystic is so so cute! I love young zons, such a sweet and innocent look in their eyes:21: (that they shall never have again come puberty:52: lol). You must have your hands full with the 2 baby zons AND the rest of your flock
Oh yeah it's a three-ring circus around here at feeding time. Mystic and Mojo are still on two feedings so I make up the food (before my coffee I might add, spoiled rotten stinkers!) Then I go get them, they of course each have their own syringe so I have it filled and ready. Mojo eats first while Mystic waits all sage and wise, I tried it the other way with Mystic first but then I have to chase down Mojo who doesn't own a shred of patience and will go off flying.
After the first syringe they both take off and no matter how well I cleaned their little beaks they love to drip out a little formula which I then find most of it later to clean up after it has dried to rock consistency and in the weirdest places.
Mystic flies through the kitchen out through the dining room and always lands on the t-stand in the living room. Mojo flies a circle around the kitchen landing on top of the frig, they both do exactly the same routine twice a day. So I fill up the syringe again and go hunt them down to get in the last little bit but by this time they have a little food in them so they may or may not both sit there, sometimes it's off flying again and me mad rushing before the food cools down too much. They have on occasion forced me to make a whole new batch because they played too much and it cooled off, which of course I do, good slave that I am.
The other day while doing this hubby is sitting at the dining room table, doing nothing to help and says "I really want you to get another baby so I can see you juggle with three!" Oh yeah he is a real comedian. Funnies cousin he is...not funny!!!
Mean while the eclectus KNOW I am up and start shouting for their breakfast. So it's a mad rush after the babies are fed to get chop made up, for the zons who like theirs cut in a little bigger chunks mom thank you very much and the eclectus who prefer theirs finely chopped please.
THEN.....I get my coffee! I wouldn't have it any other way I adore them all!
