Many of you know I have been working with some budgies I rescued from a hell-hole of poop and inbreeding. We lost two of the chicks and three adults most likely to aspergilosis, and all the remaining adults have new homes except one (I kept two! Stay tuned for pics of Trooper and Molle!). One had a home lined up that knew she wasn't tame, but upon coming and seeing her decided not to take her - because she isn't tame
As for the babies I have been playing ring-around-the-rosie with a family who keeps having "car trouble" and other issues for days and days, and finally tonight when asked directly backed out, leaving me with two babies I reserved and didnt send home with another family, because these people insisted they wanted them. Don't get me wrong, I am glad they didn't go home with these people, I am just frustrated. When someone comes to me asking about baby birds and INSISTING they want to love them forever... well, yeah. frustrating.
On another note, Cache, one of my GCCs, has become my little star She is apparently much more comfortable with children than adults - I have had no fewer than 5 children ask mommy or daddy if they could keep her this week. Sorry kids, this sweetheart is all mine!
