Subject: Update - Good news!
Hello:
I got a 35cc syringe yesterday from my vet's office and got 70cc into Frankie (Ol’ Blue Eyes). This morning he calmed down - only wanted a small "nibble" and then was on to better things like his playtop. Just got done feeding him his night feeding and he took about 55cc. He's been busy - ate lots of pellets today and munched out on his seed, nutriberries, nuts, etc., this afternoon. Also drinking water. I put crocks on the floor of his cage, and at perch level so he is always surrounded by food. Plus there are 2 bowls on his playtop. Last night he fell asleep on my hubby's lap while we were watching tv. Just a complete doll!!
Holly has been better today too - I had her out a little more than normal plus I've been working with her to "whisper". Lo and behold this evening she did!! If I whisper to her she will whisper to me. She is just a love and I can do anything with her. She now "allows" hubby to pick her up if she has flown to the floor but only then... LOL.

Bird Sayings...
~ A bird in time saves nine.
~ A bird is worth a thousand words.
~ Don't look a gift bird in the mouth.
~ Fifty-four forty or bird.
~ Happy Birdday!
~ It ain't over 'til the fat bird sings.
Here's a crazy little tale which includes a number of sayings referring to birds. How many can you spot?
They said to me, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket," as I tried to watch the birdie while looking at a bird in the hand, but wishing for the two in the bush.
I knew that with a good throw I could kill two birds with one stone, but I didn't worry because, as birds of a feather flock together and as most don't fly by night, they would be there tomorrow.
I realised that there may be a few lucky ducks that have flown the coup and got away so, my advice always this:
Don't count your chickens before they have hatched. You often may have to be satisfied with a bunch of lame ducks, oh, and don't mention that the birds have flown, but then again, the early bird catches the worm. Always keep your pecker up I say. Get up with the birds, but don't go out naked as a jaybird or people will just think you're as silly as a goose, or a bit of a bird brain, and this may hang around your neck like an albatross for a very long time. It could even be our swan song.

Decorah Eagle's Nest Monitor
Hi bird lovers!
I recently discovered this live webcast of the Decorah Eagle's nest monitor. I could sit & watch this for hours! It's fascinating...she’s on 3 eggs and gets up & rotates them periodically. The camera has close-up ability and zooms in & out. Check it out...it's "must see bird TV!"
Check out the live video at the link below...
