I love this pic of Levi a whole lot more than the previous! (with mask) Glad to see he's on the mend. Hope you get some sleep Dani, so important on every level!

Best news I've read in a long time.

Now we just have to get Momma well!

What a week you’ve had! I hope it’s all smooth sailing for a while. Rest as much as you can and feel better. Wish I could help.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! My husband came home early (about 8pm) and gave me the wonderful gift of going to bed early after a hot cup of tea.

In yet another non-bird related post I wanted to share a couple of pictures with you! After 3+ years of living with my family the adoption of my newest siblings was finalized today!

My parents have five biological children alive and two in heaven.

Allie and Carter officially joined the family in 2013 but had been with us in foster care for quite a while.

In 2015 these kids came to us “for two weeks at the most” but that’s not how things turned out! It’s been a long road but I’m happy to introduce Isaiah, Christopher, Colton, Shawnteah, and Marcus

The group picture is my parents, their adopted kids, three of their bio kids, and my brother’s wife. I wasn’t able to be there with my husband and son, and one of my brothers wasn’t able to make it either. Plans are in the works for an entire family photo hopefully in June!

Ps the reason this is the first time I’m mentioning them specifically and sharing pictures is because there are laws about names and images of children in foster care; but they aren’t in foster care anymore!

These are the most beautiful pictures I’ve seen in ages. Thank you for sharing them with us!

Oh wow, your family is *huge*

It’s why I am the way I am lol.

In all seriousness, a lot of my hard held philosophies on how birds should and should not be raised are based on what I’ve learned growing up with abused and neglected kids. People are in prison for what they did to these kids, and we do a lot of the same things to birds without ever realizing what we are doing.

You guys my snails had babies [emoji23]

Apparently either Wendell or Wayland is a girl. My money is on Wayland.

My ringnecks are nesting but no eggs yet, the tiels are enjoying their break. Syl, the new tiel, is adjusting to life around a toddler, and everyone who was sick is healthy now

Also I counted. The current number of species (not including humans or things we want to kill like ants) is
Dog
Cats
6 kinds of birds
25 kinds of tank dwellers
33 non human creature species lol.

Well this member of your internet flock LOVES it.

Snail babies! So amazing! And a tiny bird egg too. So now that you’ve counted up the number of species, how about the total number of each?

So cute! Are they English budgies or standard? I've been hankering after an English Budgie after I first learned about them on the forum!
