Cindy’s Critter Collection is Growing!

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Pebbles

I have been raising peacocks for about 3 years now. They are so beautiful and I really enjoy them.

My adult peacocks, Fred and Wilma (I’m starting the Flinstone family), had 3 eggs last year and all 3 hatched in my incubator. The children’s names are Pebbles, Bam Bam, and Betty.

Unfortunately, Pebbles was hatched with a birth defect which affected her leg. She had surgery on her leg which worked for a while, but as she grew, her leg became damaged.

1011-85708Hi there, and Happy Friday!

Can you believe it’s already July 9th? I can’t believe how fast the first half of the year flew by. I guess this second half will fly by just as fast!

For this week, I just wanted to share one of my favorite new pieces.

Bucket Bird Babies Update!

Friday, June 25th, 2010

Proud Bucket Bird Baby!Hello, and Happy Friday!

Every morning when I get into the office, I give the Bucket Birds new water, and just check up on them. Between the two nests in the cage, we have plenty of baby birds, and I like to make sure all of the adults have enough food and water to help them take care of the babies.

Earlier in the week, Mary, Kristy and I removed one of the nests from the cage to see the babies close up. One left the nest, and we got to hold him. Super cute!

Yesterday, as I sat at my desk trying to come up with a topic for my Friday blog, I noticed that the birds were going nuts! I walked over to the cage, and there was a baby bird on the back wall! Everyone in the office came up to check it out – what a cutie pie!

As you know from my previous posts, our Bucket Birds had filled their nests with several little white eggs! At our last count, we had 15 eggs.

When we came in on Monday, we discovered that some had hatched over the weekend! We now have close to 9 baby Zebra finches, but we can’t tell for sure if there are any more – they are so tiny!

Fun Facts on the “Bucket Birds”

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

Hi there, and Happy Saturday!mms_picture

I hope you’re having a lovely holiday weekend so far!

If you know me at all, you know it’s pretty much impossible for me to NOT get involved with anything involving animals. I have had my share of pets, worked at a pet store, and even volunteered at a wildlife rehabilitation center. Once the Bucket Birds were brought into the office, I kind of went nuts about them and decided to learn everything I could about them.

Here are some fun facts about our feathered friends!

Breeding “Bucket Birds”!

Friday, May 28th, 2010

Hello, and Happy Friday!

Hopefully you’re getting ready to have a nice, long holiday weekend. Our office is closed today, and we’ll be closed on Monday, too. It’s time to get our rest before we start the holiday shipping and summer show seasons!

When I came into the office on Monday, the first thing I noticed was the crazy mess the Bucket Birds had made. For little birds, you’d be surprised at how far they can fling birdseed! (more…)

Every year its rain—

But a day is always coming

When the birds go north again.”
