Presenting the birdies.

Since I'm not tired (not sure why), I'd thougth I'd present you to the birdies of the birdhouse, with the pictures taken directly from NZP website!


First, this is Romeo the red billed blue magpie. He used to be in the outdoor flight cage. he steals mittens from the baby strollers, eats sparrows, escapes from the cage, and harasses the hammerkops.... He was punished last week, got placed in the basement. Now he's inside, as so not to bother the other outdoor flightcage birdies.



Marabou storks... they're silly.always sunbathing, always displaying (though they might both be males...)... I'm sad tho: ppl always simply point out that they aren't very cute... they call them downright ugly :(











Hammy! You should all know arthur and molly by now (i dont know if i should tell them I've named them....) They are really adorable, with their huge nest. Sara thinks they might even be INCUBATING!!! BABY HAMMIES!!!!







pygmy falcon. The CUTEST little birdie ever. once again a little couple but they've been having problems making fertile eggs that survive through incubation... sad. I would have loved to see some tiny teeny baby falcon...
they really are pygmy.





Tinamou: SO FUNNY. she was handreared and loves humans... shes always at the edge of her cage. they even had to put a plastic sheet so she would stop sticking her beak through the wires!










again burrowing owl, cute as a button. we now have a female. they will be introduced tuesday... they like to follow you, they spin their head all the way around to see you, and they bob up and down if you hide from them!
