Flight One, etc.

Posted in Jen & Ellen | 2 Comments »

There is a chick in flight one. There are also two eggs. The eggs should hatch this weekend.
The crickets got in the flight late: I should have had them in on Monday. They appear to be agitating the birds now. Still, they need to stay in the flight.
The chick looks bad. There is a blood stain and bruise on the head. I think it will disappear.

The feed doors on flights six and eight are welded and can not be moved to flights five and seven. The door frames could be moved but not easily. In fact, the holes drilled to bolt the frames to the flights are unique to the frames and would therefore require drilling new holes, and more. So, I will be putting birds in flights six and eight, instead of five and seven as I had hoped to do.

I haven’t found a chaperone for Saturday. If that’s a problem for you, then Ellen and I won’t be getting together. If it is not a problem, or if I do find a chaperone, then Ellen can, if she wants, bring the DVD for Stargate Continuum.

Jen, you want to chaperone? We could all three do a little gar fishing tonight! And watch a movie. And play cards. And have a bite to eat. And…

Ellen’s Biology report is on the kitchen table.

Please leave the brooder in the house. I will straighten it up and move it to the bird room Monday.

The two pair did get into their new flights. There are some problems with the aisle doors. I’ll have to get to those later.
