It has been so long since I've updated this blog that I almost forgot it existed! Thankfully, with a few gentle reminders I rediscovered this and am ready to get back into my updates. A whole lot has changed since 2011 began and my flock and I have been adapting to all the exciting and chaotic events that have taken over as of late.

My current flock of three have been stable and doing well with all the occuring changes. I decided that I had to let go of my past, as hard as it was, and have proceeded to delete all my posts about my past parrots, who have all gone to wonderful new homes. I miss them dearly and the one comfort I have is knowing they are thriving, loved, and happier with their new families. I guess as much as I am beginning many new chapters in my life, my birds are doing the same. I feel lucky because I get updates on how they are doing from time to time. It's always hard reading about them doing well though, because it makes me wish I could be the one witnessing their first words, their first successful flight landings, becoming more vocal in the spring (yes, I know I am crazy for wanting that), and all of their quirks and personality traits I fell in love with. Lately, with all of these nostalgic feelings, I wondered how I could ever keep it together if/when I breed birds someday and my babies go off to new homes. I know my birds have gone to the best homes possible and even still I worry and can't sleep easy some nights! I suppose this will make it easier for me to be EXTRA picky when it comes to finding new homes for my future babies. That should be interesting!

Our newest addition is a Congo African Grey, who we named "Daphne". She is about 5 months old now and is a wonderful, sassy, and joyful little lady! Living with a Grey has been life-changing and I can't remember life before Daphne. I can sense how intelligent and sensitive she is to everything going on around her. She is very particular about the way I'm "allowed" to rub her head and neck, loves playing with foot toys, flings mangoes with so much force that my ceiling is nicely decorated with dry fruit pieces, and has already learned a few words! I am a very proud mama!

There are many more exciting things brewing in the pot and I am excited to update about everything in the coming weeks! Thank you to everyone who have kept their interest in my flock!
