When I hear that a vet is pleased with my work, it just gives me the affirmation that I am doing good raising the wee ones. It really is like raising a baby, and there is always worries--worries that the baby would catch a cold, worry that they are not eating enough or the proper foods, etc. Each clutch brings the same worries!!! Buddy has been home for about a week and a half. We got a wonderful letter from Buddy's people: Hey, Nicole! Well, Buddy's vet visit went swimmingly!! The vet was really impressed at how healthy he looks, and he behaved like a pro! He weighs 64 grams today... nice! She liked the clip that you did and recommended that we keep him that way, even though we want him to fly in the house. He can go about 20 feet and get some pretty good height at this level, without the fear of getting into too much trouble with fans and doors and such. That works for us, since he can fly to us (and does regularly!) easily when we're nearby. It's amazing to me how quickly he's changing. He's getting around in his big cage without any problem now, and apparently he's a music lover! There seems to be something about Emmylou Harris that'll start him chattering and bouncing his head... so cute! He has energy spurts during the day that remind me of when my kids were toddlers! He's so bright, though, that it's pretty easy to find ways to play with him and help him use up some of his energy. I decided to try to switch him over to the Roudybush Crumbles, and he's really taken to it. I think he'll always enjoy the variety. We get fresh produce from a local farm during the Summer, and he's REALLY loving that! In any case, he hasn't missed a beat in his eating. Well done! I hope all is going well with the house hunting and all your new babies. There certainly is never a dull moment in your life!
