We have a new member of the family. An escaped or evicted parakeet flew into the cab of our neighbor's truck--and he brought the parakeet to us to see if we'd give it a home. That makes 4 (yes, 4) parakeets now. Oscar is one unhappy dog! But the parakeets are safe & seem to be getting along just fine.
The new one is the green one with yellow head and our neighbor's son named him "Hurley." We believe he is a boy (notice the blue cere above his beak), so will have to quit calling our 'flock', 'the girls'.We celebrated Sept - Dec family birthdays at our house this past weekend. We enjoyed everyone's com
pany; it is always nice to get the whole family together. I have to admit, though, that the great nieces & nephew were a special treat! Hunter was such a good baby and Ruthie & Riley were a lot of fun. Oscar was worn out after playing with Riley all afternoon--he napped all evening, slept all night, and then slept most of Sunday too! I suspect he could not maintain that pace too long.

We were too busy enjoying everyone to take pictures, but here are ones of Hunter & Ruthie that Ivan took.
