Howdy Folks, Yep, a whole lot late again and a whole lot busy here.  One of our fans has been waiting and waiting and asking "What No Journal for October!", so we figured we had best get on the ball here!   15 hahns on the go with lovebirds and linnies makes for one busy household!  These hahns are just a riot.  I mean heck, look at the Little Dude here laying in my hand picking his toe nails!!  We thought we were going to start harness training that day.  Well that was a joke!  Jo had it almost on Little Dude, but stopped due to being sure the other 6 would have been the ones leading him around!!   So she just let them play with it on their own!  Brenda and Michael were up to visit with their Mango, as was Gail.  Gail is already owned by Higgins, one of our Hahns babys from last year and JoJo, a red belly.  She is right in her glory here with the babies romping all over her.  You do not go into our Babies Room right now and expect to get out in a hurry.  These guys are like velcro and takes you forever to get them off you to sneak out the door.        How do you like our bibbs Linda made for us.  They even gots little pockets!  Jo figures not only will these help keep the dinner off us, but get us used to having something around our necks.  I think she  gots plans for those harnesses you see the bigger guys playing with for us as well.   Gail having a "heart to heart" with Little Dude.  And this would be what  it's like when you go into our Babies Room now.  Imagine in another month, when the other eight have all growed up big enough to fly around!      What would be your first clue Gail is in her Glory here!  No fooling around anymore, We bake breads in quantity now!!  All lined up for supper! and No supper!!  It was too funny.  They "thought" they were going to get fed and all lined up!  The feeding station is just not big enough for this crew.  THey all line up here and Jo gets up on a stool to feed them!!  They know the drill only too well, believe me!!  Would you be surprised to hear that with all these babies  our house is not rocking with noise!  These guys just play and play and play.  About the only time you hear them call is if Jo is feeding the wee babies and they want OUT!  Obviously they have to be in their cages when Jo is feeding.   Jo IGNORES them completely if they start calling.  Does not even talk to them.  When she is done feeding and ONLY if they are not calling does she let them back out.  They NEVER scream and call to each other when they are in their cages and Jo is not in the room.  You would not know they are in the house really!!  I'm sure that could be a whole lot different if Jo would go get them when they are calling, as that would teach them, scream and cry and we get out!!    Huge mistake folks!               Please note all photos and content are the property of Tiny Rascals Aviary.  PLEASE ask permission.
