for February 2007 Where oh where is the time going. February all ready and I hear everyone in the country is as cold as we are! We are just fortunate we do not have the snow everyone else has! Most of our hahns babies have left and what a huge empty spot that has left in our Babies Room. We do have two that are still waiting to leave. One is going to Goose Bay to a good friend of our's and we all know that is not gonna happen this time of year! So we get to enjoy him until April and what an enjoyment that is, I might add! Our sennies and red bellies are growing up as fast as usual. Before we know it the fuzzy white bellies are gone and they are full of feathers. They got to enjoy their first new home yesterday out of the brooder and are travelling little campers now! Red bellys, well you can't get the food into them fast enough. Senegals, well that's another story. They always go thru a skittish stage at around 5-6 weeks. Jo swears she actually hears them hiss. Then presto, overnight, just like that,they are the cuddliest bestest most loveable babies! Reall really even at this "hissy" stage, once you pick them up and cuddie them,they are just snuggle bums. As you can can see above Focker's Mom has been in action again and Focker's here to tell you all about it. Baby Meyers is doing just marvelous.

RASCAL'S PICS
LIZA COSMO
COSMO CHA CHEE Kramer getting a scratch by his MaMa. This is a baby with lots of attitude. Note how he mellows right in at cuddle time! I have been told no one even so much as dares "look" into the kitchen or Kramer's there in a heartbeat begging for food! I hear he is even telling "secrets" now! Whispers into MaMa's ear.
This would be our Baby Meyers.
And this would be a red belly after bath time.
Trying to sneak around the corner
What's you lookin at?
What do you think, Focker's Mom sends Davey a new Focker Special Tent. All made out of demum with lots of big bright buttons put on with cotton rope strings. Took this boy all of two second to jump on and go around trying to get every button off!! What a clown this boy is. Caiques are not normally noted to be birds with large vocabularies. Well this guy is not going to be that typical caique. Every day his vocabulary gets larger and larger. Today his new line was repeating after Arbie "Arbie is a Stinker Boy"! No two worders for this boy!
Our adorable little baby meyers girl who has been named Joni by her new Mom. What a sweetie
The babies are in a cage by day, but in the brooder by night. They LOVE being in the brooder, curled up at night, rather than on the floor of the cage. I normally do this until they are perching good to sleep at night. I hate seeing them sleeping on the floor!! It’s too funny as soon as they get into the brooder at night, they start flapping and running and just prancing around!! They are so excited!! It’s when they start pawing at the bedding with their feet, just like a pup covering his “job”! The old shavings just come flying out their front door if I am sitting there with it open. What a mess!! This is them after getting put to bed tonight! You can be almost rest assured the oldest is a boy, weighing in this afternoon at 176 grams! Update February 6, 2007. We were so right! When you have (or should I say - TIny Rascals has) three baby senegals weighing in at 142-149 and one at 166 grams today, totally empty before breakfast, you can be rest assured there are three girls and a boy. DNA results have have confirmed this!
Our Baby Boy Sennie, Hercules. Yep, that's goona be his name!
This would be Dale, JoJo, Higgens and Liza's Dad trying to have a bowl of ice cream. You can tell by the troops marching up his lap, that they figure they should have dibbs on that ice cream too!! The baby meyers is going to join this household. Poor Dale dosen't won't stand a chance with that bowl of ice cream!
