Birdy Christmas

12-25-2007, 08:07 AM

Well, I know I'm Jewish and all, but I decided to get the birdies into the holiday spirit today. So I woke up and made a big batch of Beak-Apetite and added a bunch of fresh veggies and cinnimon sticks. They all got a few nut-treats. Jewel got a little extra. Twitch the tiel got some millet, papi got a few extra nutri-berries with his.

Even the rest of the gang got some stuff. Luke the rabbit and all the rats got fresh carrots and some popcorn. Bella got a new squeaky toy and a fresh pig's ear. Shai got a cat nip toy (she gets once a year lol).

And you guys know what, I think everyone is happy ause you know what I hear? Nothing! complete silene with the occasional happy chirp. You know in this house that everyone likes what they are eating when you dont hear anything!!

How are your fids spending the holiday?

I think the best birdie gift I can give them is lot's of extra holiday love, lap time and play today. Of course that will be accompanied with their own special turkey roast stuffed with cranberry dressing and sweet potatoes. I would take them out to dinner with us, but don't think the waiter will be able to handle my macaws! LOL

I spent the morning at the shelter giving everyone extra treats and lovings,one macaw repaid me by bitting my finger,but I just laughed and told them all how much they are loved. I got up at 5 am just to go spend a few hours with them.They are all so very special to me.

As we had all of my husband's family over (16) and I have been cooking and cleaning for 2 days, Ruby isn't very happy with me. She didn't get her usual attention. She did get little food tidbits of everything I cooked. She also had to stay in her cage most of the day and she isn't used to that. I will make up for it tomorrow though.

Yesterday, I went to the FWCAS Rescue and distributed BIRDIEBREAD to all the fids there. I felt like Ms. Claus! (Pictures later)

Like Josh, today I had toys for everybirdy and furrbaby here this am. The biggest hit was the old pinata that the tiels had that I gave to Fiona. The tiels got a new one. Fiona has been tearing the old one to shreds all day and has it completely gutted now. Of course, she got a new toy of "Chinese handcuffs" to shred and they haven't been touched yet.....

Must have been Red.

I had ordered 30 toys from Nalani Toys and all I could hear was laughing (Piaui of course) and bells.

They got a special "birdie" salad for breakfast with extra goodies that they like - almonds, cranberries, grapes, oranges, broccoli, carrots.

They were all extra good yesterday.

Hope everyone had a great Holiday!
