It's going to be a mammoth task to catch up having had no internet for so long, and I'm not truly connected yet. But catch up I will, in time. You know what it's like!
But just to say all is well with the birdies and chickens. Had one or two probs as usual with the chickens, Dusty (again!) mostly but pleased to say she seems to have recovered once again, she has always been a sickly bird for some reason, but she keeps the vet in business!! (and my purse empty!). Also have the recurring bumble foot in my older heavier ladies which thankfully my daughter and I cope with.
Pip (budgie) is soldiering on despite having a bit of a lump, she is an elderly lady so as long as she eats, drinks, plays and flies around with Jerry I will let her be. I do think her time is coming, so am trying to get myself prepared! Will be getting another two budgies very soon, as Jerry will be absolutely devastated and lost without Pip when she goes, he follows her everywhere. Two newbies may just distract him.
Anyway, that's a little update from me. I will get on here as and when I can. If I have missed anyones birthdays/holidays and new arrivals I hope they were all good ones!

Two new buds....
Sounds as though Pip is happy, which is good and glad she’s still out and about
Glad on the whole all is ok with your lot

Oh Marianne, your memory must be going!!! I got Benji and Jerry a few months back, do you not remember my two little green boys? I went in the shop for something else completely and saw these two in a separate cage, they were £40 each!!! And the man wouldn't accept £50 for the two. By the time they got put into the main avery, the price had gone down to £25. each and that's when they fell into my pocket I mean bought them. This is them when I was first training them in the bathroom, back in June. Remember now??

Pip does like to share her affections Marianne Marlow, but Jerry is very persistent with his and doesn't like sharing her with Charlie. Unfortunately because Charlie is in his own batchelor cage and doesn't venture out too often, Jerry gets his own way most of the time! Fortunately Benji does sit and chat with Charlie quite often so he's never lonely, and after they all visit him inside his cage, he is very relieved when they all vacate! Here is a little picture of Pip with her swollen ankle and her little exposed (wet - just had a bath belly), Jerry on guard over her of course.
