Drum roll, please!

Announcing the arrival of five new arrivals to Beaker's nursery... We just love driving to the airport to pick up new babies. The airport is about 50 minutes from our place so we make sure we check flight arrival times and get there with time to spare. We want to make sure that we can get babies home and fed as soon as possible since some of our babies are Floridians (hah!)

Over this past week - we picked up two Caiques (one black-headed and one white-bellied), two Blue-headed Pionus and a baby Meyers Parrot. Here are pictures and hatch dates for each one.... With the speed that these babies will grow, we almost need to date and time-stamp our pictures.

Looking ahead to next week - we go back to the airport to pick up two more babies: a Double-Yellow Amazon and a Hahns Macaw - Yippee!!! Of the total 7 babies, all are sold except for the baby Hahns Macaw.

What's really thrilling for us is the initial visit of customer and baby. - And this weekend we had the pleasure of uniting four new parents with their baby! And next week two more. Here's the list of our new parents!

• Judith - Congo African Grey
• Vu - Black-headed Caique
• Denise - Meyers Parrot
• Kristine - Blue-headed Pionus
• Barbara and Glenn - Double-Yellow Amazon
  
• Jean - White-bellied Caique
• Janet - Blue-headed Pionus
