Vote on this!

Hi bird fanciers,
The title of this post is just keeping with the theme of my last post. hah! We have been so busy with life.... that I have neglected my posts - shame on me.

Well, Jeremy and I recently had an updated photo taken of us with some of our birdies. We have added this picture to our brochure and also refreshed the picture of us on the main website and I thought I would share it with our bloggers too.

Here's who we have (the birdies) in the photo... from left to right: Our very own Beaker (SI Eclectus), Zeus and Moe (Congo African Greys) and Cupcake (Greenwing Macaw).

Now, ending with the voting theme... who gives this picture a 'thumbs up?'

Yours truly,
The gorgeous gal in the photo... Elena

Exercise your right and VOTE!

Last night we all sat down to review the ballot and discuss each initiative to understand the real meaning and implications of each, paying particular attention to arguments for and against. Well, I needed some help so one of our babies, Cupcake helped me figure things out. Here are a couple of snapshots, enjoy.

And remember to VOTE next Tuesday November 2nd.

Happy Hatchday Lola!

One of the things we love to do is remember our babies with a hatchday card celebrating their first year. And we are especially blessed when the baby's parents send us pictures commemorating baby's big day. Here is a picture of 'Lola' Albright, Solomon Island Eclectus. As you may know, Jeremy and I have a sweet spot for ekkies and Lola won our hearts the moment she arrived to our nursery, gosh... one year ago last month.

I took a nap and woke up over 1 month later!!!

Hi all,
Holy cow, where has the time gone? Seriously, one of our dear customers and friend, Patty, emailed today to let me know that I have not posted in over one month... ouch! [thanks Patty].

I could make all kinds of excuses but I won't. With all the festivities around the wedding and many, many birdies moving on to their permanent homes, I just let things slide.

So what's new.... well, we have three birdies with us - one Congo African Grey (operating name Moe), a Senegal named Kiwi who will be transitioning to her family on 10/18 and then we have a newer arrival, Cupcake, Greenwing Macaw. Here is a cute video clip of Cupcake taken recently. Cupcake's family lives in beautiful Bellingham, WA. Enjoy the video clip!

Wedding Bells!

On a personal note.... We had the most beautiful wedding here at our place last Saturday - it's hard to believe that one week as passed already! Our son, Lachlan, married Susy Behne and we are SO thrilled to welcome Suzy to the Galbraith family. The wedding was intimate, and the weather held.... outdoor wedding. Here are a couple of pictures...

The lucky in-laws,

Elena and Jeremy

It's feeding time again!

In this post you will see a very cute video of one of our customers, Eugenia, feeding her baby Mexican Red-headed Amazon, Chelo, some hand-weaning pellets. Enjoy!
