Last Friday Kevin arrived, today we rescued Steven Seagull
This is getting daft, we're not a bird sanctuary, but they keep finding us. Kevin/Mary (see posts passim) is doing very well at my house now, no-one has claimed him so I think I have a new pet.
Today we were out in the yard sunning ourselves working very hard when we heard a plaintive little cheeping noise. At the back of the stack of empty 25 gallon oil containers awaiting recycling we found a teeny little chick looking very unhappy. We couldn't see his nest and you can't put them back anyway, so Helen's taken him home and will look after him till he can fend for himself. She's got lots of birds already, so she knows what she's doing there. Rachel named him Steven Seagull (the initial suggestion of Fluffy Pants as a name was quickly binned) and as soon as I can I'll post a picture of him (and Kev), we're getting that functionality soon.
I wonder what will fly in next?

2008/04/08 - Hello and Welcome, oh, and spots
I've emailed you about the bag and freebie but thought I'd let you know here that both Mary the Canary and Steven Seagall are doing very well indeed thanks.
Mary now has a ginormous cage that my lovely man got from a friend of his, it's a Victorian one with 3 sections and lots of space for her/him and he painted gold for me at the weekend so I can actually have a bird in a gilded cage (yes, I am incredibly spoiled and indulged). I'll be getting a friend for her/him/whateveritis very shortly, I don't want her to be a lonely Mary.
Helen reports that Steven is now standing up, but is a little unsteady so falls over backward a lot. He's feeding well though and soon as he fledges properly and isn't just a teensy ball of fluff, she'll put him in a rabbit hutch in the garden during the day so he can acclimatise a bit and see other birds. He's going to be a menace when he's fully mature though, seagulls are bold enough without being used to being hand fed.
