New arrivals just flew in



Saturday Nathan and Chris went over to Oma's to roof rake the barn and pick up crickets for the various cold-blooded creatures that reside in Amelia's room. He flew in with a little something extra. In fact, TWO little something extras! Presenting the newest additions to the Pillsury menagerie...Edwinna and Rocky (who was originally Optimus). Rocky is the blue one and Edwinna is the yellow-looking one (she is actually green with yellow wings). This picture was taken on the light below the celing fan in the living room. They are both very sweet as long as you don't try to pick them up to put them back in their cages. Luckily they don't have super-sharp beaks, or Rocky would have put a serious hurting on me this afternoon. Rocky seems to be much easier to train, as he is already stepping up onto your finger most of the time. Edwinna (whose wings are NOT clipped) prefers to fly frantically about and pretend that she doesn't know what the heck it is that you want. Don't let her fool you...she knows, she just doesn't care.
