Baby Love Bird

Bonnie and Clyde have had numerous babies over the past year and this is the first yellow baby - an unusual color mutation. She is really sweet but seems to be treated like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer because she is different. We had to place her in her very own cage tonight because Bonnie, Clyde and her siblings were picking on her. John noticed some blood on the cage and saw that it was coming from the back of her head. Since she is the baby, she may have been trying to get back into the nest box and, with 5 eggs already laid, she is not welcome.  The parents can be very aggressive when they feel it's time for the kids to move out. John clipped her wings so she would not fly all over the house and we played with her for awhile. We plan on keeping her and working with her to make her tame so she will let us hold her. She's already a very sweet little bird. Hopefully she does ok with the injuries.

Hives

Hives are annoying!

Poor Lainie, over Easter weekend she broke out in hives that covered her from head to toe. We took her to an allergist yesterday and he seems to think it may be a food allergy, so we can't give her any milk, berries, fish, nuts, or any food that contain dye until the hives are completely gone.  He put her on steroids, zyrtec, zantac , and benadryl in hopes the hives will go away, so far we haven't had much luck.  Just when they start to fade and we think she is improving she has another out break.

Easter 

We had a very nice Easter. John was home in the morning to share in the egg hunting and basket fun but missed dinner. He did his 3p to midnight shift. My parents came over for dinner. We had ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, corn, and rolls.  Mommit made my favorite green dessert. Yummy! It was a very quiet but lovely day. Timothy spent the day with Kathy's family and made a wonderful dinner for them. He really seems to enjoy cooking!
