That’s so funny because mine are addicted to the water so far!

Oh wow that’s so interesting!

Oh wow, thank you! So probably not a magpie then!

This is the three, she’s the yellow one of course. It’s certainly possible she may have been from another breed. I am just trying to figure out what she’ll turn into!
