Hello everyone - thought I'd better come and wish you all a Happy Easter. I haven't been on BYC for ages. Birds seem to take over my life. We are having the annual battle with mites and I think we might be winning (finally) if the damn sparrows would just stay away. All my chickens gave up...

We've had rain today. We desperately needed it but now it is ridiculously humid. Yesterday evening we had a bit of a thunderstorm roll through which the calves did not like one bit (poor babies). Thankfully the dopey one didn't do a runner (like she did the other day because the dog ran through...

I hope you two lovebirds had a wonderful day. 💗

:hugs That's an awful lot to deal with. I hope you can get it sorted out soon.

Here's our new heifer we will be picking up next Sunday. She was the one I originally enquired about (she's a quarter Jersey, three quarters Highland) but she'd never been handled so the lady wasn't sure if she would tame down enough to be milked. So she thought another, who had been a pet...

Poor girl. We lost an old bantam recently - she was such a pretty, elegant girl too. Fine in the afternoon then when I went to give them dinner and lock them up she was dead under the roost. I can't believe your flock is 6 already!

Your kitchen is so beautiful, as is Tam's painting. 💗

I haven't been on here in so long I lost you guys and had to search for this thread again!!! :hugs I have now sold all of my older cockatiel babies and I have 2 more young ones going to their new homes in the next week. I do find it stressful dealing with 'people' when selling them but most...

I was in bed by 9pm so you're not alone. :lol:

Me too! :lol:

My new year is made! The lutino pearl I had selected to keep (so she stayed in the nestbox for her parents to raise) I discovered today is actually a cinnamon lutino pearl. The cinnamon gives a very subtle lavender wash and you can see it more in her tail feathers (which is where I spotted...

Blooie, your new home is gorgeous. 💗 I can see why you love it so. Now you can look back and feel like roughing it for awhile was all totally worth it (I know we do - almost 8 months in a caravan with 2 kids and 3 indoor cats was not fun, but we are where we are now because of that sacrifice...

Happy New Year everyone. 🎉

My poor DS is not very well. He's picked up a bit of a stomach bug (not sure from where as we don't go anywhere). At first it was just a sore stomach (I thought it might have been a sugar overload from all our leftovers) but this morning he's been vomiting a bit. :( And madam house cow is...

So great to see you back Blooie! :frow We've missed you. :hugs Hope you had an awesome birthday.

We both forgot our anniversary a few years ago. It wasn't until my Mum wished us a Happy Anniversary that we remembered. Time flies when you're having fun. Hope you had a good day none the less. 💗

Our cats are amazingly good with our birds. One is terribly jealous of the attention they receive and will jump up amongst them and demand to be patted, ignoring the annoying little feathered things. Our most adored cockatiel was trying to chew on another of our cats as I was carrying her this...

That's such an awesome idea. I love our cattle, and Miss Early and her mother love being brushed and fussed over. Early's favourite is chin scratches.

I'm not quite sure what happened to December. Although the kids and I have started doing diamond paintings/mosaics which are strangely addictive, but I find them very relaxing to do. I did have to clean the house up to host Christmas lunch so that was a big job. I had let a lot of inside jobs...

Look at my baby: She honestly looks more like a bull calf than a heifer. She's so fat and solid. We hosted Christmas so we have many leftovers that we are trying to munch our way through. I ate more yesterday than I did on Christmas day. It was so hot yesterday and we are supposed to be...
