A nice breath of spring on this gloomy, cold day... So anxious for warm weather, want to dig in the dirt !!

Gmom...what a beautiful Brown Thrasher....don't get to see these beauties much anymore...... ~Kathy~

Having grown up on a dairy farm I always enjoy seeing old barns. This is a stone barn in the Burro Mts. of New Mexico. If you look closely there is a little boy peeking out the window. That's my middle child, Aaron. A few of you met him and Bigbaby last Summer. Ron

They had to be fed a clear liquid to build nutrients, that I got from an animal rehabber. It's basically the liquid that is in iv's for humans. As they got a little older they were fed this solution mixed with powdered milk.....gradually increasing the milk. Then it was on to Pablum, then peanuts, walnuts, almonds, broccoli, carrots, brussels sprouts. They'd chortle when they saw me, and I was definitely their mother-figure. Poor ex....he picked one up, and Seymour bit him! So he was glad to let me continue being the caretaker. We got a bigger cage for them, and I put a branch inside, so they could learn to run along it and balance. When their tails get real bushy, it's time for them to be set free. I had them about 3-4 months. My cat didn't bother them at all, she sniffed them and let them be. These guys, would probably eat them!
