Just soaking in the moment

Went to
"Bird World Pet Village" today after work. Had to get
some more pellets and pick up a few new toys. I
really am having a hard time finding a really good
bird store here in Utah that has wonderful bird toys
and are not expensive. (not asking a lot, am I?)
There are only two stores out here that carry the
brand of pellets I purchase, and neither one of them
is close by. Anyway, the point of me telling you this
story about me going to the pet store, is because
they had in 3 new baby birds. Oh OH and can you guess
what they were? ok I will tell you, they were
beautiful Rose Breasted
Cockatoos. They were only
about 4 months old and one of them was so
friendly, it was practically trying to squeeze
through the bars to get to me. I just stood there
and told him/her how pretty s/he was and scratched
its head. I was just oohing & ahhing over this
little guy. Of course I could never afford to
purchase one, they wanted $1399.00 which was on
sale from $1799.00 But they are so beautiful. Plus
just a real sweet heart, my heart just melted,
s/he was much more lovable than my Jasmine is, but
I realize that would change once it hits sexual
maturity. oh well dare to dream, just soaking in
the moment.
They also had a baby Indian Ringneck, a blue one, but it was much bigger than Indie, not just in size but also it's beak was larger. I have to think that maybe this wasn't an Indian Ringneck, but I haven't ever seen an African Ringneck in a blue color. But what do I know.
Got some of that "pluck no more" for Jasmine. It is a herbal remedy that has been proven to help stressful birds not stress so much and stop plucking. I just got it yesterday, added some into her water. Anyhow, its only been a day so there isn't much to report on how its working yet, I will post updates on her progress as time goes by. I actually purchased what is called "Stress Control" by King Bio, it is the same product as "pluck no more" just at a better price.
If anyone out there knows of a good place in Utah that sells wonderful bird toys let me know, I just can't seem to find a place that I really like. I realize there are all kinds of places on line, but then I usually have to pay shipping, plus I can't actually touch and see the toys in person.
Found out today that there is going to be two auctions held at my work. The first one I knew about, that one is taking place in August, but the 2nd one is in October, which means I have more time to get more quilts finished if I want to contribute to both of them. I told the lady at work that I would contribute to both, so I guess I have my work cut out for me.
Until next time, take care, and have fun.
