In 2003 many things happened, sad and happy news.
The saddest of all was the loss of our dear Spookje, the goffini male cockatoo.
We had to sell our duckies in the pond, because there were birds drowning in it,and many fruit-and insekt eating birds died because of their age.
The biggest we still had was a roller, he is at about 5 years old , when he died last year.
The chinese appelfinches are still here and had two nests last year. The male songtrush onlys sings in the spring mornings.
Jan my hubby has bought more cockatiels for in in the aviary, and I got a male a female and male white dove.
The cockatiels had 3 nests, and in total 8 babies, of which we kept one, he is my son s tame cockatiel ( Faith) now.
Lucky and Jerry the umbrella cockatoos did have an egg and later in 2004 even two, but I dont think it was/they were fertile.
Zappa the new female goffin cocatoo is the new mate of our Chiquo, the male , and they are good friends now I spray her wit aloe vera ,and this seems to help to get het feathers back !
Coco has started plucking again, but is recovering from it, I dont see any difference with him and Harry now, he is really beautiful .
I bought 3 rex guinea pigs from breeders, all of them males, one very beautiful male in black and white called APOLLO, and in red and brown called SAM and one in different colours also a little bit dalmation DALMA
Apolo and Rexa and her daughter Rexie were put together and got 6 babies.
The tessel -sisters got two babies from my 3 coloured male.
At 15.11.2003 four new tessel guinea pig babies were born, pictured below !
