Running errands this week in Anchorage I stopped by Petco to get Saebo a new collar and some dog food which he seems to consume at a ridiculous rate.
I really enjoy cruising Petco, I always look at the birds and dream of my own someday.
I had a thought while staring at the Canaries, I actually sent out vibes to Craig hoping he might miraculously get me some birds for Christmas. Super duper freaky Craig texts me later that day that there was an advertisement on Craigslist for some birds free to loving home!
I called the nice lady, Michelle Appel and drove to her house in East Anchorage-of course all the birds were gorgeous and luckily Michelle trusted me to be a good Mum to all her babies, some of which she raised by hand.
I was so excited to get home but I ended up driving in a complete snow blizzard the entire drive, I don't think I went over 40mph ( I saw a couple of bad car wrecks, poor people I can sympathize).
After the hella drive, I get home and Craig gets quick to work cleaning the cage so our new little angels were all good to go!
A little finch was so excited by such an adventurous day that they left us a little present in the box!
We have 1o birds in total, 7 zebra finches, 1 yellow canary, 1 spice finch and 1 rainbow finch-
I'm completely in love with them already, its like having abit of Australia in our Alaskan home!
Craig and I went to our friends house for dinner later that night and I couldn't stop worrying about the birds, I don't know what could possibly happen to them in 2 hours but I was just a nervous new parent! I couldn't sleep that night, I actually had to get up and look up some finch facts as I couldn't remember what food is toxic to them. (Its Avocado I was thinking about).
What a bird dork I truly am.
