I know. I`ve made a joke. These different time zones are horrible....It’s still Monday in Texas too. Only 7pm on Monday so far

That's what I was thinking. It's been such a crazy Monday...I started feeling like it was Tuesday. Or maybe I was just hoping for it.Happy Tuesday, Yvonne
Well...then I have an ugly backyard. It's full of all this grass and bees, bugs and critters...and silly little toads that like coca cola cans.Concrete painted green makes a lovely backyard .....
Oh my gosh ! How can you live with such an ugly backyard !Well...then I have an ugly backyard. It's full of all this grass and bees, bugs and critters...and silly little toads that like coca cola cans.

Oops. That WAS supposed to read as ...not so little! [emoji85] Must have been more tired than I thought.That guy is not so quiet.
Please please send all your rain to us. Our dams are only apparently 50 % full. Although we have been having way more rain than last year. So I don't understand why they are not fuller. Unless they are deliberately lying to us about the dams in order to scare us into using less water or something. [emoji15] mmmm PARANOID MUCH???We just had over 3 inches of rain in under an hour. Roads, tunnels, creeks all flooded!

Oh Wow. That is so awesome. I can just see you having the time of your life. [emoji3]It was full on today. We were overrun with hedgehogs being admitted and my supervisor and I had to work round their cages to get to the birds.
My favourite teeny baby wrens are doing well. They’re still less than an inch long, but pretty much fully feathered. We have to feed them every 15 minutes!
Shh! But I snuck some photos in the big aviaries today where the older birds are.
In the corvid aviary. This lot are full of character! Jackdaws, magpies and jays.... and a very needy baby Carrion Crow that follows me everywhere.

And in the song bird aviary - Blackbirds, Song Thrushes and Starlings at the moment.
The starlings squawk loudly, but the thrushes just gently trill at you; it’s lovely.

And a more adult blackbird in the aviary has been helping feed the youngsters. Their feeding instincts are very strong; they have been observed feeding goldfish in ponds as the orange mouth looks like a baby bird’s gape.

I suspect that, because it has been raining, people aren’t being as careful with their water use and so the dams are unable to fill properly
Don't forget the TLC as well.Some of the torts are a little dehydrated, perhaps from my grandparents not keeping things as humid as I usually do in their enclosures but they did an amazing job nonetheless. Urates have the occasional small gritty specs which I had to have a good feel of them to find (disgusting I know)
I prescribe extra soaks, some watery romaine lettuce and a bit of water melon to rehydrate them.
