DIAMOND DIARIES #3
WELL AFTER GETTING THE TWO COCKTAILS, I STARTED WORKING ON TEACHING THEM TO
TALK. MY FIRST THING I WOULD DO WOULD WHISTLE THE TUNE THAT WOULD SOUND SEXY
AND THEN SAY " PRETTY BIRD". THIS WOULD MAKE LITTLE MAN SO EXCITED AND HE THEN
WOULD GO OVER TO PEARL AND CHAT WITH HER AND PREEN HER. IT WAS TOO SWEET TO
WATCH THEM.
I HAD AT THIS TIME A FEW BUDGIES AND A FEW REGULAR FINCHES. I DID THE SAME
SOUND WITH THEM ON ENTERING THE ROOM AND THEY ALL REACTED THE SAME.
I WENT OUT AND BOUGHT A TAPE WITH BIRDS ALL OVER THE WORLD ON IT AND WHEN I WAS
NOT WITH THEM, I WOULD PLAY THE SOUND OF THE BIRDS FOR THEM. YOU COULD HEAR THEM
IN THE ROOM.. THEY WOULD GO CRAZY. I FOUND IT ALWAYS SO FUNNY. AT TIMES IT
SOUNDED LIKE A JUNGLE IN HERE WITH THE BIRDS TALKING TO EACH OTHER BUT TO ME IT
WAS ALWAYS HEAVEN.
IT WASN'T MUCH LATER THAT I THOUGH OF GETTING ANOTHER COCTAIL TO ADD TO THE
FAMILY. IT WAS IN THE NEWSPAPER TO SELL AND I WENT OVER TO CHECK IT OUT.
ANOTHER BIRD THAT WAS NOT TREATED RIGHT AND I REALLY STARTED TO BECOME ANGRY.
THIS ONE WAS A ALBINO. THAT IS ALL WHITE AND PINK EYES. THIS IS ANOTHER FANCY
BIRD AND COST ALOT BUT IT WAS WILD. FOR GOOD REASON. WE BOUGHT THE BIRD AND
TOOK HIM HOME .
HE PROVED TO BE AN EXCEPTIONALLY INTELLIGENT BIRD AND IN A MATTER OF DAYS
RESPONDED TO THE WHISPLING I WAS DOING AND THE PRETTY BIRD. HE BEGAN TO SAY IT
HIMSELF AND APON HIM SAYING, HE WOULD MAKE THE OTHERS EXCITED AND THEY WOULD ALL
TALK.
WE GOT HIM A MATE AND IT WAS A REGULAR GREY COCKTAIL. BY THIS TIME WE HAD A FEW
BIRDS THAT WE HAD SET UP IN THE BASEMENT A ROOM FOR THEM. WE PURCHASED ALL THE
RIGHT BOXES AND NEST AND FOOD AND EDUCATION ON WHAT TO DO.
IT WAS A SIMPLE COMMAND FROM ME TO DO / THE SAYING OF PRETTY BIRD THAT WOULD
MAKE THE BIRDS GO INTO THE BREEDING MODE. AT THE MOMENT I FORGET THE ALBINO'S
NAME...SAD SORRY.
ANY BABIES FROM THE BUDGIES AND COCKTAILS WERE VERY TAME FOR I HANDLED THEM AS
SOON AS I WAS ABLE.
I WOULD CUT THE FLIGHT FEATHERS OFF IF I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THEY DIDNT' FLY
HIGH BUT ONLY IF THE PERSON THAT WANTED THE BIRD , WANTED IT DONE. IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT YOU KNOW THE FLIGHT FEATHERS GROW BACK.
WE BOUGHT MANY FINCHES OF DIFFRENT KINDS AND BUDGIES AND COCKTAILS TO MAKE SURE
THAT ONE SET WOULD NEVER BE OVER BREED.
IT SHOULD ONLY BREED TWICE A YEAR. MORE THAN THAT IS ABUSING YOUR BIRD. PEOPLE
DO THAT FOR MONEY.. SADLY.
MY BIRDS , DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY WERE BEING BRED, WERE ALSO MY PETS THAT I
LOVED AND ALWAYS WILL FROM MY HEART.
