Filling Our "Empty Nest"

Ken said it was too quiet in our "empty nest" so he found something to add a little noise.


Ken took an entertainment center from DI, and with a little work - these two found themselves living in a pretty "fancy" condo complete with some cool twisty perches pruned from our filbert tree. :-) 

They did get loose one day - that was exciting! Getting one down from our upper sunroom windows was quite an experience!


Which led to a visit from our very own bird experts (John & Kimberly) to clip their wings until they can be tamed. John took care of the clipping to which he earned the reward of some very pecked up fingers! They weren't too happy with him and were out for blood!

Ken is determined to tame them and spends quite a bit of time out talking to his birds. It makes me smile! :-)


They seem to be settling down nicely, though, and now will even join us for a visit. 


Now, they just need names! Ken calls them Bird and Birdie which the family has declared will not do. Any suggestions? :-)

Lots of love to you all!

:). You need to name them after a famous duo: Bonnie & Clyde, Lucy & Ethel, Ben & Jerry, Sonny & Cher, Romeo & Juliet, Laurel & Hardy, Bert & Ernie, Holmes & Watson, Abbott & Costello, Kirk & Spock, Hansel & Gretel, Lewis & Clark, Lady & Tramp, Jack & Jill…or…Smith & Wesson.

Just seeing Ken with the birds is worth getting them. I have great memories of ours.
