FaeryBee Flock Photos May 2 2016

Starting off with my favorite little "plus one"! ;)
Kylie
The sun is in my eyes!

Sparky looking handsome

Geez, you're right in my face, Mom!

Why is she taking our pictures anyway?

Skipper said, "Fine, I'll pose if that's what you want"

Poor Scooter thought he'd been left out.

This is my distinguished look


Oh, you're back again?

How's this look, Mom?

Sorry, it's bed time now

If she won't stop we'll just have to ignore her

I'm getting awfully sleepy

Ahem, I do believe we are done now!

This looks like a good place for me to sleep

Not too bad but I could use a pillow

I'll prefer to sleep on my swing

Could you please stop disturbing me?

Goodnight everybudgie. See you next time. :
:sleep1:

Deborah, these photos are not helping my, “I am not ready for another dog” decision at all!:p
They both look so calm and their coats are just beautiful :001_wub:
Your pups are absolutely gorgeous!! :love:

After moving out of my parents into a small apartment with no doggies I am missing having them around big time. This is just making me broody for a puppy! :001_tongue:
They are gorgeous as always!
They are so gorgeous!! Can I have Rory please??
Seeing your “plus two” always gives me a big smile Deborah! :D They’re both gorgeous boys.

Shadow looks like he’s posing for the show ring, and “little” Rory still has a cute little puppy face! :love::love:
The boys and I thank everyone for your kind comments!

I don't take pictures often as I'm usually busy with taking care of the flock of twelve and the "plus two" as well as trying to stay on top of things on the forum. :001_tongue:

And an amazing job you do of it! :thumbsup::clap:
Peachy: Mom keeps talking about "Moving Day" and that we are going for a very long ride in the car! I haven't gone for a car ride for a while - actually since the last time she took me to visit Aunt Connie. I'm excited.

Pedro: What's a car? Is it that thing she brought Poppy and me her in way back in 2011? Man that was 7 years ago and I barely remember it! :driving:

Poppy: I don't remember it at all! I was scared :eek: and I had my eyes shut.

Sparky: I remember the car. Mom brought me on a 7+ hour ride from the place I was hatched.

Skipper: Yeah, we did the same thing when I came here 4 years ago. She put my cage in the front seat and we sang together on the way to my new home here.

Scooter: Huh! Well, Aunt Connie picked me up and brought me here but the drive was the same amount of time as you guys cause I was hatched at the same place as you!

Solomon: When Mom came to get Seffra, Samara, Soterion and me, we were about the same distance away but she picked us up in Toledo!

Springer: Slider, how far away did we live when she came to get us?

Slider: Our ride wasn't that far - only about 3.5 hours We were up north of Philadelphia

Seffra: How long are we going to be in this car thing on Moving Day?

Samara: I heard Mom say its going to take us two days and we're stopping someplace called a "motel" overnight. That sounds scary to me.

Soterion: Yeah, but she's going to have us in "travel cages" and bring us into the "motel" overenight so we'll be safe. I don't think she'd let anything happen to us.

Peachy: I guess I've been on more trips than any of you guys. I'm what's called a "seasoned traveler"!

Poppy: What seasoning did they use on you? If it was basil, can I have a bite?

All the birdies laughing…

Pedro: I guess all those cages up on the shelf are the "travel cages" we are going to be riding in?

Skipper: Yep! I heard that Seffra, Samara and Solomon are going to be in one cage, you and Poppy will be in a second cage, the third cage is for Scooter, Sparky, Soterion, Slider, Springer and me and then Peachy will be in the fourth cage.

Peachy: 'Cause I'm special

Scooter: Are all those cages going to fit in the car?

Peachy: Mom already did a check of the sizes. She carried them all outside and put them in the very back of the Prius. That's the kind of car she has. They'll fit just fine.

Samara: But what about our big cages? I like my house!

Peachy: All of our big mansions are going to be moved by a thing called a "Moving Truck". They won't be down there as soon as we are but they'll come within about 6 days after we arrive.
We'll have to sleep in the smaller cages until they arrive but…. I have more news!

Sparky: Well, don't keep us in suspense! What is it?

Peachy: All the budgies are going to have a whole room to themselves a the new house.
And, the lovebirds will have a separate room all their own! Instead of cages having to be moved around every day, we'll have lots of space!

Poppy: What? Does that mean we'll have even MORE room to fly around during our out-of-cage time than we do at this house?

Peachy: You will! The rooms are right across the hall from each other so every birdie can still talk to one another. I'm sure sometimes Mom will even move the huge flight cages into the same room so we can visit in the evenings before bed if we really want her to.

Seffra: Well, this "Moving Day" might not be so bad after all.

Soterion: When do we leave and where are we going to be after "Moving Day"?

Peachy: We leave Virginia to head to Florida on the 19th of this month. We should be at our new house the evening of the 20th. We'll even be able to see a lake out the windows at the new house because the house is right on the water. I really am excited!

Everybirdie now chattering amongst themselves discussing what the upcoming big adventure will hold for them.

Peanut and JoJo were very excited to hear about the FaeryBee flocks upcoming adventure and will be eagerly waiting to hear all about the road trip and what everybirdie thinks of the new house. They told me to ask if you've made a list of songs to sing while on the road yet, or if you're just going to wing it (pun intended )?

Hi Deborah.

I so love to see the gang in action, especially Peachy!! I am jealous of his attention.
Rory is learning to pick up the yard. His big brother is a fantastic teacher. Is Mom going to
take them to puppy school. Maybe Ted will join so they can all go to school together.Hi everyone.I miss the TB family, Sending Prayers to everyone. What a wonderful new house!!! Lots of room for adventures and mischief. I bet the birdies are already planning!!

Love and prayers for a safe trip to your new home. What a beautiful mansion . Are you going to have some one to help you keep the place in order?

Blessings, Jo Ann
I am sure the flock will be talking about the upcoming big adventure for some time, please keep us posted on all the exciting events.
Oh my goodness Deborah, that’s going to be one noisy car ride if they all decide to sing along :giggle:

Hopefully the changing environments will keep them all interested enough to avoid any cabin fever.
Are Rory & Shadow included in this road trip too or are they escaping on a little ‘holiday’?
It sounds like a lot of planning, but I can see that you’ve probably thought it all through in fine detail.

The new house sounds lovely and the two bird rooms are a very well deserved luxury.
Before you know it, you’ll be all moved in and unpacked; thankful and feeling that the upheaval was all worthwhile.
The very best wishes that everything goes smoothly! :flowers:
Thanks for all the well-wishes!

Kellie,

We know we'll be singing along with my U2 CD since it is everybirdie's favorite.
I'm sure "Bad Bird, Bad Bird, Whatcha Gonna Do" and "Bird, Bird, Bird - Bird is the Word!" will be on the song list since that those get sung to Peachy on a regular basis.
Other than that, the old road-trip stand-by of "500 miles" is sure to come in somewhere during the trip. The flock will let me know what else they want to sing as the miles progress. ;)

Kisses to Peanut and JoJo from the flock!

Hi, Jo Ann -
I don't know yet if I'm going to have someone come in occasionally to help clean up the house or if that and taking care of the animals is going to be my full-time job. :laughing2: I guess it remains to be seen.

Peachy is as spoiled as ever and wants my undivided attention for as much of the day as possible.

Rory did go to basic doggy school.
The biggest problem we have with him is that he is the most overly exuberant dog I've ever had. He's very vocal so the barking is an issue. He's still only 10 months old so I'm hoping he'll outgrow some of it as he matures.

I am sure the flock will be talking about the upcoming big adventure for some time, please keep us posted on all the exciting events.
Will do! If I remember in all the chaos, I'll try to get a picture of all the travel cages once everybirdie has been situated in the car on the day of the move. :yes:

Thank you, Julia!

Yes, Rory and Shadow are included in the adventure and will be riding in the back seat of the Prius. I have a back seat/cover that attaches to the headrests of the front seats as well as the headrests of the back seats.
As such, it not only protects the seats but also serves as a big of a hammock in that it prevents anypup from falling into the foot well. ;) The boys both have harnesses that hook to the seat belt fasteners so they are able to move around in the back seat but are secured in a manner that then trying to go over either the back seat or come through the console into the front area is impossible.

Basically, my car has been designated as the official mode of transportation for the entire flock, Rory and Shadow and me. My car will be full with all the animals so the only extra room I'll have will be the passenger seat and front passenger floor board area. I'll put a small cooler there along with water, dishes, food, etc. for the boys and the birdies.

Ted will be driving his Rav-4 down and pulling a small 5x8 trailer behind it. The trailer will have our suitcases, flammable liquids, and any other items that can't go into the moving truck or which we may need in the days before our stuff actually arrives at the new house.

Here are a couple of pictures of the new house which were taken from the realtor's website when the house was listed for sale:

Those birds of yours are so cute Deborah! :giggle:

Sounds like you’re well organized and finally ready for the big move. I know everything will work out fine, and it will be so worth it in the end. :hug:

The property is absolutely gorgeous, and looks so peaceful. I’d be excited too! :D
Thank you, Julie!

I must admit that I'm really looking forward to no longer being in a townhouse with the neighbors right on top of me. :rolleyes:

Having two designated rooms for the birds is going to cut down on a lot of effort in moving the cages around on a daily basis in order for them all to have safe and protected out-of-cage time.

Additionally, finally having a fenced in back-yard with grass where Rory and Shadow can run and play is a dream come true for me.

I feel incredibly blessed :pray: that Ted and I are going to be able to have the new place and I'm looking forward to all the changes it will bring for us. :blush:
The property looks beautiful, and I'm sure everybirdy is going to enjoy having the separate rooms!
Everything looks beautiful, it looks like the flock may have their own screened in porch too.
What a beautiful property! I'm so glad that you and Ted found a great place to settle with the entire flock (and two pups) :)

I hope the move goes well! It seems you're all ready to go :D
Oh wow, what a gorgeous property and no doubt the view from that big window is spectacular. I can't wait to hear the news that you've arrived safely, settled in and are enjoying the beautiful house and surrounding grounds. Are you into boating? Will you be cruising on the lake?

It sounds like your car ride will be a lot of fun (sing alongs always are). By the way, I have one of those car seat hammocks too. They're a great idea and work really well (& a great price too).

The screened in porches are going to be my favorite part of the house! It's great that there is both an upper level and a lower level one can enjoy. :D

Thanks for your kind comments, Star.
I'm glad Ted's finally willing to make the changes and hope that having the new place will give him a chance to finally kick-back and enjoy life a little. His whole world was wrapped up in his work previously.

Kellie, Ted and I both love the water and will be planning to purchase a boat so we can better enjoy it. In addition to the lake where the house is located, there is a large "chain" of lakes throughout Lake County, FL to be explored and enjoyed. I'm truly looking forward to those times.

Since moving day is now fast approaching, things are getting a bit more chaotic. I'll definitely keep you all posted on the move. The flock will be sure to let you know their thoughts once they are settled into the new house.
