The Bird Witch Project

Late Update-Spent Tuesday -Friday at a Bird and Wildlife Sanctuary. Pretty cool birds and the couple who ran the place were friendly. The living conditions were a bit ... rustic. We were in tents which were freezing at night time. I felt a bit jealous of the birds who were indoors with heatlamps at night! Alot of the work involved cleaning up after the birds. Yech, I never knew that raptors (birds who eat animals) threw up this nasty fur ball of all the stuff they can't digest, eww. I'm thinking I like the vegetarian birds the best.
Me moving into my luxurious accommodation:








Marsh Owl:








Doug holding a baby barn owl, we had six of these little guys move into the sanctuary the second day we were there. They were hissing at us which was pretty funny considering how intimidating they were (not).










My sweet little Swift. I got to feed this wee cutey by hand!









Bella the parrot who loves me...
and Charley the bird who wanted me dead. I still have bruises and scratches from this nasty African Grey.
