YEAH!!! So glad to hear they arrived safely
I'm so glad you went to pick them up. I'm sure they're going to need a good settle in and will likely sleep quite well tonight Looking forward to the pictures (naturally)

OK, Pics finally - of the GA Kings!Sorry I didn't get pics out sooner. Lots going on this morning and then when I got back after lunch my camera battery was dead. So after a short charge I got a few pics - below.
As you can see they're enjoying the sun. I have rarely seen them inside the building all day. They do go in for a bit to check things out then right back out. They all had baths yesterday and again just after lunch today. I can tell they are still adjusting to a new place and may be somewhat overwhelmed by all the other 'birds' around. The dominant males are already staking out territory and courting their chosen mates. Several of them are wary of me but most are very tame and will let me touch them already if not actually pick them up. Several of them have broken tail feathers. One good molting season will take care of that. It's hard to tell by these pics but the homers next door are way smaller. I tried to get a pic that showed the comparison but the shadows made it impossible. I didn't realize the size difference was so great. The Kings are about the same size if not just a wee bit smaller than my Modenas. I haven't weighed them yet, just going by looks. They are just beautiful and I can't thank everyone enough for making this happen. Rodney Mvc-024f.jpg Mvc-026f.jpg Mvc-029f.jpg

Hi, Rodney-
Thanks so much for the update and pix! I really appreciate it. Keep 'em coming. 8 ] The broken & missing tail feathers (sorry- forgot to mention that) come from either their escaping from somebody or getting recaught or both. Sometimes the Animal Control Officers catch only a tail rather than a whole bird or some civilian has tried and failed to catch them. Many of them come in that way- Country, Bean, Lulu... Have you noticed the slightly green hue of Jill? Her dye job was much brighter before but time and bathing are fading it. She'll be very proud when she's snow white again. She was died like an Easter chick.  Sometimes they come in with just a little dye on their heads (Trevor has some pink on his) and that is some prayer ritual thing where the bird is marked and then released to "fly the prayer to heaven". I bet they are SO happy! They had that half day of fun at my house and then oops- into the shipping box and so now they're probably wondering what will come next... how nice that they just get to settle in and be birds. I love hearing about them. Thank you for being SO patient. I'm sorry it took such a long time but am so glad this worked out. All best, e

Jenn -
They have perches/roosts inside or outside; whichever they prefer. With the mild weather we've been having they are mostly staying outside. I'm renovating an older barn/building where I used to keep birds but the wire got old and broken so I'm replacing it. Probably in the next couple of weeks they'll be moving there for their permanent residence and will have more than three times the room they have now. Rodney
