Worried.
Its 0617 and the post office still hasn't called. I think I'm going to go by there on the way to work here in about 45 min. They said the would call between 0430 and 0700, most likely today, for pick-up of my birds.

Went by post office at about 0715 on my way to work.

Still no birds.

The tracking says they left the Mojave office this morning at like 0451. I could drive from Mojave to here and back and back AGAIN in that amount of time!

The gal at the post office said to check back at 0830 and she took my phone numbers down (Work & Home) and said they would call.

Okay, I'm worried. They have been in route from Foy's since Monday afternoon. I sooo hope they're okay. I guess I'll find out here in a little bit.

Yep! They're here now and in the loft. All 6 made it fine. They're great looking birds. I have food and water and grit out for them, but as of yet, they haven't come down off of their perches to drink or eat. I really wish I'd see them drink before I head back to work; this is concerning me a bit, but right now they're all up on perches preening themselves and fluffing up and stretching their wings.

Well... I have their food, grit, pic-pot and water out for them. They've yet to come down off the perches and eat or drink. Its 1020. They've been in the loft since about 0830. I had thought that after 2 days in a shipping box they would be at least way thirsty. I have to head back to work. They know there's "stuff" down there because they keep looking. I scattered some seed on the floor too for them to find. I hope they jump down and drink and eat while I'm gone. I'll be back around 1700. I do hope they'll settle. I suppose it takes a few days. Anyway, it was SOOOOO cool to open the box and see 8 little eyes looking up at me.
