Menagerie

We were so happy to have Tom home with us last weekend, but he seemed to bring a few new family members with him. We had Uncle Matt bring Austin an aquarium with a few fish, then Austin had to add a few more and a crab. Then my darling hubby decided that it was a good time to purchase the birds that we had been discussing for some time. We don't know for sure why we wanted them, but we have been thinking about getting a pair of lovebirds for about three years. They are so gorgeous, but they are not hand-tamed so we can't hold them, or let them fly the house. So we now have two dogs, two birds, seven fish and a crab. Add to this menagerie one teenager, one pre-teen drama queen and a hyper-active eight year old and we are truly running a zoo.


Houdini
(so named because he is an escape artist determined to free himself from the tank)



Pumpkin


Jack the Pumpkin King



One, Two, Four, Five and Spaz



Masta


Optibird Prime and Jubilee.
(We can't tell them apart, but everyone needs a name.)



Animal and Guinness are not so sure they are liking the birds, but I am doing my best to encourage everyone to play nicely.
