Dogs, cats, horses, chickens, fish? and now birds!

Seriously losing count of our animal tally!

Back on the 19th May I wrote a post with the title of Then we were twenty-three!

That post celebrated the arrival into the Handover household of three Koi.

P1130328

However, since that day the three Koi have not been seen; not even a tremor on the surface of the water. We doubt that they have survived.

Jean found a rather fancy bird cage in a secondhand store the other day and a couple of days ago the cage became home to Mr. Blu and Mr. Green, a pair of Parakeets, or Budgerigars in English speak.  I know many feel uncomfortable about having birds in cages but as the store assistant pointed out, these birds had been breed in captivity and wouldn’t survive a moment if released.

Mr. Green and Mr. Blu!
Mr. Green and Mr. Blu!

I have not a single jot of doubt that Jeannie will love them as she loves all our animals – with total devotion.
