One Step Closer

An important letter arrived for Lachlan today- this is his certificate and transcript from CIT- he has finished his studies and apprenticeship now- he was waiting for this letter so he could submit his application to the appropriate body to apply for his Electrician's licence. The application has been submitted, so now he just has to wait to hear back- not sure how long that will be but he is nearly there! When we ask him if he would like to go out somewhere for dinner to celebrate we get a very low key - maybe! Looks like we might have to go out without him to celebrate!

Zoe

Ziggy is quite comfortable with a new bird just like him, he does try to intimidate her at times, but Zoe seems to stand up for herself, she was brought up with 3 other siblings so knows how to stand up for herself. She is learning new skills every day and getting more and more confident with her flying around. Bill and Amy just love her, I have even seen Lachlan pop her on his shoulder and walk around with her, so I think we have all been smitten by her cuteness and her little croaks and wing lifts!

Ziggy and Zoe

Not quite sure how it all came about but we now are a two macaw family! Bill wanted his own macaw and so now we have Zoe! We have talked about it for quite a while, wondering if getting a second macaw would be double trouble or if it would calm Ziggy down as he really is into everything and so curious- so now we are about to find out! Bill just loves Ziggy but he belongs to Amy so he really didn't need any persuading! So Bill and Amy went across to Yass on Friday and picked up Zoe from the lady who raised her in Temora. So far Zoe is very friendly and cute, she is 5 months old and has settled in very well and seems to get on with everyone in the family. Ziggy is very interested, they are side by side in the cage but it is divided and will remain so for a little while. We really are a "Crazy Bird Household' I cannot believe it

Has been a bit hard to get a good photo of them as they keep moving around a lot- no doubt we will have plenty of opportunities for photos as they live for 70 years. Zoe will be passed down to Amy- he has an inheritance plan in place!
