#53. Happy 8th Birthday to My Bird “Spree”
Today is Spree’s 8th birthday. She came to me thru a shelter as a foster & I adopted her She was about a year old when I got her. She is what’s called a White-faced Cockatiel which is a very beautiful color mutation in my eyes. I had wanted a White-face for a long time. […]

21. Rabbit/Bunny care (#1 in series)
I decided to break this up into a series of at least 3, so not too long. Rabbits have different personalities, just like many pets.
