Five Peewees

The two large ones in the big cage were released and the three little ones in the little cage were moved into the big cage so they had more room.

Except there's a problem. One of the older peewees doesn't like being free.

He refuses to leave and hangs around the cage he used to call home, even visiting the young ones when I put them in the sun. (They need UV or they get rickets.) He still begs for food. This greets me every time I step outside.

At feeding time I have three screaming maniacs in the cage, and one screaming maniac running around my feet. Sometimes he even comes into the house.

Now I have even more screaming maniacs. Three baby peewees arrive this morning. That's 6+1 in care.

Puppets should be used if they're raised on their own, but these birds are in groups. One of the older ones flew off never to be seen again, yet this one hangs around. I think he'll go off with these three younger ones. It looks like they've bonded into a flock.

Either that or I'll have four screaming maniacs at my feet.
