Happy News

Remember Quincy from last post? Well I've got some exciting news to tell you! This morning Quincy woke me up around 8 in the morning. I took the towel off his temporary home and brought him outside to the balcony so he can sing and chirp at the the budgies near by. I felt so bad for him, he looked so lonely. When my brother got home, he asked my neighbor/brother's childhood friend if we can have their old cage. Then we went out to the pet shop and got him a cuttle bone fish and a WIFE. She's white as snow, plump, and beautiful, I named her Pearl. Once my brother put Pearl in the cage with Quincy, they started chirping at each other. Quincy even had the nerve to peck her head. But now they are inseparable. Quincy is putting the moves on her by puffing his chest, flexing his wings, cleaning her, and singing to her. Let's hope he gets some.

When they first met, it was a little awkward. Quincy: "So... you like.. stuff?"

Lovely home isn't it? It has 2 perches and a swing. Just like the temporary home (bachelors pad).

"Lubee, look what I have. Wake up. Look!", This morning I woke up to my mom holding a plastic jar with a little nervous Zebra Finch in it. She said she found it caught in between a window.

Side Story: When I was in elementary, my mom found a little baby turtle just walking around at one of the shopping plazas at Chinatown. She put it in her grocery bag and brought it back home. I took care of it and named it Squirtle, along with two older turtles named Blastoise and Warturtle.

We were about to set it free when my sister lied that she wanted it, but it's really for my dad since he loves birds and it is an activity to exercise his brain because he's getting pretty senile.

Cute right? I think I'll name it Quincy.

I did my research on how to keep a Zebra Finch happy, so hopefully my mom allows us to keep it. Since my sister didn't have time to buy a cage, I went out to the 99 cent store to make a temporary one:

Cage Contains:

• Trash bin
• 2 different size chopsticks (Quincy can jump around and flex his little dirty birdy feet muscles.)
• 2 Porcelain flower pot reservoirs for bird feed & water
• 1 Cellphone charm with string (For play)
• Fashion bangle (As a swing)
• Plastic food platter to cover the bottom

I only spent $2 dollars for the trash bin and bird feed. Everything else was found at home. Yeah, I know; it's pretty ghetto but it works! It's only until we find one of those antique Chinese bird cage. Plus I think we just might get Quincy a friend. But that's only if we get to keep him... or her.
