Quail
Today I became the proud caretaker of three quail!!! I am so excited. After looking online I think they are Coturnix Quail with two of them being boys and then my white one I think is a girl. They are so sweet which is apparently a trait of Coturnix. I had my hand in the cage for awhile this afternoon and Mitzy (the white one) was cuddled up ( Read more... ) -

Project of the Year
I got a series of frantic calls yesterday and today from the coordinator of the Project of the Year awards wanting to make sure that I am going to be there tomorrow.
