New life,new parrots,new love

These past 9 months have been a new chapter in my life, I have finally found a man who truly loves me & I am so grateful. It is hard to start a new relationship after -well for me it has been 40 years since I have been with someone-but he has been alone also for many years & it is an adjustment for both of us,but we are making it.He has no pets, so you all know what a good man he is for accepting all of mine, & they LOVE him,which is such a plus in his favor.

I have bought 2 more parrots who needed a home,a cockatoo & an amazon., I will post pictures later..they really needed a home so I feel as if I rescued them. 

I spend too much time on Facebook,lol. thus abandoning my blog for awhile, my name on Facebook is PhyllisAnn Hooven Oller if you care to friend me.

The red breasted nuthatches have practically landing on me,sharing some pictures with you...

Fox Sparrows


He & I are tired of the winter

Soooo, it has almost been a YEAR since I blogged. What would bring me back? Well,I have really missed my friends, & I really had to share a new pair of birds,ones I have never seen but maybe others have, fox sparrows. In ONE of the recent snowstorms we`ve had  a pair came to the feeder,I am hoping they`ve stayed awhile but haven`t really walked through the woods to see if any signs of them remain.

Sat.`s Critters

Sonya,bird watching as she tears up a stick
Pumpkin my mom`s cat 
4 cuckoo marans,2 easter eggers,an extra yellow chick that I didn`t order in case 1 dies I suppose & 1 of the easter eggers might not make it
eastern bluebird
catbird
baby wrens fledged from the mailbox & were carefully hidden in this butterfly bush,still being fed by parents
A lot of activity here at my feeder in Pa.,the bluebirds are still coming for food but I have not seen any babies yet.

The carolina wrens fledged from the mailbox & seem to be on their way to adulthood still being protected & taught by the parents to stay in dense shrubs while they work on their flying techniques. I did not crop these photos as I wanted you to see how well protected they are.

This robin reminds me of my robin of years ago who followed all about the yard after my husband & I saved him. You can scroll through my older posts to find the "robin with the wierd feather".

These are the last chicks I am getting, I wanted the Cuckoo Marans as they lay the deep dark brown eggs that supposedly have a different flavor, & a couple of more easter eggers.I am up tp 16 chickens now & that is enough for me to care for. I love the silkies but I tell myself no...

I am linking up with Eileen here to share these critters & enjoy others from around the states & world. Link Here:
