Here’s Kalinka in all her glory! She got a little bump on her nose from her plane ride up from North Carolina but she’s just fine. Been here a few days and still pretty nervous but that’s okay!
All the new birds are in quarantine which will be about 50 days, then they will join our flock once they all have a clean bill of health. Kalinka is the sister to Lancelot who I posted a couple days ago. They are about four months old.

Our new white face pearl male Ektar (68R). Hoping to pair him this fall, but since we are moving this summer there is a chance this spring will be our only breeding season this year. So he might have to wait until next spring, which is just fine.

Our new boy Lancelot. He will really help us step up our game in the quality of our birds! But right now he’s only four months old, so he has a lot of growing to do!

Really excited about this baby. Hoping to exhibit her this year and looking forward to seeing how she does! 7 weeks old.
We haven’t actually dna tested her yet so she could be male or female.

Size difference between King and Echo. Echo is older than King but he looks like a little baby next to him! He might be small but he’s top dog in the aviary.

The birbs got new toys! Everyone is stoked for these sea grass mats. I definitely need to look in to making my own because buying enough for the entire flock is quite expensive! But definitely worth it seeing how much they love them.

One of our three 2023 pairings! This is Legacy (13Y) and Avalon (68R). This will be Legacy’s first clutch. We’ve had them together for a couple weeks and just put them in a breeding suite last night. Fingers crossed for fertile eggs in the coming weeks!

Their feathers are growing and opening up more and more every day! Looking forward to them fledging their nest box in the next couple weeks. We’ve always handfed so I’m excited to experience this parent raising process.
