I'm Slipping!
The little one is slipping off the perch. You see, her brother had a hold of the side of the cage. I got several snapshots, from which I drew the picture. My first selection to be viewed 500 times.
This is Peter and Wendy, two of my orphan wildlife babies. They were healthy and fat until their release at the wildlife center at about 3 months of age. The reward for caring for sick and injured wildlife is the chance to raise totally healthy babies.

You are going to put these in the Montana group are you not? And also the Great Outdoors group?
Kay Kempton Raade replied
Ooooh, I haven’t found the “great outdoors.” Since I raised and released these in NC, I can’t put them on Montana.
