Our Babies Leave the Nest

Today is a proud, proud day for Mocha and me, and everyone else at Sunny Zoo! Cheep cheep cheep!

Four of our babies, even one of the youngest ones, were brave enough to leave the nest for the first time! Let's not count the times that Coffee and Mocacchino stretched their necks too far out and tumbled out of the nest accidentally, cheep! They were lucky that Mr Keeper and Big Kid noticed in time and could help them back in, unlike our poor Chacha who had such bad timing.... cheeeeeeeep.......

They flew so well too!  Little Ice-T even made it all the way across the living room, until she fell into Mr Keeper's coffee canister.  That must have been all of 5 metres, estimated Mr Keeper; excellent for a baby bird!  Our tiny Teacup was the only one not yet allowed out.  "You're not going anywhere until you grow some feathers on your head, darling!" I told her.

"That will probably be tomorrow, Dad!" retorted our cheeky little girl.

Their godmother, our dear friend Ellie the parrot, remarked, "Looks like they're going to be quite a handful, Cap!"  She's probably right!

The youngsters flew around for about ten minutes, and played with Big Kid and Little Kid, until they were all tired out and went home.  Then they slept for the whole day, cheep!  

Mocha and I are sooooo happy that we took the chance and escaped from that pet shop, cheep cheep cheeeep!  Looking at our darling babies now, we're so glad that our children (and maybe our children's children??) will get to grow up in fearless freedom at the Sunny Zoo, cheeeeeeep!
