I just melted into a puddle. That’s precious!

Right? He is the first thing I think of every morning and I rush out every morning to make sure he made it thru the night. He has such a personality!

He may keep coming back forever… Or until he finds a mate.

I nursed a baby robin back to health and it would come when I whistled. It kept coming back every year too. Until one year it didn’t. Birds are cool!

This lil one comes to whistles, etc. too. He is slowly moving away from us which is a good thing. No longer sleeps on our lap and rarely lets us hold him/carry him around. Really standing his ground on being on his own. We try to follow his lead with any new phase and not hold him down (as hard as that is LOL) … I know he will return and I know one day he won’t … such is life … @mudman we’re hoping he is a she b/c there is a greater chance of a she staying around, while a male will leave us to join a female elsewhere. Or so I’m told. Who knows. Birds are totally cool!
I’m not one of those parents who push their kids photos on peeps, but I do with birdie LOL … so here goes:

I wish the 1st African grey I bought would have came back…lol that’s what I got for thinking I knew how to clip wings. Birds are very cool I agree. Always been fascinated with falcons since middle school. Our science teacher had a falconer buddy that would come in all the time with birds of prey.
Plants are looking big and beautiful. With the size pots and on top of being outside they’re going to keep you busy busy with watering. Gulp gulp…

Oh man … my poor cat. He is in cat jail this whole time (in the house). He is a bird murderer and a very good one, too (also vermin catcher). But we can’t chance him being out there with our birdie!!
We also heard that the Olympia cat killer may have resurfaced and two cats in the neighborhood were victims of the cat killer back in 2018, so maybe it’s for the best kitty not go out for awhile.

You must be shitting me! When MK disappeared a few weeks ago I walked all around my little neighborhood thinking about that a-hole and praying I wouldn’t find her mutilated body.

Oh, man, I am so sorry! The recent killing was by Olympia High School. The post for it has since been taken down, so I wonder … there was a horrific photo by the owner. I’m hoping for the best on this story, that it isn’t the resurfacing of a lunatic a-hole that I know many of us would tear apart if/when we find him.
If it helps any, and I know it doesn’t, it looks like you live in an area where anything could have gotten your kitty (sorry!!) and we have so many predators to worry about with our kitties (and birdies). Mother nature is a bitch.
That was such a scary time, especially with it happening two doors down from me and two blocks down. Both neighbors I knew well. Unbelievable. I had to put my cat on xanax, I shit you not. He was going crazy wanting out.
Been meaning to write and see how the trip went. I’ll chat with you soon.

I’m not fooling myself. Every neighbor that’s ever tried to raise a couple of chickens has failed.
She was a good old cat and she had lost a lot of weight. She trotted out the front door on a Monday night and I hope she found a spot under a tree somewhere to fall asleep and pass away.
We also have a bunch of these big, fucking barred owls that take care of the bunnies and squirrels.
I’m sure it was just part of the circle of life.

I lost a cat on the 12th from 2 boxers up the street. I called animal control and did a notarized statement. I’m seeing this through Especially since they have NOT come.down and said shit to me. I have cooled down a lot but it was awful.

[Seeder Breeder Grow Journal let the pollen begin! - #18 by 970cannetics]
You can swing by my journal and see what males look like so when you run into that problem you will have an idea what you are up against.
Now for the starting the seeds by soaking them or just putting them into a medium. I personally just put them straight into the medium I use to grow in any pot. Just a good mix of potting soils and garden soils, organic fertilizers like Neem and kelp. I’ve seen growers soak them straight in water do the wet paper towel, you name it. From what I’ve seen it’s more or less the growers preference. I always recommend just doing what you are most comfortable with. There are so many ways you can start a seed. And none are exactly wrong. Just depends on what works for you.
Good luck happy growing.

They do look thirsty, I keep the ratio of nutes to water the same wether it’s 5 gal I’m mixing or 50. I only adust the ratio if they need more or less food.
