I’m an uncle again, whee! Louise & Brother David’s boy, Gibson, arrived (was born, hatched, torn from the womb, etc) last week so I have a nephew now.

My nasty Angelfish Leonard squirted out eggs onto the aquarium glass this afternoon. That pretty much means he’s not a boy, doesn’t it? I don’t know what she was thinking, considering she’s been alone in the 25g for a while now. The eggs didn’t last long, those that didn’t fall off the glass were eaten.

I figured maybe Oliver would want to fertilize those eggs, but Leonarda was just as vicious as usual, so out Oliver went (again). When the lights went out I moved Leonarda over to the 75g. At this point if they want to kill each other, they can go right ahead. I’m not going to continue to keep them separated by running an aquarium just for Leonarda.

I bought a girl & boy pair of Zebra Finches the other day. Yes, that’s a totally out of the blue thing, isn’t it? I’ve been thinking about it for a very long time, just finally actually did it.

That’s Ben, he’s a bit heated up in that photo. He’d escaped from the cage and flew around the office for quite a while, while I was trying in vain to catch him.

That’s the cage before I moved it into the office.

Oh, and another totally random thing, that’s the Beetle stunt kite I bought that arrived the same day as the bird cage. I’ve yet to fly it, but I look forward to finally giving it a shot.

I also find myself really wanting a ‘Black Bear Hamster’ …I must be having some sort of mid-life pet crisis.
