As usual we met up with all of last years exhibitors and had a quick catch up on all of the previous years events--we had our usual spot in the corner just through the entrance of the marquee.
My good friend Jones The Bead who makes fantastic beaded jewelry etc was at a wedding today so had a good friend of hers running the stall for her next to ours--cant wait to meet up with her tomorrow! She is a laugh a minute is Elaine!
We had to take Punky ( so called after the sticky up hairstyle hes got!) the baby chaffinch with us as he needs feeding every 20 mins or so and his chirping every so often had people curious as to what we were feeding in the little covered box!
We are feeding him a mixture of corned beef and brown bread crumbs mixed with water.
He gets so excited when we take back the tea-towel we use to cover his little box he dances from side to side before he starts feeding from the tweezers!
He is feeding so well, we let him out in the evening to stretch and strengthen his little wings--he can run around like a little mouse but cant fly much at the moment. I do hope we will be able to let him go soon and he can fend for himself.
When we let him out last night he jumped onto Jakes cage-squeezed through the bars and sat quite happily there with Jake wondering quite what this little ball of feathers was!
I asked for a small cage for him on Freecycle but was advised by a fellow Freecycler that Punky would be better off as he was in a small cardboard box as the baby birds tend to injure themselves on bars of cage trying to get out.So for now he will stay in his nest sized box.
We will really miss him when he goes..
