The Crew

I'm head zoo keeper at the home of 2 dogs and 7 birds. The cast of characters are:

Axl & Lola Brother and sister pitbull/sharpei mixes. Just about 1 year old and very, very high energy.

Sam - a 26 year old umbrella cockatoo. He has some confidence and security issues we are dealing with.

The Rest of the Crew

Chubs and Kiko - a pair of cockatiels that have yet to produce viable eggs.

Peanut - aka Mr. P. The talking ringneck.

Ricci - The blue ringneck and playmate of Mr. P.

Juliet and Rock Star - a pair of English Budgies that only like my husband and tend to make a lot of noise.

And more scales

A couple of weeks ago we found a female jackson chameleon in our yard. She's still hanging out on the tree by our gate, we see her every once in a while.

A little while ago we heard Nala barking. Now Nala hasn't barked in 6 months, there is just nothing that is worth her getting all excited over. So we heard her barking and went running thinking something was wrong. Turns out there was an intruder in her bed. This was walking across her bed:

This is a male jackson chameleon, you can tell by the horns, and apparently he was under our shed because he's all dusty and has cobwebs on him. We took him and put him on the tree the female lives in. Who knows, we may end up having babies. Since these guys sell for a couple of hundred a piece, maybe that will be my new job :)
