No Spring Chicken

Well yesterday our 16 year old cockatiel, Emmy had a major operation to remove a tumor from her left wing. She'd had it for over 10 years but just recently it doubled in size and began to bother her. A great new bird vet we just found recommended surgery even though there was a 30% change she might not make it. Doctor Exline said it would be like operating on a 90 year old lady and amputating her hand. Long story short Emmy is now missing one hand. But thankfully she is doing great and back to living the dream. (see video).

We are going to celebrate by getting her a new cage. That is if it ever stops snowing. Yeah that's right, it's the first day of spring and we have over 5 inches of fresh snow on the ground (again the video).

Well thanks for stopping by,

Billy

P.S. Oh, and check back soon new paintings just about ready.
