Cloudy

  Hi, I have some very sad news, Cloudy died two days ago. When I saw she was sick we could not take her to a doctor because it was the weekend and we could not do anything about it. She was egg bound so she died suffering which made it more sad...  Sunny is heartbroken and is screeching like crazy ever since it happened. I loved her very, very, much and I know I will miss her a lot. She died in my hands. (very sad moment) We are trying to take care of the egg she layed a few days before it happened. I hope she is happy in heaven.   

Assignment

  Hi, sorry for not typing for a while but I guess I was just busy, let me tell you a few things thats going on right now before I get to the assignment part. We took all of Cloudy's eggs out to give her a very long break and to get her healthier again and it seems to be working. It is almost Christmas and I need to get busy with presents so I can be ready for the holiday. Let me tell you what I wrote for one of my assignments for school.    


                                                                 Poseidon:
      Poseidon was the god of the sea. His mother, Rhea and his father, Cronus had many other children besides  him. They were named Hestia, Demeter, Hera, and also Hades. Poseidon's cyclops uncles made things for Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. The things were thunderbolts for Zeus, a trident for Poseidon, and a helmet of darkness for Hades. Poseidon was a moody god and when he was mad he flooded the land or made the water very rough and when he struck the earth mountains erupted. When he was calm rivers dried and islands formed. He created the first horse from a rock and raced the waves with his horse-drawn chariot. Usually he stayed underwater in a palace with his queen, Amphitrite, a lovely sea godess. They had three children together, though he had many more because like Zeus, he could not resist goddesses, nymphs, or mortals. He also had three giant sons Otus, Ephialtes, and Orion. Orion was modest unlike the other two which were not. That is the end!!       

Hi!!

   Hello, I'm sorry I have not typed on my blog for a long time but I guess I just was too busy with home school lately that I couldn't, then, but I can now! That reminds me that I wanted to talk about home school! Home school is doing great right now and we have been getting a lot of stuff  done. We also got the movie "UP" last night! It is a great movie, and I highly reccommend that you watch it. :) That reminds me of another thing, my mom's birthday is coming up in a week so remember to tell her Happy Birthday when that time comes. I am going to talk about an update on the birds. None of the eggs hatched, I am sorry to say, due to Cloudy not sitting on them for two days recently and they might have been fried on the day of the incident on my last post. They have been mating a lot though so at least they are going to lay a lot more eggs! We are going to throw away the dead ones because they passed the day that they were going to hatch. I finished reading "A Single Shard".  It was a really great book about an orphan named Tree Ear.  It's sad in some parts, but I really like it, and I hope you like it too. Thats all, really.  Good bye!

P.S. Cloudy just laid a new egg today!  We'll see if we have better luck this time.

Sigh...........

    Hi, I'm pretty sad right now let me tell you why. Today Evelyn broke one of the eggs!!! It started like this, we were changing the cage when my mom thought we needed to change the nesting box. So we changed it and replaced the rages that was inside to shredded paper towels. Then about five minutes later Cloudy still didn't go in the nesting box so we knew something was wrong. Then I remembered that on the computer that cockatiels like to use one kind of material while their nesting. So Lucy and I changed it again and put rages in it like before but when cloudy still did not sit on the eggs (theirs five eggs) we decided to take it into our own hands. First we got a strong lamp to keep the eggs warm and a box, then we took the nesting box, put it in the other box and turned the light on. Then a few minutes later I heard a crash from the light! I ran over their and I saw one of of the eggs was broken as well as Evelyn standing right over the box!!! We fixed the problem and we gave a funeral to the almost fully developed chick. After my mom came in and said when she went to check on them that they were too hot!! She turned the light off  and then took the nesting box back into the cage. I am praying and fasting for them and if you can PLEASE FAST AND PRAY FOR THEM TOO!!!!  Bye :(                

Lots of news!

Cloudy sitting on her eggs

    Hello! I'm sorry I haven't typed for a while but I guess I have been so excited lately with all the news I haven't gotten around to it!! First of all I want to talk about the birds. Cloudy has lain eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Isn't that exciting?! Let me tell you about it, when we were at the beach (Lucy is talking about it on her blog) the person who was taking care of our pets called us on October eighth and told us that she saw a egg in one of the corners of the cockatiel's cage. she told us whenever she tried to put the blanket on the birds cage so they could go to sleep Sunny started squawking! Which means they are being protective of their egg! Four days later when we got home from the beach we looked in the cage and... there was three more eggs! We looked again and we saw the first one that Cloudy laid was broken which means that the egg shell was not strong and thick enough. The other eggs were okay though. Today Cloudy is starting getting bound to her eggs witch means that she is going to sit on them a lot! I am not reading anything right now so I hope you enjoy what I wrote. Until next time!!!   

Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!! :)

  Guess what!!! The cockatiels just mated!!! I am so dearly excited and in about seven to ten days Cloudy is going to lay an egg! Also after that in twenty-something days it will hatch! Are you as excited as I am right now!? Let me tell you how it happened. About ten minutes ago (its 2:56 p.m. right now) when I was playing a game called TANGOES I heard screeching so I looked where it was coming from and Sunny was stepping on Cloudy! (Luckily I watched a movie that shows birds mating so I knew what was going on.) After they stopped we were all very excited about what just happened. Home school is going well and we already learned some new things and one of them is Roman numerals. We are in sixth grade but we are doing seventh grade math. (Me and Lucy) I started a new book series called "The Sisters Grimm by: Micheal Buckley"and I just finished the sixth book. It is a really good book series about two girls who go to live at their "dead" grandmother's house and soon find out they are fairy-tale detectives and they go on all sorts of adventures. I hope you like it!                  

Cockatiels!!

                        Sunny                           Cloudy                                                                                                                                                           Guess what!? Lucy and I got new cockatiels last night! We got them from an old lady who could not give them as much attention as they needed. Plus all of her kids grew up and left home. We have two cockatiels  now! I am very glad we got them and we got them for free, a cage came with it, and the lady gave us a book about them too. They are a breeding pair of cockatiels. They are seven to ten years old and their names are Sunny and Cloudy, Sunny is the boy and Cloudy is the girl. They are both very sweet and I think they are happier now. Sunny and Cloudy are both Pearl Pied Cockatiels and Sunny has a gray body with black and white wings and his face is yellow with redish orangeish cheeks while Cloudy has a black and yellow speckled body with black and yellow wings and a almost all the way yellow head with gray and lighter orange cheeks then Sunny. Don't they sound beautiful? They both like to talk a lot and Lucy and I taught Sunny a few tricks. Some of the tricks that we taught him is pumping his head up and down, whistling a little, waving his claw a little, and also almost say a few words. It's so exciting! The latest book I have read is called,"The BFG" by: Quentin Blake which is a very wonderful story about a girl and a giant. I hope you like what I wrote and try to find the book I was talking about. Bye!!! 

The Little Prince

   Hi, I have to type about a book called "The Little Prince" by: Antoine De Saint-Exupery because it's my home school assignment that my mom told me to do for writing today. I'ts a very good book about a pilot who was stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see, standing before him, the most extraordinary little fellow that came from another planet who's name is little prince. "Please," asks the stranger, "draw me a sheep." And the pilot realizes that that when life's events are too difficult to understand, there is no choice but to succumb their mysteries. He pulls out a pencil and paper... And thus begins this wise and enchanting fable that, in teaching the secret of what is really important in life, has changed the world forever for it's readers. So if you ever see it how about you check it out? Today is Alice's birthday party but her real birthday was a few days ago. Me and Lucy are going to get a breeding pair of cockatiels! See you later!!
                                         Bye!


P.S. I wrote most of it from the book jacket.

Bored.... and Sad News

  Hi, I can't believe anyone except myself and my cousin has commented on my blog lately!!! I wish someone could though because it would be really nice if they could. Well as long as I'm on I might as well write on my blog. I don't know what to write that much but I guess I'll talk about the birds. The sad news is (as you can see on my cover) that we don't have the cockatiels anymore. The reason is that the day I wrote on my blog about the cockatiels I found Fred looking tired so I told my dad about it and he figured that he did not have enough sleep. So I went upstairs to put a sheet on them. Then a few hours later I went upstairs to pack for my grandmas house and I found him laying on the bottom of the cage! He was still alive so I scooped him up and ran downstairs to my mom. So I showed my mom and I asked her if he was going to live. She said, " I don't know." she picked him up out of my hands and washed off his bum with a wet paper towel because it was really poopy. When she was done my grandma told her that when we got the cockatiels  (their was three in there) one of them looked sick which was probably why Fred got sick. I was really sad at that time and my mom told me to get a box for him and wash my hands. I did what I was told and got a music box so Fred could have a peaceful death. Then a few minutes later Lucy and I packed up the rest of our stuff and went to the pet store to return Fred and Lemony Snicket. (We had to return Lemony Snicket because we were afraid that he got sick too.) So that is really all the story of the cockatiels. The book I'm reading now is called "Every Soul a Star" and it's about three kids who meet together at a campground for a solar eclipse that changes their lives forever. Bye!             

Hi again!

Fred                                        

Lemony Snicket 

    Hi, I'm sorry I haven't wrote on my blog for a while but I guess I didn't have time. First of all I want to talk about the cockatiels that Lucy and I got recently. We got them one week ago and there are two of them. Mine is a normal gray cockatiel and Lucy has a whiteish yellowish cockatiel. They are both males and mine is named Fred and Lucy's is named Lemony Snicket or Lemon Head for short. Fred can already go on my finger and he lets Lucy rub his belly for a few seconds. (Lemon Head can't do these things yet) We started home school a few days ago and so far I like it. We don't have our books but we will get them soon. Me, Lucy, and Grace are doing home school while Alice is going to public school. I have recently read the Harry Potter series for the third time and I also read The Children of Topaz which is a really good book about the Japanese Americans when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.          

Sad News...Arrrrrg!!!!! good news too.

    I just found out today that I might not get my cockatiel right now even next week! I'm not Happy about this and I don't even know when the shipment is coming!! My cousin Katie is staying is at my house right now! Everything is going wrong today and I woke up at 6:15am. I hope that the rest of the day is okay and that my cousin calms down. Oh, yeah I forgot to tell you that I am 11 years old, I'm going to going into 6th grade, and I'm doing home school this year:) Bye for now!
