"Astropause" - Taking a break!

Post by Tachyon »

Due to the arrival of a new member of the family (see pic below), I would not have time for Astronomy. Perhaps when he/she(it?) is grown up, I will rejoin!

Enjoy and clear skies!

Hi,
Due to the arrival of a new member of the family (see pic below), I would not have time for Astronomy.
Hmm... this is a day bird, not a bat or owl right??? So it a day job... Shouldn't affect your night astronomy observation... ha ha ha :P :P

Anyway, it had been a long long time that I hand raise any birds... really miss my childhood days when everyday catch birds, spider, fish, lizards, tortoise and etc...

Have a nice day.

Err.. that's a Lovebird. Haven't thought of a nice name yet. Currently, it is known as 'Peachy'. You know.. a bird in hand is worth two eyepieces in the bush (??? Never mind... ).

Anyway, my dog wants to eat it, my parrolet is jealous and ignores me.... my other birds are also not very happy with the new competition!

Cheers!

Is that the photo of the bird which has just hatched?
I thought the eye will not open until one or two week and not much feathers to start with.
