Puff in full male defence display.

I went over to say hello to my babies yesterday morning and Puff was next to his glass facing Ramses. He was MAD! I have only seen him display like this a couple times before. This was impressive. I guess they won't be room mates anytime soon. K~

Seeing Puff like that scares the hell out of me. He's an angry reptile and I couldn't have that in my home.
It has been absolutely fantastic here. Sick today-usually always happens in the first 3 weeks of school,just a one day thing.
A bird loving friend of mine told me that there is a book about ravens and crows, they're supposed to be pretty smart

Oh don't be a pansy Lisa!! He was just pissed at Ramses. He was sweet as a little kitten to me :-)

Ok, so we're SAD that a screaming gull lost it's voice? Sounds perfect to me.

I never read these posts without thinking, "She's a saint! She doesn't even get paid for all that poop!"

Oh, and Bob. I told her I thought it was a good idea. Sorry.

Would have PAID MONEY to see your face, though.
