The Polish Owls have arrived and so worth the wait ♡ I spent the morning beside them, sitting on a milk crate in their loft sharing smiles 😊
An added bonus- Reunited with my beloved handraised boy (2021) "Pip" a Budapest short- faced Tumbler and found him a bride ♡

I have a lot of page updates to get to but excited to share the latest new addition to our nest! California Valley Quail ❣
Several years ago I acquired a few CVQ and 1 Gambels quail but my 2 year search to find mates was unsuccessful and I regretfully parted with them. *Fun fact-newly born quail are the size of a thimble and they're like highly caffeinated jumping beans 😁.
To get a photo takes patience and a photo light box helps!
Note the adult pair pictured (for reference) is a Free stock internet image. Welcome home littles...

In case you didn't know....
RABBIT manure is packed with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, minerals and micronutrients.
It contains beneficial trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, boron, zinc, manganese, sulfur, copper and cobalt, just to name a few.
Nitrogen 👎. Rabbit manure is higher in nitrogen than sheep, goat, chicken, cow or horse manure. Plants need nitrogen to produce strong green growth.
Phosphorus (P). Rabbit manure is also higher in phosphorus than the other manures. It helps with the transformation of solar energy to chemical energy. Phosphorus also helps plants to withstand stress and contributes to more and bigger blossoms, and is great for root growth.
Potassium (K). Potassium helps with fruit quality and reducing disease; plants will not grow without it.
