Almost Weaned

Days Down- 0

Mina, my parrot, was recently moved down to one feeding per day, but hasn't even been taking the full 80ml.  A couple days ago, the store faculty started offering her only 50ml and she hasn't been taking that in whole either.  So, she is almost weaned and will probably be coming home soon.

Yesterday, she had to have her wings retrimmed as she was jumping off my arm and actually getting hieght.  (Which isn't allowed lol)  If she can fly, she is more likely to get hurt.

Now, we have to get her a cage for at home.  Then, over the winter, my father will build her custom cages for the boat, so they fit with all the angles of the boat.

Nothing has changed with our trip plans, but we have been going through ALL of our storage and closets- trying to see what we can donate to Goodwill for tax write-offs.  Plus, what doesn't fit on the boat will be left there, and that means we would have to rent a storage facility, seeing as we are most likely renting out our house.

My dad is also going to work on a lot of stuff over the winter, so we have more storage space on the boat.  He's going to take out the racks in the liquor cabinet, so he can put his Kitchen Aid there, then he will make the casset cabinet deeper, so he can put the liquor there.  He is also going to store stuff under the floor, through the hatch that let's us see the water level.  Hopfully my brother and I will get a larger closet out of this somehow.
