Doves taking a bath

Hello to all, 

I wanted to find something that would let my doves take a bath. I looked the web over and found this item. I will say I am not being paid to show this product. I paid for it and hoped that it would work. I did show it to the doves. They looked interested so I added some warm water and turned on the "spray" of water. They loved it. In fact, if it was larger, it would work just fine. I am in the hope that it will encourage my African parrot to jump in and take a bath. It would be so much better for him than just a spray of water for a bath. 

I can't upload a video here, but the link below will take you to my YouTube channel and you can watch the doves take a bath. Any bird would love to jump in and have some fun.

I do recommend that you watch how much water you add, you only need enough to get the pump-to-pump water with no problems. I also use just warm temp for water, not cold.

Drop by and have some fun watching my doves taking a bath. There will be more videos coming now that I have got the first one uploaded. Just learning how to work all the whistles and bells.

Snow? - I thought we left AK!

Hello to all, 

This is the most snow I have seen in West Virginia since we moved here. We moved here back in 2019. We have seen a little snow here and there but nothing like this. I do understand that more is on the way after this storm is over. I do love how pretty everything is after a good wet snowfall. But now when one has to get out and go somewhere. 

Here is a link to watch Vince's plowing snow video.

Here are some pics of snow around us in the yard.

Crown of Thorns

Hello to all, 

This is a picture of my crown of thorns that was sold to me as an ORANGE flowering plant. Although it is very pretty, it is not orange. The flower behind the red with blotches is a yellow flower with red blotches. It is truly "weird" in color. I love it, but I have noticed also that it is a grafted plant. Nothing was said in the info about the plant that it was grafted. 

My ORANGE flowering Crown of Thorns?

I will contact the company I bought this from because, contrary to what I was told, it is not "orange" flowering.

Love and Prayers,

 Margo

P.S. Update: Jan. 09, 2025

Contacted the company and they said it was "mislabeled" and they would be sending me another "orange" Crown of Thorns. Very nice of them. 

My Yellow and Purple Orchids

Hello to all, 

I bought yellow and purple orchids last summer. When they finished flowering, I thought I would never see them flower again well, I was wrong, now in November they both put on buds. Then in December, the buds got larger and now at the end of December, it has started to flower, the yellow one. Then today now in January the purple has one flower opening. I am so happy to see them bloom again. I know nothing about orchards, so to have them flower again is wonderful.

A few days later than the other pic.

I wish they had a lovely smell to go with all the colors.
