Where'd they go?

Peggy went out to feed the birds in the aviary yesterday and found our two new canaries were missing! She found this in the nest box;



Getting ready to release him.


Free again (and very far from our aviary!)

The circle of life, I guess. We're just wondering why he couldn't eat the birds that we got for free rather than the ones we just bought!

Aw criminy! I'm all for snakes, in fact Eric brings us every one he can catch for our rodent laden pasture but SO glad we haven't lost any of our own critters to them. Maybe cuz we wait to put our chicks outside until they are too big for the local snakes to eat and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be able to take down a cow- hahaha!

Someone should tell that snake those were birds not gophers, maybe he needs some glasses or a new tongue.
