Last night was a milestone for the chicks.
The oldest, Nacho, was given access to a protected yard outside for the night! I'm not sure how much he was really out in the yard, but he could've gone out there at any time he wanted. He's all grown up!
*sniff*
On a side note, it's time for us to stop babying these chicks! We're leaving for Necedah in 2 weeks, this means that they have to be able to eat outside, forage for real (not just peck the ground beside us to imitate our actions), sleep outside in July weather, and start exhibiting crane behavior.
It's so exciting!
About Me
- the conservation activist
- I'm going to save the world someday! I'm finishing up my master's in Zoo and Aquarium Management and I'm about to step out into the big world of animal conservation. I've worked with animals my whole life, and I've always had a drive to make a more significant impact on their survival in the wild. Now's my chance; let's have some fun!
