: searching re: diet, etc. I'm not an
: expert, but today we did something
: wonderful with the babies ... we
: found one of those screened-in tents
: on sale (summer closeout special)
: and it's worth every penny. Now
: they can fine-tune their flying
: skills while protected from cats and
: dogs. Also, we bought a bag of 50
: crickets ... we'll let 5 or so loose
: at a time so they can work on their
: bug catching skills. Crickets and
: nightcrawlers (we cut them up into
: six pieces) are available at bait
: shops. (Beats digging!) Feel free
: to email me if you'd like to
: discuss. I'll give you my phone
: number or I'll call you.
