Finding Nyx

10/22/2021

Hey Everyone I have some really cute lovebirds available through the aviary and I am now running Peace of mind flight harness. Send me a message if you're looking for anything. Oh I also have 2 male green and yellow budgies, 1 lutino female and 1 yellow and green female. They are parent raised. I'm also thinking about parting with some of my budgie pairs.

Hey Everyone! Busy as usual! Well done good news as I am embarking on yet another adventure. I am in the process of taking over Peace of mind flight harnesses. I'm looking forward to this next adventure! If Nutiberries is looking to add a Fischers or peach face love bird to their family Archaeopteryx Aviary will have some available very soon.

Hey Everyone. I'm still here lol. Sorry I haven't posted much... Things are going well and I think Rhage is finally starting to want to be friends. We shall see. So Rhage finally said his first words and it made me automatically tear up because they were Nyx's first words. Peek a boo. Apparently my youngest had been playing with him when I'm not in the room lol.

Hey Everyone. With everything going on in my house I missed the 1 year anniversary of Nyx being gone. I really wish he was here right now to help me go through this with Bubba Boo.
I want to thank every one for all your support over this past year and let you know that you guys are some incredible people!!! I will not be on here tomorrow possibly not the rest of the weekend either. Thank you all again 💙💜💙💜

This was the first time I met Rhage. Hid in my hair and dove into my sweater. I really really did not want to get another blue but there was something about him that made me say yes.
I named him after my favorite character in my absolute favorite book series the Black Dagger Brotherhood by JR Ward

Going live in a couple minutes to give an update!!

Today Nyx would have been 2 years old. It's been a major adjustment to not having him and the thought of never seeing him again still hurts almost a year later. I hope you're having a great birthday today Nyx.

Hey Everyone. I have received quite a few pms asking to share the news early. Nope not yet! 😜. I want to be able to do a live video for it and right now that's not an option lol.
I will share the other amazing exciting news that happened to us last night!
My cockateils hatched their first baby!!!!! For those of you that have been talking to others they are very very hard to find this year. I'm excited to see if the other two eggs hatch that are fertile. I have very proud parents at the moment. Sorry everyone but these babies are already spoken for.

01/08/2021

Hi Everyone. Sorry it's been a while since I've been on. Dealing with everything day by day. Today, today is a hard day but a good day. Today is my mother's birthday. Days like this the anger and sadness sometimes become overwhelming. This morning I went to check on my personal budgie Evie and in the nest box is baby number 3. Hatched on my mom's birthday. So sadness and joy mixed together. As I looked at my calendar the realization hit that on the 9th my grandmother's birthday evie should have another baby hatch that day. Now for everyone that doesn't remember evie was Nyx's best friend.
So for those wondering where I've been in hand feeding my 3rd clutch of budgies. 7 this time! Handfeeding my first clutch of Fischers lovebirds and have more clutches on the way. I really wish Nyx was here to enjoy this with me but some exciting news coming soon!

Now I need to put this out here since lately I've been hearing "oh I want a bird because of a video I saw" 1 bad reason for wanting a bird and 2 all these birds the owners have spent a great deal of time with to get them to do these things. Birds don't just do whatever it is because you saw it in a video! Time, patience and training! Please do a lot of research before getting any animal and do not just go by what you read online. Find someone that actually owns that animal and get their experience

Here's another one

These are some of the cards I can make. They come with envelopes and fold flat. There is a space in the back to put a light so the card lights up

12/03/2020

Hi Everyone! I'd like to introduce you to my second clutch of budgies. These 5 have an American budgie mom and half English half American dad. So 3 of them are a little bigger than your average American budgie. They are so sweet!

Hey Everyone. As you can tell I've been avoiding this page. I keep watching the videos of Nyx and getting angry at myself that I lost something so precious.
I'm also avoiding this page because the go fund me is bombing and I can honestly say I do not expect to reach the goal Kelly set. That's fine. I have no qualms about doing this on my own. Thank you to those that have helped. Your help is appreciated so so much especially in this pandemic when we are all struggling.
I haven't posted any of my crafts for sale as no one has asked for any.
Thank you everyone

11/14/2020

Hey Everyone. Been super busy lately. Please share the go fund me we are still a long long way off.
Yesterday I went and got Nyx forever out upon my skin. I've waited a very long time to be able to get the courage to be able to do this and my love for Nyx was the final push to get me there. I miss him deeply everyday and keep pushing on. Now I can look down at my arm and he's with me in a very special way. These are right after I was done once healed I'll post new ones. A huge Thank you to Korinne G for giving me this beautiful piece and helping me get through this process. Thank you Korinne G💙💙

11/08/2020

We are still pretty far away from the goal. Please share! Please help if you are able. I understand that these are very hard times for a lot of people. If you are unable to help with the money aspect sharing is a great help! Thank you! 💙 If you don't know Nyx's story please come to our page

On November 7th I get to celebrate a great joy in my life and a great sadness. Hemi my beloved husky and the greatest pup I could have ever gotten turns 12! I still thank Stephanie to this day for him. Also on that day Birdies dad Bob passed away one year ago. Life isn't the same without my friend. Bob was one of those people that you started out as friends and over the almost 10 years he became family. He loved my girls and treated them as a grandfather would. He was always there for us and he was such an amazing listener and support. We miss him dearly.

Hi Everyone. Been super super busy. I'm going to be making and selling Christmas cards for $20 for the plain Santa, nativity or Cardinal cards. 35 for the reindeer or sleigh cards. Each one comes with an envelope and they have a space in the back to put a light in for the card to light up. There are pictures of them in the albums. If you want some let me know soon so I have enough time to make them. If you see something else you'd like pm me.

Here's the after....

10/27/2020

So I've been feeling really weighed down lately and it was made worse by the fact I finally figured out what has been nagging at me so badly. My pup Hemi's barkday is November 7th and the light bulb clicked that its also the 1 year anniversary of the passing of Birdies dad and one of the greatest friends I've had Bob. So that felt like a slap to the face...
So last night I decided it was time to stop being terrified follow in a great friend's footsteps and make a change.

10/26/2020

I'm thinking about selling some of the things I make. Any interest?

10/25/2020

I meant to share this right after I received it and I let life get in the way. I want to give a huge thank you to Nikki for drawing this for me!!! I plan on getting it printed and framed! I'm sorry I didn't share your beautiful work earlier Nikki. Thank you again I love it so much!

10/24/2020

Becky I can not thank you enough for this incredible gift!!!

10/24/2020

Hey Everyone. Hope every one is doing well. Been down in the dumps and trying to keep myself as busy as possible.

10/20/2020

Tomorrow marks 1 year since my mother passed. How the hell as it been a year already?!
I really wish Nyx was still with us. Tomorrow is going to be a very hard day
