I was born and raised and still reside in this small 2nd class city known as Akutan, Alaska! About 750 miles Southwest of Anchorage, 40 miles Northeast of Dutch Harbor/Unalaska. These are my opinions and what I do... I hope you enjoy a glimpse into my life!

yeah they scared the s**t out of me when we got home from a trip and these 2 little ugly things were hissing at me. I so didn't expect them in there! Then having to hand feed them was a pain - having to weigh them and feed them every 2-4 hours, making sure they ate enough, was a lot of hard work every day caring for them. But now they are full grown and taking care of themselves!! Happy I know how old the little ones are, I never knew how old the parent birds were.. Handraising a bird is definately not something I'd recommend someone doing, but I was happy I researched what all I'd have to do if the parents did abandonded (them like they did). I think I need to get another bird for the cage, since they are turning to incest since I have a male and a female... they don't know they are brother and sister, but I do!!! :P Cute birds, I'm going to miss my first 2 though :(
wow! So cool, I must've missed this post, I don't know much about birds but it seems impressive that you guys raised them from being born!!
