Did I tell you we have bunnies?

Willow and Maple when we first brought them home!
Ok, so we have two "mulitated" bunnies that we were given from a friend whose daughter raises bunnies for show.  It had been the mother bunny's first litter and she was overzealous in her cleaning--Maple has one half ear and one stump and no tail; Willow has one perfect ear and one stump.  Maple is sweet as can be and content in her containment; Willow is ornery, lunges, "huffs", and bites and is our escape artist.  Oh, so this is a bird blog...Our big fear is that when we let the bunnies out to romp in the yard, the hawk will swoop down and get them.  That would be a nightmare!

So I just went out with my son while he uncovered the bunnies in their hutch and I checked feeders.  The squirrels (or someone) knocked down both peanut feeders again and one suet was empty. So I refilled both.  I made the mistake of going into Wild Birds Unlimited again yesterday--it's like a wonderland in there.  I just wish it were in my price range. I had sent them an email and a photo of my "Who is This" bird in my previous post and they posted back the same day with links and suggested a juvenile Blue Gosbeak.  What great folks--Thanks Wild Birds Unlimited!
