Musetta's Waltz

I met Musetta after a late Tuesday evening run September 28. It was dark and only her silhouette was visible. She was a very young (maybe 6 or 7 days old) abandoned baby. I handfed her for about twelve days until she could eat on her own. Musetta has grown quite quickly; she's quite trusting and has a sweet, lively personality.  There's nothing like holding a bird in your hands! What wonderful, magnificent creatures!

Update: On October 10, 1999, Musetta flew for the first time!  She's quite brave -- I guess she's a natural!

Final Update: Musetta Bird died on September 29, 2003, in my aviary, of natural causes. Her husband Jolo survives her. She was very much loved and will be greatly missed.
