Squabbles Coos & Clucks LLC Rescue, Rehab & Care for Pigeons, Doves, & Chickens Lake County, IL. EIN #92-1226854 I am all about rescue, rehab, foster, and adoption.

I do NOT support anything that involves exploiting any animal whatsoever. I am VEGAN FOR THE ANIMALS! I provide a loving and caring home for Pigeons, Doves, and Chickens. This is a FT job outside of my FT Career. I will always choose their needs over any wants of mine. I will always place them first.

I will always Advocate for the Animals and be their voice. I would love to do so much more and get a lot more involved, like attending vigils for them, creating Live Events to spread more awareness, and so much more. However due to my work schedule and providing for all the birds in my care, I have very little quality time left. This isn’t about shaming anyone, but we all need to be honest with ourselves and understand that some words do matter. Anyone who is interested in learning more about making a change to a compassionate lifestyle by going Vegan can reach out to me via private message if they’d like. The change is easier than most people think and no it isn’t anymore expensive.

I will ALWAYS follow Pages and Groups that are clearly full of Compassion, Cruelty-Free, and provide ethical and gentle advice with care for ill and injured animals. I disagree with exploiting animals, which includes using and abusing animals. IMO People who purposefully harm animals are people with bad intentions to begin with and are just S**t people. I don’t know how people can go onto the Internet and feel good about sharing their stories of how they abused their animals, the very same animals they continue to exploit as well. They should be ashamed of themselves and yet so many pump each other up and encourage that sort of S**tty behavior. Are people really that awful? Apparently so, and that is what seems to be wrong with society, we are all going down the toilet. I have been BLOCKING every single one of these groups that comes across my feed lately because I cannot stand reading about this type of behavior. These S**tty People tend to come out in large groups on FB and they all encourage each other, just So Darn Gross! In the comments section of that post, Patsy seems to be so proud of how as a human she was able to handle a rooster. These are Birds folks that are much much smaller than a human and no human should ever need or be handling them like this. I hope one day Patsy receives the same treatment. May Karma pay her a visit one day along with all the others who cannot control themselves and feel the need to physically harm animals. If you feel the need to handle your animals in any manner that involves physical aggression, then YOU DO NOT DESERVE AN ANIMAL IN YOUR CARE PERIOD! need to DO BETTER!

So excited about this! I can hardly wait to put this together and begin using it. Thank you again so very much Gerry Wells, I appreciate this beyond words. This item is going to be put to good use for sure. I will take pics and videos once it is all set up and I use this for some of the birds. Have a Very Blessed Day! Gracie send you many Coos, Purrs, and Wing Flaps and I send you a giant virtual hug.

HUGE THANK YOU to Gerry who use to be Gracies mom before she came into my care. Gerry purchased the floor magnifier with lighting for us and it should be arriving tomorrow. I will be taking pics and some videos when I use it for everyone to see. I am certain this item will get plenty of use.

EVEN EXPERIENCED PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES! On Thursday morning I had opened the cage doors for the Doves in my Bedroom so they could have some free flying time while I was cleaning their cages. Gracie came out right away and I happened to glance over and notice how incredibly long her beak was growing again. I have provided several of the birds with beak trims, probably done this a hundred times over the last 6 years and never had a problem. Anyway, something in me felt off that morning, but I just didn’t pay attention to it and shrugged it off. After cleaning the cages, I decided to work on trimming up Gracie’s beak. I snipped the top just a bit and went to snip the bottom just a bit and somehow messed up on my judgement or what I was seeing when I went to do that second snip and way over snipped. Blood was everywhere and my heart was racing. I placed gentle pressure on her beak and ran to grab the Styptic Powder. I could tell Gracie was scared and honestly, so was I. Tears were coming down my face as I continued to try and get her beak to stop bleeding. I kept apologizing and telling her how much I loved her and how incredibly sorry I was, that I didn’t mean to hurt her. That I would never hurt her. The amount of blood was very concerning. Her entire beak was turning dark red from the collection of blood. I would get it to clot and then she would shake her head and so much more would come out. It took like what felt forever (35-40 minutes) to get the bleeding to stop. I was so afraid that she was going to aspirate from the build up of blood in her beak. I was so upset and was literally yelling at myself and filled with so much anger over what I did wrong. I was even more upset that even though the bleeding had stopped and she seemed settled, I had to leave her and go to work for the day. Upon coming home 10 hours later I was so afraid that she may not be doing well at all, barely hanging on, or even worse, gone. When I saw that her beak had cleared up and she was her typical chipper self, I was singing praises for what felt like a possible miracle. In the pics the blood is all dried and I didn’t want to bother with cleaning her up and stress her out any more as she had already gone through so much stress from what I had done.

So where did I go wrong? Most importantly, whenever I FEEL OFF, I need to just wait for another time to address things like this with the Birds. This was a HUGE lesson learned. I know I am not perfect and I would never intentionally hurt any of the birds in my care, but I need to also pay better attention to my limitations in the moment. Also I didn’t have my magnifying glasses on and am finding it harder to see the little details that are so incredibly important. Lighting is key as well. If something would have happened to Gracie, I would have never forgiven myself.

We really could use a Floor Magnifying Glass with Lights to help with all of the beak, nail, and spur trimmings to help us avoid these types of incidents. I have added one to the Bird’s Amazon Wish List if anyone would like to help us out and buy this for us.

So on Tuesday evening while I was at work I suddenly felt my finger swelling and it got so bad that it felt as if my finger was going to burst. By the next morning this is what my index finger looked like. This happens at least twice a year and it will happen out of nowhere. Today my finger was back to normal thank goodness. Oh my gosh, if it isn’t one thing, it is another haha!

On a side note, check out how big my girl Marly Mae is getting. Isn’t she just Beautiful! And the newbies Phoebe and Phobos are really cute too and Phoebe continues to trick my Wyze cams into thinking the CO alarms are sounding, but it’s really just her screeching like a crazy birdie haha.

I am looking so forward to some warmer weather and less wind so I can actually take them out to the trails for a nice long ride in the sun. This was good for all of us.

Yummy foods and treats for the Conures. Here is Phoebe & Phobos who have been doing incredibly well. I took Phobos out lastnight and gave him another good snip off the tip of his beak. Next weekend I will be working on trimming all of their nails. Phoebe is still setting off the CO Alarm Detector on the Wyze Cam in the Foyer now. Her screeching is apparently very similar to the sound the CO Detector would make LOL. At least this is only happening like once every 2-4 days haha.

If you think that Roosters are the only ones that make noise and only when they Cockadoodle, so many people will be sadly mistaken. These ladies can actually get things stirred up at times and sheesh can they be LOUD about it too. My ladies Natalia (Cornish Cross) and Marly Mae (Ameraucana) can be incredibly loud. Once they all get going, it can be a bit chaotic. Forget about hearing anything on the TV or someone on the phone LOL. This is another reason why I keep Telehealth appointments for my ABA Job to a minimum.

Sunday Funday filled with some yummies for my precious . Today I chopped up (by hand) some yellow squash and zucchini squash and scrambled up their eggs for them. All the enjoyed everything. The ladies upstairs have been sharing their eggs with their friends downstairs since egg laying has been minimal for them down there. It’s as if they are going through phases lately where they will lay daily for a while and then they slow down and only lay every 2-3 days. All of them are behaving normally and I keep a close eye on them, but I also know my downstairs chickens tend to poke and break their eggs open and eat them too so there is that haha. No matter what they are getting all of the essentials and then some.

The Tannish and rough shelled egg came from my lady Jai and the Bluish-Gray one came from my lady Marly Mae. I will be keeping an eye on Jai since the shell of the egg was slightly rough. This was the first time I noticed this with any of my ladies. I don’t give them an excess amount of calcium, but definitely could become a concern if she continues to lay eggs like this one.
