This is Larry. He gets to build and clean cages and aviaries and all the stuff that isn’t a whole lot of fun. Oh and yes don’t forget he gets to do a lot of the night-time feedings too. He’s not complaining though, he really loves it. Larry is an active member of the Gold Country Bird Society in Placerville. Larry has been raising birds in one form or another for quite a few years now, he is an expert on incubating and hatching eggs, he has a really good success rate. He is also excellent at assisted hatches, currently holding an almost 100% success rate on hatches. On the right he’s holding a hummingbird he rescued from a spider web.

This is Janet. She sometimes feels as if she was born with a handfeeding syringe in her hand. She is the resident baby feeder. She finally got her kids into school and then decided to deluge herself with hundreds more. She’s not complaining either, she thrives on it. Janet has been raising birds since she was 10 years old, she has been raising them by hand for over 15 years now. She still falls in love with every single one of them, but that’s okay, that’s why they turn out to be such lovable birds. They thrive on the love. She is also good at sleeping through night-time feedings, then poor Larry has to do them. Janet is also the Editor of the Gold Country Bird Society monthly newsletter and was a judge in the 4-H Caged Bird Club and the Placerville County Fair.
