Chicks

For Biniyams birthday we got 2 chicks from Gitega, Bini named his Pickely and Mekdes and I named ours Hazel.
 We had them for almost one day when we left them outside for a few seconds and we herd Pickely chirping outside, we went to see what was wrong and we couldn't find Hazel, the guards told us that she was taken by a bird. We don't know if it was a crow or an owl or a halk but she's gone. After a few days without Hazel, Pickely started to get lonely because chicks are very interactive creatures. Eric was going to Gitega so Mom tagged along and went to the market to get 2 more chicks, one was for Anna and one was for us. We named ours Amber and Anna named hers Boo. We found out that they eat grasshoppers as snacks and like to eat the skin of the milk also. We taught Pickely to chase us while we hold the grasshoppers and to jump for them. 
They're so, so cute!


This is Pickely Picklejuice Pickle, that's what Bini named him.
