Answer
Mano my friend!

I am so happy to hear from you. I have been wondering how you and Mithoo were doing and of course I remember you. I even remember you telling me about choori.

 You are doing a wonderful job with your birds and I am happy to hear that you are sharing your food with them. It is fine to let them have some of your eggs and your chicken bones. My birds love both as well and especially love getting the marrow from the bones.  I think I would limit the eggs to only several times a week so that your bird does not gain too much weight. The same with the chicken bones. Save both of those things for special treats and encourage your birds to eat healthy fruits and vegetables on other days.

I am so proud that you have done so well with raising and caring for these birds. I remember back to the time when you and I first started talking about you getting a bird. My thoughts and best wishes are with you. I hope you will continue to stay in touch as it is always a pleasure to hear from you.

Jan
