He died while we were back visiting in California, Titus said. The friends we left him with said he wouldnt eat, and probably starved to death. He might have been sick, but I think Dickens must have thought we deserted him.

Native to Australia, the zebra finches have been imported strictly as pets, Titus said. The boy bird we got from one of my brothers friends, said Hayley Titus, 16. Then a few days later, Hayley, her sisters and older brother, Aaron, purchased the female finch for their mom for Christmas. It didn't take Elmo and Zoe long to hit it off. In fact, Zoe laid four eggs two days after being introduced to Elmo. education night is slated for Zoe and Elmo have already had their second clutch of babies. We handle the babies as much as possible. It helps them get used to being handled by people and then they are not afraid of being hand fed, said Sue Titus. People enjoy them more when the birds will let you feed them and will perch on your finger, Titus said. Their eggs look like little tiny jelly beans, Titus said. When the baby zebra finches are bom they are about the size of a thumbnail. Their beaks are microscopic and theres tiny fuzz on their head and tail. Their eyes dont open until the sixth day, she said.

But less than five minutes later Dickens landed on our back porch and started pecking on the glass door. After Titus opened the door, Dickens walked in and immediately flew up to his cage. He had a big rod iron parrots cage with bars about two inches apart so he could get in and out whenever he wanted, Titus said. Their cockateil, Clyde, could talk and even taught Dickens how to say a few phrases, Titus said. When I came into the room, they would both start squawking, Pretty Mama. We got a kick out of that. While preparing to move from California to Utah, Titus found out that birds bom at sea level wouldnt adjust well to the higher altitude in Utah.

While those who have very little in assets may be adequately covered by the minimum mandated by the state, those who have some equity worth protecting will want to make sure that they are covered on the liability end.

If art, jewelry, and other collectibles are covered separately under a homeowners policy, they may be left out of this calculation. Since some homeowners policies do limit liabilities, coverage for however, liability coverage should equal the total value of all these possessions. Do you have enough liability coverage?
