The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

This is about the time they would fly.  I expect the others to start any day.

They are all so gorgeous!  I have a cockatiel named Cassie Bird....Unfortunately she has a calcium tumor on her wing, and since she is 15 I don't want to have the wing removed.  But she is doing great.  The babies are gorgeous!  Makes me want another one......They are amazing.

aww how cute reminds me of when I raised four of them, I fed them around the clock in the first few weeks. And then when they were ready to be sold (which was really hard to do to let them go) they would follow me every where around the house marching in a line. Or they would all fly and land on my head or shoulders. They are the best pets, unfortunately i had to give them up because I ended up seriously allergic to them. I loved raising them and yes even when they were a few days old I could tell them apart too. Thanks for sharing. My male cockatiel would greet me with my name when ever I came home; and he learned simple songs to whistle and sing too like Marry had a little lamb.Grin He would sing and whistle it all day it was a hoot. And he knew Little star too.

All the babies are named and still here LOL  Was there any doubt that they were leaving?  Not on my end.

Fatty, the first chick, was renamed Pepper.  I think Pepper is a girl but don't know for sure.  Dimitri, the second chick, I think is a boy.  Dimitri has become the special buddy to my 7 year old daughter.  She cuddles him and plays with him and he seems to really like her.  Pepper and Dimitri are caged together.  Reject, the third and smallest chick, has been renamed Midnight and belongs to my 14 year old son.  I am pretty sure Midnight is a girl.  Midnight adores my son and doesn't like to have much to do with Pepper or Dimitri (Midnight is caged in my son's room)

I will have to get some newer pictures of them.  They look like adult birds but everyone in the house still refers to them as the babies.
