MEC BANDING
May 23, 2024 - Mississauga - Executive Centre
Cathy Kerr Reports:
Lovely day for MEC banding (Mississauga Executive Centre)… It’s 3 girls and a boy for Midnight and Renegade!!
We headed up to the roof where the swing stage, provided by Skyreach (many thanks!) was waiting and Jay the operator, who has been helping out for many years. And so was Midnight! She hung around us the whole time, quite chill, watching us. The kids were on the balcony and she kept checking on them. Once the stage started down, she hustled them in the box and in she went too. And never left until the kids were back! John got them out and safely in the bag, Lucie and I hauled them up and into the building to get their bling. Thanks to Lucie for overcoming her fear of heights to help me out(and we got to see Midnight up close… A thrill)
Eva did a great job of banding these 4 very vocal, fiesty (VERY fiesty) chicks. Thank you again Eva!
We were joined by the daycare kids at the end and they were thrilled see Cooper get banded. So cute, one child said that they were chickens lol and another owls (a Raptor at least).. Adorable.
Then it was time to get them home to their mom. John quickly put them back and done! Another great job John.
Dad finally showed up and we can confirm no bands… Looks like Renegade still reigns!
