I did a “quick and dirty” version of my cooked bean mix for my birds. I wanted to make them today and I had to go to the store for beans so rather than soak them overnight, I did a “fast cook” version of my usual method, drained and rinsed them and then added the [...]

Bird People like seeing other people’s birds doing stuff. Dancing, singing, talking, anything that involves birds, especially parrots doing the charming, the funny or the out-and-out amazing. Many of these videos have gone viral on Youtube, causing these birds to be Facebook “water cooler” talk and usually landing the Caregiver on “Letterman,” “Ellen,” or any [...]

You’ll see these at most any bird-related festival, expo, conference, meeting, bird club get-together, or seminar. It’s usually their favorite species, or one they they happen to have parked in their living room, bird room, or the one currently sitting on their shoulder, discreetly crapping down their back. And for the uninitiated, please don’t tell [...]

There is a blog out in cyberspace called “Stuff White People Like.” No need to be uncomfortable, it is indeed a real blog right here on WordPress, but I don’t write the thing. However, being a Caucasian from the Midwest, there are, umm, certain items that we supposedly like; such as the TV series, “Mad Men,” [...]

This is my friend Shari. Shari is an extraordinary individual in the field of birds. She has a plethora of Greys, (I guess a plethora in this case would be seven.) that she takes exquisite care of and is truly a “Grey Person.” She has taught me more about Greys and birds in general from her [...]

Rescued and Adopted. About a year ago, I did a presentation at the Rocky Mountain Society of Aviculture about getting the word out about your club, rescue, agenda, your work, your product; whatever it was that you were promoting. It was a pretty solid presentation about “branding” your organization and lifting your profile. And unlike [...]

Dear Best Friends Parrot Garden Staff, Thank you so much for everything. I wish I could say I was lousy with words because I’m not. But this is a case where words simply aren’t enough. I hope this says more about my trip to Best Friends and my time with you than a thousand words [...]

African Greys have a very lofty reputation. They are considered to be not only one of the best communicators in the animal kingdom, but one of the most intelligent. The majority of them either talk their little feathered noggins off or they are busy attempting to get you to pick up the telephone when no [...]
