Not Your Average “Parrot Person” Photo… Shari Mirojnick has kindly allowed me to add her to the group of people I’ve interviewed in a rather unusual fashion I call, “Finish the Sentence.” I give the subject the beginning of ten sentences and they may finish them anyway they want. It’s tougher than it looks. A [...]

Why am I such a freak about diet? Well, let me explain something. You can take your bird to the Vet 90 times a year, but until you make sure their diet is healthy, no Vet is going to be able to do a thing. And it always comes down to the same thing, doesn’t [...]

Looks like Parker and Nyla want to join the “Occupy Wall Street” movement. Of course they had to do it in their own way, but occasionally, even parrots must take a stand. Even if it is on a T-Stand:
Gourmet Taste? Not Always…

My Greek Salad To-Go If you’ve seen my Facebook wall, or hung around here for any length of time, you might have figured out that I love good food. Because of this predilection, I essentially was forced to learn to cook fairly well at a fairly early age. Going out to restaurants is expensive and [...]

When I was a kid, one of the things I wanted to be was a cartoonist. This, along with wanting to be an actress, dancer, broadway performer, television commercial director, lawyer and writer. (My father always said to me, “Kid, with your mouth, you ought to become an attorney.”) Well, I got a few of [...]

A friend emailed me a while back and asked me for some book recommendations about parrots. He was asking me about a book that had been published in 1999 and did I think it was any good. Hmmm. Well, here’s the deal on that. I could neither recommend it or not because I’d never read [...]

Dear Mr. Jobs, I couldn’t help but notice you have left us. Trust me, nobody on the planet missed the news. I am bereft about your exit. I simply cannot express how important your work, your designs and your company have become to me. I am a professional writer, a blogger and I use the [...]

Best Friends Animal Society recently uploaded a video on Youtube featuring my friend Wendy, a caregiver at the BF Parrot Garden. It is a beautiful video and makes some clear-cut statements about their take on the state of the parrot population: ************ ****** ** ****** *** *
Play Gyms For Parrots: A Necessity?

For years I’ve had play gyms for my birds. I like the concept of my birds being out of their “roosts” during the day when I am home to supervise them. I’ll explain why further down in the post. Now, just to set the record straight, I don’t do any “willy-nilly endorsing.” If I like [...]
