I got the nicest surprise the other day that was almost as gratifying as watching my Greys suck down about a pound of “Chop” right after I make it:
I was zipping through my email while simultaneously slurping down coffee and putting on makeup for work when I came across this email:
blog: Parrot Nation
Your blog on [...]

My neighbor Sheila stopped by yesterday. She occasionally helps me out around the house when I get so overwhelmed with things, I can’t keep up. If it wasn’t for her I’d never get through my “Job+Job+Job” situation. She and her best guy, Jon are also kind enough to look after the birds when I have [...]

A lot of people “know” about Ecuador. This means they’ve read about it, or saw it in Geography class. I was in the same boat before I actually flew there. About all I remembered was that it was mountainous, the Equator ran through it, and they had a lot of Llamas.
I got the trip many [...]

I’m in dire need of a haircut. I hate getting my hair cut because it’s boring. I cut all of my hair off about 1995 because I’d had it up to about here with messing with it. Now I’m so glad I did because with my dog, my “Dudes,” (parrots) and my job + job + [...]

I vaguely remember why I began this blog. I was going to go to the Cincinnati Zoo to work as a “Guest Keeper” and I was writing about working at a zoo for my book in progress called you-know-what. (Yes, it’s called Parrot Nation.)
I was going to be gone for three weeks and I thought [...]

I don’t mind vacuuming. Really I don’t. I just didn’t know it would be a full-time career. I have a good vacuum cleaner and it’s rather soothing to be able to run my Dyson vacuum cleaner around the floor and pick up all of the crap my birds felt like tossing around that day. I [...]

I’m in Caracas and will be leaving shortly. I had a long day yesterday, flying from Philadephia to San Juan and on to Caracas. Above is a photo of my hotel room. Here’s another view:
And here is the crushingly gorgeous view outside my window. The Hotel is five minutes from the Airport terminal, and it’s [...]

I found this fabulous ceramic thing as the Reading Terminal Market. I loved it. I wanted it. It was 189 dollars. I didn’t get it. But I named her “Tempest” just the same, as in “Tempest in a Teapot.” I spent the day at the Reading Terminal Market because it was just so much fun. [...]

I’m a bit tired today. I flew to Colombia and back yesterday, and I’ve been writing a lot. It’s a gray, rainy day; perfect for staying in. It’s also a tad blustery, but nice and cool, so I have the Greys out on the front porch. They seem to be enjoying the air and and [...]

I live in Florida so I’m not referring to shoveling snow, nor am I the proud owner of a herd of cows that needs occasional upkeep. I have shoveled cow manure, but that’s another story. The precipitation we get is liquid, and a LOT of it at times.
I’m referring to cleaning Parker’s cage. Please bear [...]
