Birds need a bath or shower. No getting around it. Mine like showers but they are, shall we say, “less than animated” when they are taking a shower. Normally you see videos of birds and they’re all very loud and rambunctious. Such as these two here: Mine? Not so much as you will see here. [...]

My friend Lisa and I shot a video demonstration of how to make “Chop.” Many of my “Bleaders,” (Blog Readers) wanted more detail on the process, so here you go! I hope you get a kick out of it and perhaps will try this way of feeding your birds. Thanks Lisa, and thanks to all [...]

This is Sam. Sam is also known as Dr. Sam Backos, Avian Vet. Sam is a really, really good Avian Vet. He knows it, and I know it but I try not to tell him for fear he’ll hike his prices! Seriously he really does a good job with my flock. I adore him and [...]

Yes, this is a blog primarily about birds. And I write about birds here a lot. But fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly and every once in a while, I need to eat crab. Lots of crab! That’s why this past Sunday, July 4th, I invited my friends Nan, Lisa, Steve and Randy to join [...]

As you might have learned from my last post, I was working a flight from Haiti to Fort Lauderdale when a 22 year-old woman decided to give birth to a baby on board the aircraft. Well! While we are trained for such a possibility, it doesn’t happen very often. But it happened to me last [...]

Maisy was around when I got the news that I had gotten the column in “BIRD TALK” Magazine. I think we danced. At the time BT didn’t know if it was going to be monthly or every other month, but the column, called “Memo to Parker and Pepper” was definitely in. I had been working [...]

I occasionally went down and got Maisy when I had a day off even though Beverly was coming home at a normal hour. Maisy seemed to like going out for a bit and Mattie seemed to enjoy having her round as well. I was flying a lot that month, about 105 hours and I had [...]

This is the #2 of the series, “Letters From Maisy.” Maisy’s character and voice continued to develop as I spent more time with her. When she first started staying with me a few days a week while Beverly was at class, she was on a very high fiber diet which made her “elimination rate” go [...]

This is Maisy. I had the privilege of looking after Maisy a few days a week for about a year before she passed away a year ago this past December. The post about her passing is here: “A Sad Day.” During that time, I got to know this old girl and she was stately, funny, [...]
