Picture from “Adweek” I have a dirty little secret. Well. It isn’t dirty; rather it’s a very clean secret. Now you all know that I’m the thrifty sort. I come from a long line of toothpaste tube squeezers, “Use the Celery Tops in Soup” makers and “You know…you wash those out and you can use [...]

Have you ever read, “Jabberwocky?” If you haven’t, it is something that is difficult to understand, but it really doesn’t need understanding. If you aren’t familiar with it, here is an absolutely incredible rendition done by Johnny Depp: For my purposes, I intend to concentrate on one line in the poem: “Beware the Jabberwock, [...]

We still don’t know what will happen to Wings Over the Rainbow Rescue. No details have been released and as far as I know, no decisions have been made. What has become very clear is that the supporters of WOTR are a scrappy and proud group. While small in number relative to many other rescues, [...]

While there has been a great deal of interest in the Wings Over the Rainbow seizure, with it came the usual storm of controversy, differences of opinion and points of view. I have seen this before when I posted the story of the Troy, Ohio birds seized last summer. While the Troy case was clearly [...]

I got a wonderful surprise when I arrived home from Caracas on Wednesday. Michael Ostrogorsky of the Northwest Parrots Fund sent me a “Bucket O’ Feathers” as well as a tidy little bag of additional unclipped wing feathers. Gorgeous! Some of you unfamiliar with one of my harebrained fund raising schemes might wonder what in God’s [...]
When Writing at Work is Fun
Posted in essays and articles, Writing, tagged Airlines, Flight Attendants, Patricia Sund, Writing reports for work on April 18, 2012 | 1 Comment »
My career in the air doesn’t always involve a lot of writing. But there are occasions when you need to write up a report about some incident or another and the powers-that be need the details. That is when I actually get quite enthusiastic about my job. Ahhh! Here is an opportunity to make a [...]
Getting Cagey

I think it’s important for bird shops and rescues that have caged birds, that those cages be showplaces. They need to be set up the way the proprietor would like to see those birds cared for. They should be clean and neat with fresh paper, clean water, various sized perches and interesting toys. The food [...]

Ewww! Seriously? Photo courtesy of Janet Hilton I’m not done. I wasn’t so much bothered by my last diatribe as I was puzzled. And I realized that I’m not finished discussing this issue. People have been so supportive and I thank you all. When I first got into learning about aviculture I thought the welfare [...]

I am floored. I just don’t understand how people don’t understand. I am not going to say, “I have no words.” because I do. As you might have noticed, Parrot Nation is Land of the Cuisinart-Home of the Chop. It is where, for lack of anything else to write about, I wrote my first [...]
