Got this Here! As you might remember, I had proposed having a church for our parrots. And of course, the first thing I considered was what to call it. As this is going to be a multi-congregational church that embodies all faiths, I haven’t come up with a solid name. Yet. But with the help [...]

Like this photo, I felt like nothing was really going on. But then again… I realize that in my last post, I said that nothing was really happening around here and then proceeded to tell you about a day in my life that was fraught with gum, ink and poop. Well, Sunday was rather interesting. [...]

I sometimes end up with nothing to write about. Because if nothing really interesting happens or if my tired, woozy brain just decides to go on test pattern mode, then I am a little short on conversation. I suppose there’s quite a bit I could discuss here, such as the fact that on my return flight [...]

They have their own Facebook page!: Flippin It’s been said that one should never discuss religion or politics. This is probably a prudent thing to do and easy to accomplish unless you happen to live in a convent or you’re a politician. In those cases, I suppose it would be a little difficult to avoid. [...]
Laughing All The Way

I found this little dude at: Sodahead At times we are faced with many challenges. Having birds in your life is an acquired taste. And if you are like most bird people, we have the “Lays Potato Chip” taste in parrots: “Betcha can’t have just one!” With that comes a lot of work, training, reading [...]

Photo courtesy of Kent Hammit…the guy the took the best photo of me…ever. As you can imagine, Parker has his own way of looking at the world. He’s fairly strong-willed and he’s pretty damned clear about the way he wants the world to go. This is entirely my doing. I raised the little sucker to [...]

I’ve written about “The Tribe” before, or as I tend to call it, “The Parrot Nation.” Thomas Friedman wrote about it in his book, The World is Flat, essentially making the point that the world is evolving into a level playing field in terms of communication, ideas and commerce. I essentially pointed out in my essay [...]

I don’t know what’s worse, having other people underestimate you or underestimating yourself. Both kind of blow. Sometimes you underestimate yourself, yet you find that you could indeed do whatever it was that you didn’t think you could do. That’s very uplifting and a hell of a confidence builder. Having had other people underestimate your [...]

While there are millions of people who care for birds worldwide, the bird world is actually a fairly small community in the United States. And with the magnification and amplification abilities of the internet, the proliferation of social media, and search engines making good information within the reach of a single click, more and more [...]

See image source here: Island Crisis One of the things you must deal with when you have a blog is Spam. In my case it’s pretty clear cut. Word Press, the platform on which I produce my blog has this handy little program named Askimet that filters out what it believes are crap comments that [...]
