I remember “Parent-Teacher” Conferences. My parents would dutifully dress up and go to my school to meet with my teacher of that year.

Pamela Carter’s Bird “Parker” I am sooo guilty of this! When Parker was a baby, I was shooting photos of him every time he so much as sprouted a new feather or even blinked. In my own defense, I knew that when he matured, he was going to look precisely the same or the rest [...]

This is my friend Shari. Shari is an extraordinary individual in the field of birds. She has a plethora of Greys, (I guess a plethora in this case would be seven.) that she takes exquisite care of and is truly a “Grey Person.” She has taught me more about Greys and birds in general from her [...]

African Greys have a very lofty reputation. They are considered to be not only one of the best communicators in the animal kingdom, but one of the most intelligent. The majority of them either talk their little feathered noggins off or they are busy attempting to get you to pick up the telephone when no [...]

I’ve shot quite a bit of video in my adventures in the bird world, with more to come. Of course, when you work with animals and people, a lot of it ended up on the “cutting room floor” so to speak. But some of those clips had some value when you took them out of [...]
