There’s been some interesting stuff going on at FaceBook: Birds who have their own Face Book Pages. I’ve seen quite a few of them and I am FB Friends with many of them. However, there is one little character I’m fascinated with: Bart Henry. Now Bart is an interesting guy: He’s an African Grey, he [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Yesterday, I had a Flight to San Juan. I had to be at the airport at eight a.m. for a nine a.m. departure. Out to San Juan, sit for a couple of hours and come back. Land about five and with the rush hour traffic, I’d be home by about 6:30 or 7:00 in time [...]

Wouldn’t this look good on my car? Ten years ago, when the Millennium rolled around, I didn’t have birds. My life was entirely different really. I was still on my first of the four total vacuum cleaners I’ve had since then, I had clean carpeting as opposed to the slate tile I have now and [...]

(photo credit: Kent Hammit) This is the photo used in my column in “Bird Talk” Magazine. The column, titled “Memo to Parker and Pepper” has now gone monthly according to an email from a “Parrot Nation” reader. This makes me very happy as I happen to like the “Memo” series and I also happen to [...]

I’d heard of Facebook but didn’t quite know what to think. I joined Facebook sometime in January from an invitation sent to me from a cyber friend. This cyber-friend actually has the same last name as me and had been searching for family members. Turn out we aren’t related, but decided we’d be “cousins” anyway. [...]

Free Flight trainer Chris Biro Shaking his tail feathers for donations…I’m helping. No, the Houston Parrot Festival isn’t all serious lectures and training sessions. Actually, we have a blast. I recommend attending the Festival if you have the time. There are vendors with all of the latest products and there are a few highly-esteemed Vets [...]
