And when [...]

2.15.08 Dear Mom, My “paw-writing” is getting a little better don’t you think? Lady has been working with me on all kinds of things: like my paw writing, staying put at her side when we go downstairs, and not dumping over the trash can, no matter what. I’m getting pretty good at that. Today we [...]

Mattie needs a grooming! I always have stuff to do on my days off from flying. Saturday was my day of getting Mattie the dog groomed. I take her to my local big box store because Danielle is a fabulous groomer and manages to get Mattie cleaned up without getting her hand taken off. Mattie [...]

My birds are travelers. They enjoy going on”walkabouts” around our home. Occasionally, I have to do a” beak count” to make sure I have them accounted for. I’d do a roll call, but Parker is stubborn and keeps mum if he’s out checking out the back forty. Once in a while, one goes missing. I [...]

(Well, I thought it was a great shot…) The Houston Parrot Festival: What an amazing Festival! A great speaker line up, combined with an incredible array of products from some cutting edge vendors offering the best products made this year’s festival a joy.

I just got an Email from Jason Crean, who I met at the Rocky Mountain Society of Aviculture in Denver… in November. (I love the sound of that…) Jason has this really great product he loves: it’s tea for your bird. (More on that in another post!) Anyway, he has this very neat website: http://www.beaksbirdhouse.com/index2.html [...]

WHAT’S THE POINT? By Patricia Sund Having a parrot in your life is a puzzling existence. I suppose you could agree with the idea that they provide companionship just as a dog or a cat does, but why in God’s name a parrot? Where did we ever get the idea that having a parrot would [...]
“Shut Up!”

I found this unbelievable ad on “Youtube.” I was surprised because I thought I’d seen most of the ads out there employing birds in their work, but this one is clever and stupid at the same time. It’s for a company called “White Smoke” which as far as I can ascertain, is a company that [...]

Parker knows how to play! I’m a lucky parrot person. Parker knows how to play with cheap stuff: like paper plates. In this footage, I caught about the last two minutes of about FORTY minutes of Parker messing around with a simple white paper plate. (Forgive the shaky video, I had just gotten the [...]
