Birds need a bath or shower. No getting around it. Mine like showers but they are, shall we say, “less than animated” when they are taking a shower. Normally you see videos of birds and they’re all very loud and rambunctious. Such as these two here: Mine? Not so much as you will see here. [...]

My friend Lisa and I shot a video demonstration of how to make “Chop.” Many of my “Bleaders,” (Blog Readers) wanted more detail on the process, so here you go! I hope you get a kick out of it and perhaps will try this way of feeding your birds. Thanks Lisa, and thanks to all [...]

This is Sam. Sam is also known as Dr. Sam Backos, Avian Vet. Sam is a really, really good Avian Vet. He knows it, and I know it but I try not to tell him for fear he’ll hike his prices! Seriously he really does a good job with my flock. I adore him and [...]
Organizing My Life

It started with my laptop. I had over 5000 photos in my laptop and it needed some weeding out. They were all over the place and I had to figure out how to categorize them and put them in some order. I also had to get rid of some because they were just stupid or [...]

I went to a meeting on Thursday for work. I’m on a “Leadership Team” for my job. Once a month we have a meeting where we attempt to solve problems, innovate new ideas and try to come up with “the better mousetrap” by “thinking outside of the box.” You know, all of the usual stuff [...]

I’m pretty good about cleaning up after my Greys. I have a slate stone floor so it sweeps and vacuums up fairly easily. Once I get after it with a mop and some really hot water, it looks as good as new. I use newspaper as a substrate on top of the grates, so those [...]

As you might have learned from my last post, I was working a flight from Haiti to Fort Lauderdale when a 22 year-old woman decided to give birth to a baby on board the aircraft. Well! While we are trained for such a possibility, it doesn’t happen very often. But it happened to me last [...]

I’m sorry about the lag time between posts but I’ve been a little busy: Last Friday, a woman decided to go into labor and have her baby on the flight I was working. Naturally this set me back a bit. Reports, a meeting, phone calls, you name it! So I am WAY behind on everything. [...]

I wrote this piece last year as an entry into a writing contest that posed the question, “When did you first realize that you had become a grown-up?” Obviously it didn’t win because if it had, you’d have known about it. For those of you who don’t know, I am an International Flight Attendant when [...]
