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 [...]

When I was a kid, my Mom would occasionally make “Franks and Beans” for dinner. She referred to them as “Teenie Weenie Beanies.” Why? I have no idea. Probably because I was about four and when she wasn’t talking to me like I was a full-blown adult, (which was most of the time…) she had [...]

I’m a bit tired today. I flew to Colombia and back yesterday, and I’ve been writing a lot. It’s a gray, rainy day; perfect for staying in. It’s also a tad blustery, but nice and cool, so I have the Greys out on the front porch. They seem to be enjoying the air and and [...]

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 [...]

(Mattie Returning From Her “Morning Constitutional”) Even on a day off, the morning routine doesn’t waver. I still have to get everyone up and get them fed. But at least I don’t have to do it at 5:30 in the morning! I take out the Parrot’s breakfast I dished up the night before… …warm up [...]

Every other day, the Keepers at the Cincinnati Zoo Bird House cut up and mix 200 pounds of fruit which fits into a plastic container the size of a small trunk. I got the extreme pleasure of mixing it. When I left work, bees were following me: Share this: StumbleUpon Digg Facebook Press This Email
The Kea Mafia

I had to clean the indoor Kea enclosure where they stay when it’s hot. In a few weeks they will be going into Lorikeet Landing for the winter. Cleaning an enclosure with 7 Keas underfoot is a challenge! But these are interesting birds and extremely intelligent parrots. You’ll notice their diet is fresh, varied and [...]

I misspoke in this video referring to the Pelicans as “Penguins.” I obviously know the difference but apparently my mouth got ahead of my brain. These are Pink Backed Pelicans and Saddle Billed Storks and Steve is giving them fish for food and enrichment: Share this: StumbleUpon Digg Facebook Press This Email
