Not Your Average “Parrot Person” Photo… Shari Mirojnick has kindly allowed me to add her to the group of people I’ve interviewed in a rather unusual fashion I call, “Finish the Sentence.” I give the subject the beginning of ten sentences and they may finish them anyway they want. It’s tougher than it looks. A [...]

“Ich bin ein jelly doughnut.” I like the idea of having a manifesto: manifesto |ˌmanəˈfestō| noun ( pl. -tos) a public declaration of policy and aims, esp. one issued before an election by a political party or candidate. ORIGIN mid 17th cent.: from Italian, from manifestare, from Latin, ‘make public,’ from manifestus ‘obvious.’ It just [...]

Curl-Crested Aracari You’ve chosen to keep birds. By choosing to keep birds, you have chosen a way of life. Not just a lifestyle, but you have managed to select a lot in life that somewhat compromises your choices and courses of action. In some ways this is grounding. It gives you a direction, a purpose and [...]

“Less Work For Mother” I’ve always liked that phrase. The first time I ever saw it used tongue-in-cheek was by the writer and now director and producer, Nora Ephron. She wrote a very witty book back in the 70’s titled Crazy Salad. Ephron called her book Crazy Salad, I think because it was a series [...]

I’m all for efficiency. The trick isn’t knowing how to feed your parrots well. The trick is how to get the damned food into your birds. And I’m not talking about actually making the food. Look, most of us are running at breakneck speed. It’s tougher to make a living, employers are cutting back on their [...]

Luxury Aracari (Photo by Lynne Scott Watts) Most birds are a luxury companion animal. They’re usually expensive. (If you don’t get one for free or at little cost in an adoption situation.) They’re pretty expensive to keep. (If you don’t know how to make toys for them and make your own food for them.) And [...]

Jacque Johnson, Parrot Garden Manager at Best Friends I did a rather unusual interview with Bird Lovers Only Founder, Irena Schulz a few weeks ago. I sent her a series of phrases that were the beginning of a statement. All she had to do was finish the sentence. Irena was a trooper and despite the [...]

Have you ever met a person who just isn’t cut out to be a bird person? You know what I’m talking about. We’ve all met them. They have no business having a parrot in their home. You know this in your bones and can feel that understanding in the deepest darkest reaches of your soul. [...]

Photo Courtesy of My Friend Kent Hammit Well, it’s almost here. Yup, it’s almost time for Parker to swing into full-tilt “Screaming Little Hellion” mode. I can’t wait for it to be over. Why is breeding season always so painful? Well, I’ll tell you why it’s painful to me. It’s because Parker makes my ears [...]
