Grainy photo, but you get the point. What is fine dining to a parrot? No, this is not a rhetorical question. I’m really asking. I think fine dining for a parrot is, or should be something that is not only good for them, but is fun for them as well. Now Parker’s idea of fine dining [...]

Parker with his Girlfriend, Maria If you have parrots or birds of any sort, you probably know by now that it is not for the weak. I’m sure the uninitiated most likely think that keeping birds is a delicate hobby, not unlike growing orchids, or stuffing ships inside bottles. Au Contraire! I am constantly getting [...]
Parrot-Teacher Conference

I remember “Parent-Teacher” Conferences. My parents would dutifully dress up and go to my school to meet with my teacher of that year. Back then, it was a suit for my Father and a nice poly-blend shift for my Mother with panty hose, heels and some good costume jewelry which was high fashion at the [...]

Pamela Carter’s Bird “Parker” I am sooo guilty of this! When Parker was a baby, I was shooting photos of him every time he so much as sprouted a new feather or even blinked. In my own defense, I knew that when he matured, he was going to look precisely the same or the rest [...]

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 [...]

Quito, Ecuador One of the things about flying for an Airline, is that you never know what’s going to happen next. I was contentedly flying to Haiti, month after month out of Fort Lauderdale when the earthquake hit. We stopped service and I was thrust into the wake vortex that is known as “Availability.” This [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
