I live in Florida so I’m not referring to shoveling snow, nor am I the proud owner of a herd of cows that needs occasional upkeep. I have shoveled cow manure, but that’s another story.

(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 [...]

I’m being interviewed Sunday night at 9 p.m. Eastern Time on a Webcast at: “Ask the Bird Experts” Here’s the link: tp://www.ezleadcapture.com/member/thebirdtalks1.htm And they want me to talk about my “Chop” recipe.

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 [...]
