Picture from “Adweek” I have a dirty little secret. Well. It isn’t dirty; rather it’s a very clean secret. Now you all know that I’m the thrifty sort. I come from a long line of toothpaste tube squeezers, “Use the Celery Tops in Soup” makers and “You know…you wash those out and you can use [...]

Have you ever read, “Jabberwocky?” If you haven’t, it is something that is difficult to understand, but it really doesn’t need understanding. If you aren’t familiar with it, here is an absolutely incredible rendition done by Johnny Depp: For my purposes, I intend to concentrate on one line in the poem: “Beware the Jabberwock, [...]

We still don’t know what will happen to Wings Over the Rainbow Rescue. No details have been released and as far as I know, no decisions have been made.

While there has been a great deal of interest in the Wings Over the Rainbow seizure, with it came the usual storm of controversy, differences of opinion and points of view. I have seen this before when I posted the story of the Troy, Ohio birds seized last summer. While the Troy case was clearly [...]

King O at Best Friends In view of the recent seizure of the birds at Wings Over the Rainbow, it got me pondering their dire situation, how-heart breaking and frustrating it must be to be in a position where you cannot afford to move out of a building that is not supporting your needs and [...]

It’s happened again. Another seizure, another rescue in trouble. It’s easy for all of us to point fingers and make judgements. It’s wonderful to sit back with our two or three birds or whatever sized flock we can comfortably handle, proclaiming our disgust and feeling fear for the latest flock that was hauled away in [...]

I got a wonderful surprise when I arrived home from Caracas on Wednesday. Michael Ostrogorsky of the Northwest Parrots Fund sent me a “Bucket O’ Feathers” as well as a tidy little bag of additional unclipped wing feathers. Gorgeous!
