Birds need a bath or shower. No getting around it. Mine like showers but they are, shall we say, “less than animated” when they are taking a shower. Normally you see videos of birds and they’re all very loud and rambunctious. Such as these two here: Mine? Not so much as you will see here. [...]

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 [...]
Organizing My Life

It started with my laptop. I had over 5000 photos in my laptop and it needed some weeding out. They were all over the place and I had to figure out how to categorize them and put them in some order. I also had to get rid of some because they were just stupid or [...]

I went to a meeting on Thursday for work. I’m on a “Leadership Team” for my job. Once a month we have a meeting where we attempt to solve problems, innovate new ideas and try to come up with “the better mousetrap” by “thinking outside of the box.” You know, all of the usual stuff [...]
The Hatching of “Parrot Nation”

On Jun 25, 2008 at 13:45, “Parrot Nation” was hatched. I’ve gotten more reads in a day now than I had in the the first month. I had no big ideas, no real plans and no idea what I was doing. All I knew was that I was a writer and starting this blog was [...]

Yes, this is a blog primarily about birds. And I write about birds here a lot. But fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly and every once in a while, I need to eat crab. Lots of crab! That’s why this past Sunday, July 4th, I invited my friends Nan, Lisa, Steve and Randy to join [...]

I’m pretty good about cleaning up after my Greys. I have a slate stone floor so it sweeps and vacuums up fairly easily. Once I get after it with a mop and some really hot water, it looks as good as new. I use newspaper as a substrate on top of the grates, so those [...]

(I wrote this essay for Deb White, Creator of the fabulous website: “Avian Enrichment.” You can find this very large and really wonderful site here: Avian Enrichment. It’s an absolutely wonderful website with lots to read and lots to learn.) What is a “starter bird?” Is that like a “starter human?” Maybe that’s why human [...]

Maisy had settled into a routine and just to mix it up a little, I gave her a bath. She needed one with all of our ramming around outside and I had the time, so I went ahead and gave her one. She seemed to really enjoy it. She was just so calm in the [...]
