People who have never been there, really have no idea how huge best Friends Animal Society grounds are. It’s about 3000 acres. And it borders on 30 thousand acres protected by the Bureau of Land management. But how big is that really? I shot some video as I drove off the main road from the [...]

I was at Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab, Utah when Amy alerted me that her friend Terry lost her Galah named Sasha. Best Friends has a place for our animals named “Angels Rest.” I placed a “memory stone” [...]

This is a feather pillow. What’s different about this from your usual feather pillows is that this pillow has feathers on the outside. I made this pillow from donated molted feathers from my Bird Friends all over the country and Canada. This pillow will be winging its way to the Folks at Phoenix Landing for [...]

I just got a new gig, and I’m not minding it at all. It is, after all, writing in some form, and I learn all sorts of new things. Bird Talk has a website called “Bird Channel.” It’s a big site with a lot to offer and a ton of information. One of the features [...]

Mattie and me at the Petco Festival I’m back. Back to the blog once again! My apologies for having left it untouched for so long, but I had a lot of catching up to do. As you might recall, I spent three weeks working at the Cincinnati Zoo. (Here is their Kookaburra): While I was [...]

I realize that I refer to Phoenix Landing frequently in some of my posts. Perhaps you don’t know much about them. It was established to promote and protect the welfare of parrots, especially those with an extensive lifespan.Phoenix Landing (PL) is a non-profit parrot welfare and education foundation. But they do more than just place parrots. [...]

I’d heard of Facebook but didn’t quite know what to think. I joined Facebook sometime in January from an invitation sent to me from a cyber friend. This cyber-friend actually has the same last name as me and had been searching for family members. Turn out we aren’t related, but decided we’d be “cousins” anyway. [...]

Free Flight trainer Chris Biro Shaking his tail feathers for donations…I’m helping. No, the Houston Parrot Festival isn’t all serious lectures and training sessions. Actually, we have a blast. I recommend attending the Festival if you have the time. There are vendors with all of the latest products and there are a few highly-esteemed Vets [...]
