“All you have to do is live.” That’s a quote by David Sedaris, one of my favorite authors. He was talking about being able to find material to write about. I happen to love his writing style and he inspires me to no end. He and I are a lot alike in that we write [...]

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. The precipitation we get is liquid, and a LOT of it at times. I’m referring to cleaning Parker’s cage. Please [...]

I just got an Email from Jason Crean, who I met at the Rocky Mountain Society of Aviculture in Denver… in November. (I love the sound of that…) Jason has this really great product he loves: it’s tea for your bird. (More on that in another post!)
