While there are millions of people who care for birds worldwide, the bird world is actually a fairly small community in the United States. And with the magnification and amplification abilities of the internet, the proliferation of social media, and search engines making good information within the reach of a single click, more and more [...]

I was doing my usual day off shenanigans. You know; laundry, washing the floor, replacing the substrate papers in the Greys’ cages, messing around with throwing out paperwork and trying to make sense of what was under the kitchen sink when the phone rang. Always eager for a chance to sit down, (although when I [...]

As you can see, I’ve been a little busy.

I got dragged into a Wal Mart once and because I refuse to spend money there, I tried this hat on and took photos of pink stuff. I HATE pink stuff. I’m not a big shopper. I dislike it because I’m not a browser. I don’t like going to stores just to see what they [...]
Life With Parrots: Your Own Reality Show?

If you look at reality shows these days, it’s enough to make you scream. The “Housewives” franchise, “Big Brother,” which I’ve never seen, “The Rachel Zoe Project,” which I saw five minutes of, “The Bachelor,” “The Bachelorette,” “Fear Factor,” are all reality shows I had absolutely no interest in. They all come off as highly [...]
Gourmet Taste? Not Always…

My Greek Salad To-Go If you’ve seen my Facebook wall, or hung around here for any length of time, you might have figured out that I love good food. Because of this predilection, I essentially was forced to learn to cook fairly well at a fairly early age. Going out to restaurants is expensive and [...]

When I was a kid, one of the things I wanted to be was a cartoonist. This, along with wanting to be an actress, dancer, broadway performer, television commercial director, lawyer and writer. (My father always said to me, “Kid, with your mouth, you ought to become an attorney.”) Well, I got a few of [...]

See image source here: Island Crisis One of the things you must deal with when you have a blog is Spam. In my case it’s pretty clear cut. Word Press, the platform on which I produce my blog has this handy little program named Askimet that filters out what it believes are crap comments that [...]
