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 [...]

I’ve been thinking about the culture of aviculture. Not just about what it is that we do to keep birds in our homes and our lives, but how it effects us as a community. It is a specialized world, probably not unlike people who are interested in religion, or insects or  trains. We have a [...]

I occasionally went down and got Maisy when I had a day off even though Beverly was coming home at a normal hour.  Maisy seemed to like going out for a bit and Mattie seemed to enjoy having her round as well. I was flying a lot that month, about 105 hours and I had [...]

I occasionally feed my Greys leftovers from my lunches and dinners. Among the things they get are extra vegetables, rice, noodles, pasta and sometimes I’ll even sneak them a piece of toast from breakfast. I like rye toast. Sometimes I put peanut butter, almond butter or some sort of berry preserves on my rye toast. [...]

When I was a kid, my Mom would occasionally make “Franks and Beans” for dinner. She referred to them as “Teenie Weenie Beanies.” Why? I have no idea. Probably because I was about four and when she wasn’t talking to me like I was a full-blown adult, (which was most of the time…) she had [...]

Wouldn’t this look good on my car? Ten years ago, when the Millennium rolled around, I didn’t have birds. My life was entirely different really. I was still on my first of the four total vacuum cleaners I’ve had since then, I had clean carpeting as opposed to the slate tile I have now and [...]

You might understand I have a lot going on. I fly about 25 hours of overtime a month. Obviously, I have parrots, (Which feels like another full time job. And if you’re doing it right, it is.) and my dog Mattie which is the least of my problems. I write for BIRD TALK Magazine, I [...]

(Mattie Returning From Her “Morning Constitutional”) Even on a day off, the morning routine doesn’t waver. I still have to get everyone up and get them fed. But at least I don’t have to do it at 5:30 in the morning! I take out the Parrot’s breakfast I dished up the night before… …warm up [...]

I just got my new tiffins and man they are lookers! Purchased from “The Happy Tiffin,” these tiffins are beautiful, functional and fun to use.  The blue tiffin on the top is a two-tier tiffin (5.0″L x 5.0″W x 4.8″H) and is perfect for all the little fussy things I like to carry with me: [...]
