Steve the Aviculture Supervisor of the Bird House did the “Morning Outside Rounds” and I tagged along and attempted to help. Here is Steve feeding some Red Crowned Cranes and Bar Headed Geese. Some Mallards stopped by as well. His aim is better than mine…

I had to clean the indoor Kea enclosure where they stay when it’s hot. In a few weeks they will be going into Lorikeet Landing for the winter. Cleaning an enclosure with 7 Keas underfoot is a challenge! But these are interesting birds and extremely intelligent parrots. You’ll notice their diet is fresh, varied and [...]

I’m back at the Cincinnati Zoo and settled into Steve and Carol’s Fabulous stone cottage. It reminds me of the house Jackson Pollock and his wife rented out in Long Island right before he became the “new rising artist” of the 20th century. I had an 18 hour day getting here…I had to get up [...]

One of my Favorite songs is by Peter Townsend and Ronnie Lane from an album titled “Rough Mix”. It’s called “Street in the City” and it reminds me of the frenetic activity that occurs in the Bird House behind the scenes every day trying to get all of the birds on their street and in [...]
