I don’t know what’s worse, having other people underestimate you or underestimating yourself. Both kind of blow. Sometimes you underestimate yourself, yet you find that you could indeed do whatever it was that you didn’t think you could do. That’s very uplifting and a hell of a confidence builder. Having had other people underestimate your [...]

Making Money Not Having to Lift Things

You know, you’d think writing would be a pretty cushy job. Not unlike looking at having parrots from the “non-parrot” perspective, that is people who never had a parrot will look at having a parrot in your life and think it would be easy. People who look at writing and don’t do it on a [...]

My incredibly good friend Lynn and I on the jumpseat headed for Caracas Oy! I’ve been meaning to post again for a week now, but I’ve had my hands full. I’ve been doing a lot of flying. It’s all been out of Miami Airport so the drive is kicking my keester. It’s been fun flying [...]

Over the years, I have tried different types of bird supplements for my birds. I think it’s smart to add a vitamin supplement to a bird’s diet. Even though my Greys have a very nutritious daily menu, I still sprinkle their food with a vitamin supplement a couple of times a week. I do it [...]
The Parrot Nation Manifesto

“Ich bin ein jelly doughnut.” I like the idea of having a manifesto: manifesto |ˌmanəˈfestō| noun ( pl. -tos) a public declaration of policy and aims, esp. one issued before an election by a political party or candidate. ORIGIN mid 17th cent.: from Italian, from manifestare, from Latin, ‘make public,’ from manifestus ‘obvious.’ It just [...]

What Kangaroo? I’ve gotten to know a few people in the field of aviculture over the years. Dr. Scott Echols is one of them. He’s an avian veterinarian and his bio reads like he’s been practicing since he was about eight years old because he looks about eighteen. He lives in Austin, Texas with his [...]
Your Birds Are Your Office

I found Cindy Here I remember someone referring to Cindy Crawford in either an interview or a written piece. The writer conjectured that the reason Cindy was such a successful model and lasted so long in the business was because “Cindy knew her body was her office.” In other words, her body was her business [...]

Curl-Crested Aracari You’ve chosen to keep birds. By choosing to keep birds, you have chosen a way of life. Not just a lifestyle, but you have managed to select a lot in life that somewhat compromises your choices and courses of action. In some ways this is grounding. It gives you a direction, a purpose and [...]
Efficiency Expert

I’m all for efficiency. The trick isn’t knowing how to feed your parrots well. The trick is how to get the damned food into your birds. And I’m not talking about actually making the food. Look, most of us are running at breakneck speed. It’s tougher to make a living, employers are cutting back on their [...]
