Guam, a Lesson in Conservation Errors

Recently a friend who came to speak at my bird club mentioned that all the birds on the island of Guam were now extinct there. I had no idea. I am stunned and worried and basically wishing I could have done something to stop this from happening. Of course, I could not. It’s just something that happened.

Bless You, Amazon!

My husband and I order many things from Amazon, from DVDs to clothes to bird stuff to things I won’t talk about on this blog. As a result, we end up with a pile of empty, clean, used once cardboard boxes. Of many and varied sizes. And sometimes wonderful brown paper used as a packing material.

Parrots Just Want to Have Fun

You know your bird, especially if you have only one or two that interact with you. Like a beloved child, you know the bird’s favorite foods, most interesting toys, and need for interaction with you. But if you are a first-time bird prospective owner, you can get a head start by knowing exactly what your bird is going to want from you.

Loss and Violation

I had planned to write a few scenarios that would show you how weird my birds can be. In fact, my husband always says that if the birds aren’t a little crazy, they go somewhere else. You don’t have to be crazy to live with me but you will fit in better. This even applies to my husband and our dog.
