Confessions of a Crazy Parrot Person: The Balance

http://confessionsofacrazyparrotperson.blogspot.com/2012/02/balance.html

Tuesday, February 14, 2012. Okay, let me first say this—not all bird breeders are evil! Second, not all rescues are wonderful, and third—weigh the facts and needs out and make a rational, informed decision. Meals with spoons instead of forks, and receiving 10,000 volts to the temple. Lets be fair and realistic, bird breeders and sanctuaries/rescues have to learn to coexist, you can think what you want, but enough of this demoralizing public behavior, it’s time for all to grow up! If I was a parent and my...

Confessions of a Crazy Parrot Person: October 2011

http://confessionsofacrazyparrotperson.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, October 26, 2011. A Call for Action. Do we even consider rehabs and try to place these birds in their native habitats? It may be a serious alternative… Ahhhhh… perhaps we should look at this? With so many species we consider pets on CITES, perhaps we should consider rehabbing with hopes of returning these birds into the wild. Is that far-fetched? What would such an undertaking require? Who would participate and oversee the movement? In closing; where do we start? Thursday, October 6, 2011.

Confessions of a Crazy Parrot Person: November 2011

http://confessionsofacrazyparrotperson.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, November 22, 2011. Saturday, November 22, 2008 Maggie (then Venus) left Arizona in the morning and arrived in Illinois by afternoon. Joel and I drove to Ohare Airport, my heart was racing, my hands were sweaty, and the tears were welling up, all the while I was wondering what the future would hold for us and how this soul would become a part of our family.

Confessions of a Crazy Parrot Person: July 2012

http://confessionsofacrazyparrotperson.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 19, 2012. Okay, so many have been mourning the loss of BirdTalk magazine and I have been sorta keeping my mouth shut, perhaps I need to vent and finally give my perspective. I remember when BT began (Yep! I’m showing my age! But I learned to read at 2. :-) ), it was ground-breaking, I couldn’t wait to read the issues and would race with anticipation to the bookstore, pet store, etc. to get the newest copy, at last a color magazine for the bird-lover! Tuesday, July 10, 2012. Late December o...

Confessions of a Crazy Parrot Person: Look, Listen, and Learn...

http://confessionsofacrazyparrotperson.blogspot.com/2012/05/look-listen-and-learn.html

Saturday, May 19, 2012. Look, Listen, and Learn. Wings Over the Rainbow—need I say more? Aviculture has seen rocks thrown many times but when do we stop and address the whole picture? When do we realize the problem, put the stones down, and help all those that are in need? When do we start trying to heal the issues and not say “Nope! I would never do that! 8221; and say “Yes, it happened; what are we going to do to fix the whole picture? Am I defending WOTR? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I have bee...

Confessions of a Crazy Parrot Person: Bird Cookbooks? Huh? I just buy Hartz Bird Seed!!!

http://confessionsofacrazyparrotperson.blogspot.com/2012/03/bird-cookbooks-huh-i-just-buy-hartz.html

Sunday, March 4, 2012. I just buy Hartz Bird Seed! In our quest to find balanced nutrition we as companion humans for our parrots go through many trials and tribulations and some can be quite extreme, the avian educated strive to find that perfect balance of protein, fats, carbs, fiber, vitamins, etc. and we often feed our parrot better food than we feed ourselves—heck, who does't enjoy an occasional Macdonalds, Wendy's, KFC or White Castle? Well maybe just one bite but. Again, I digress. The third.w...

Confessions of a Crazy Parrot Person: April 2011

http://confessionsofacrazyparrotperson.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 19, 2011. Today I let Blaze spend time at my desk with me and it was awesome! Sunday, April 17, 2011. First of all, kudos to Jason Crean, TASC members, lecturers, and all those that participated in assuring the show ran beautifully—you did a great job and best of all, most of you did it with a smile which was amazing! Now for the interesting points… To those vendors who had the balls to raise your prices by 30% or more—shame on you and bite me! I also wish more rescues made a known presenc...

Sunday, June 5, 2011. Bella Embroidery and Tracy Hylka. A dear friend of mine runs/owns Bella Embroidery, Tracy Hylka. Tracy and I have known each other for years and I love her work, infact, I usually wear her caps because she always comes up with something I have to have, this is no exception. This has already become one of my prized possessions! Bella Embroidery can be found on Facebook and I cannot recommend her work enough, she is a great friend! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Confessions of a Crazy Parrot Person: Farewell 2011

http://confessionsofacrazyparrotperson.blogspot.com/2011/12/farewell-2011.html

Saturday, December 31, 2011. Farewell 2011, you were a very confusing year with a lot of highs and a lot of lows, and for the most part, I will not miss you. 2011 was a year that for the most part I would love to put far, far behind me and I think I share that sentiment with many, the world became a more turbulent place and we lost many great minds. My wish for 2012? December 31, 2011 at 12:50 PM. December 31, 2011 at 8:42 PM. Blessings to you and yours Bob and may 2012 be kinder to us all. I have been a...
