From under the cage cover…I hear a crunching sound. Termites? No, Maji is crunching on a block of balsa wood. Busy happy boy. Good morning termite!

July day by the turtle pond. Crawford listens intently to the wild birds. The breezes seem to stir him. There’s still some wildness in this old man. Blind but not unaware.

This little grey girl bird is named Captain. She is 29 and quite delighted to eat my special bird muffins! Her feather issues are somewhat alarming however perhaps we can work on that. After all, my Maji was down to one tail feather and now he’s pretty darn handsome! Miracles do happen.

Listen closely and you’ll hear Ricky’s purr of contentment.

Ricky seems to love having a bowl of interesting foot toys to investigate. Inside that Dixie cup is a nut treasure. Pieces of wood and objects of interest are yet to be discovered. A toy box bowl works wonders at entertaining a smart bird. Go Ricky!!!

Red aka Big Bird and Lucy get along just like sisters. They love each other but also bicker and squabble now and then. “You preen me…no you preen me!” “I got your tail!” “Hey! Cut that out!” We feel they benefit greatly having each other. We love them both so much.

Mac nuts are a favorite for Crawford, however the thick shell is too much for the others. These have been carefully sliced along the shell giving the birds an opening to get them started. Search for BESTORE MAC NUTS on Amazon.

Saturday afternoon with some therapy for the Parrot Nanny. Exciting NASCAR race and a gentle giant who gets comatose during the preening session. Life is good.

New little dog now on the premises. Ren has excellent hearing with those focused bat ears. However he is now super confused because both of my greys have mastered the whistles and calls for him to come. Poor Ren is eager to please and comes running…only to find out that it was a grey’s call not us. At least he gets a lot of exercise.
