Smart Bird

I love how smart birds are!  This bird learned a few lessons from watching humans that made his hunt for food easier.  Watch this short video to see how smart Hank is...

Time For Another Dancing Bird

By now you might have caught on that I have a thing for Cockatoos.  They are always great for a laugh.  This one is dancing to Britney Spears.  Even if you don't like her music, this is so cute.  I have never seen a bird want to fluff ALL of his feathers for so long.  Too cute!  I love snuggling feathers=}  (I know I'm not the only one.)  I like to refer to it as "snuffing some fluff". 

So enjoy this youtube video I found.  Maybe someday it will finally be a video of one of my own.  Happy smiles!

Running Like Crazy

Here is a special feathered greeting from Tucson, Arizona from all of us who feel like we have been running around like crazy because life is so busy.  I am fortunate enough to get the unexpected pleasure of a Roadrunner crossing the road on random occasions.  I get so excited and laugh everytime.  What a great little cure for stress!  When I've traveled to other parts of the country/world, many people just thought the Roadrunner was a fictional cartoon character.  So I thought that was another good reason to post these long-tailed beauties.  They are characters, but they are all real =}

Fun memory:  I grew up in Sierra Vista, Az  a little over an hour south of Tucson.  We had a pool in the backyard that was safe access for a one-legged roadrunner who had "moved in".  He was so adorable.  I remember him jumping up on the dining room windowsill when were eating.  He startled me so bad one time that I fell out of my chair...he, he, he.  Sneaky bugger! =}

Have a great week "roadrunners"!

Cockatoo Headbanger

I just love this little Cockatoo headbanger! He is so cute rockin' it out. Someday when I can manage to get one when I have the time and space, I really want a cockatoo. They are so beautiful! But then again, I notice that I am attracted to any animal that has something extra going on top of his head. Chickens, ducks, angorra rabbits, hairy guinnea pigs, even miniature donkeys have wild hair. Maybe there is a "funny farm" in my future. Hahaha ;-)

I really want to have some Polish chickens, too.  We had one when I was little.  They are just too cute.

Part of the Flock

Unfortunately I have been very sick these past couple of weeks. So I haven't been able to keep up with all my blogging and "computer stuff" that seems to occupy a bunch of my time building my Internet business. But the funnest thing happened to me when I was having a bad day just before I sick. aka...a bunch of bad days!


At sunset I was turning into the country club where I go to take care of an elderly women, when a large flock of chickadees uniformly took off from one green side of the road diagonally across to the other side where there is a small pond a ways down. My car was going about 15 miles an hour.  A speed that suited the birds just fine, because they flew "with" me. Surrounding me and gradually rolling over the car to give the continuous wave of birds a chance to fly with the Big Bird! This went on the whole way down the road! 

The big emotional baby I can sometimes be over birds, critters and nature; I started to cry.  For me this was one of the beautiful special moments in life. Even though I cried a few tears, it cheered me up tremendously on a day that had been a bad day.

Just another reason to add to the many reasons of why I love birds so much. I always wished I could be a bird and fly freely like they do. On that day I consider I have done just that.

Competing for the Spotlight

This is a video of one of my feathered Facebook friends Marnie chatting with his best friend Mr. Pretty Bird. It is so adorable how they compete for the spotlight in front of the camera. I love the beautiful baby blue feathers!
