Rocky Mountain: “Hi!”
Yup! That’s a Black Palm Cockatoo I just returned from the Rocky Mountain Society of Aviculture Parrot Expo last weekend and man I had fun. Organized by Lisa McManus, I discovered that Lisa is an old hand at organizing events far bigger than the Expo, so naturally it went off without a hitch. But the work involved for all of the vendor

“Shut Up!”
I found this unbelievable ad on “Youtube.” I was surprised because I thought I’d seen most of the ads out there employing birds in their work, but this one is clever and stupid at the same time.

It is entertainment and stimulation and animals love interacting with it. At the Cincinnati Zoo, they have an unusual method of storing for the winter when no browse is available on the grounds: A browse roundup. Here is a video of people from all over the zoo: Bird House, Commissary, Nocturnal, Nutrition, Veldt, even Veterinarians came to the “Round Up” to help pack up browse for the winter:
