You will get surprise presents justContinueContinue reading “Presents from Parrots: Taste Testing”
Thursday Thriller: Pearl Cutts in “Partners”
There is a reason so many top secret agents like to work alone. Adding other beings into the mix also adds complications galore. During training seminars, experienced “black ops” agents are often called up to explain the importance of working alone to the new recruits. When this can be done in the form of aContinueContinue reading “Thursday Thriller: Pearl Cutts in “Partners””
Pearl Explains Parrots: Flock Life
As all parrots know, it is best to be part of a flock. Flock life is the good life. For starters, there is always somebody to talk to. And if something goes wrong, there are also many beings conveniently located close by to blame. If a predator (like the dreaded h.a.w.k.) is spotted, you canContinueContinue reading “Pearl Explains Parrots: Flock Life”
Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share
Gratitude is very fond of the simplest things in life: oxygen, water, sunshine, rain, rivers and oceans and meadows and fields (preferably filled with fresh sprouting millet if at all possible). While there are lots of fancy, complex things in life to feel grateful for, it is the simplest things we can always count on.ContinueContinue reading “Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share”
Monday Happys: Teamwork
Teamwork in general is a good idea. With the right team, the activity the large featherless beings call “work” wouldn’t feel like work at all. It would be fun!

They are also able to getContinueContinue reading “Monday Happys: Teamwork”
Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Camouflage
Box turtles are amazing at camouflage. No matter how colorful they may appear to be (for example, Bruce has bright orange cheek patches set against a white face with black and brown accents), put them practically anywhere and watch them disappear. I can’t tell you how many times I have looked….and looked and looked andContinueContinue reading “Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Camouflage”
Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Soaking
From day one of Malti’s and my life together, I knew she needed frequent soaks. Her breeder told me this by writing it down on the care sheet he handed to me on the day she came home with me. I also read about it on the internet, along with related topics like tortoise humidityContinueContinue reading “Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Soaking”

Thursday Thriller: Pearl Cutts in “Invisible Millet”
As every talented top secret agent knows, there are many different types of cases that need solving. Some cases are “open and shut” (every agent likes these kind). Other cases can be “hot,” “warm” or “cold” depending on the amount of evidence and how compelling it is. But then there are those cases that are,ContinueContinue reading “Thursday Thriller: Pearl Cutts in “Invisible Millet””
