Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Climbing

Living with two different shelled species is so interesting! They are so similar in so many ways, and yet so different in other ways. One thing both Bruce and Malti share in common is an instinct to climb. While both have been known to climb just because it seems possible, the number one motivation IContinueContinue reading “Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Climbing”

Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Curiosity

When I first brought Malti home, I had no idea what to expect. All I had to go on was an adorable photo of a baby redfoot tortoise her breeder had posted on Craig’s List and a few descriptive adjectives, such as “great personality,” “eating well,” et al. Also, I had seen a number ofContinueContinue reading “Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Curiosity”

Presents from Parrots: Spelunking

Parrots are very giving and generous. Whatever they have, they want to share it. If they love you, they want to share it even more….and share even more of it. This means that once you welcome a being with feathers into your life, every day is like your birthday. You will get surprise presents justContinueContinue reading “Presents from Parrots: Spelunking”

Thursday Thriller: Pearl Cutts in “The Downed Cloud”

Being a famous and feathery actor means getting comfortable with playing many different types of roles in all different types of weather. It could be sunny and hot, or rainy and cool, or overcast with lots of clouds, depending on what that particular part demands. This, of course, requires lots of weather-related “props.” But whatContinueContinue reading “Thursday Thriller: Pearl Cutts in “The Downed Cloud””

Pearl Explains Parrots: Turf

When you tend to congregate in larger gatherings, it is important to find ways to let your flock mates know what is yours so they know it has been claimed and isn’t up for grabs. Not only is this important to have the most posh and comfy life possible, but it also ensures you getContinueContinue reading “Pearl Explains Parrots: Turf”

Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share

Even the smallest splash of gratitude can add sugar and spice to the blandest day. Like walking into your kitchen one morning, only to discover a big, bright, shiny disco ball hanging where your dull daily overhead light used to be, thankfulness gets your heart pumping and your eyes sparkling and your feet moving, untilContinueContinue reading “Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share”

Monday Happys: Cage Free Breakfast

Everyone knows that “cage free” is always better. Whether the activity in question is dining, preening, nesting, molting, pooping, singing (screeching), stretching, remodeling or greeting, it is best enjoyed “cage free.” This way, the feathered being in question can really spread out and enjoy it, plus invite nearby flock members to join in if theyContinueContinue reading “Monday Happys: Cage Free Breakfast”

Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Vegetation

I was born in Houston, Texas. Although I have traveled quite a bit and have lived other places intermittently, for the majority of my years I have lived here. This is relevant because, in all the years I have lived here – until now – it has always been hot and humid. Generally speaking, weContinueContinue reading “Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Vegetation”

Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Squirming

I don’t really like to tell this story, on account of how I think the moment I do, the turtle police will show up and cart me off to wherever they incarcerate delinquent tortoise parents. Sigh. But it needs to be told, on the off chance somebody who has a turtle or tortoise and doesn’tContinueContinue reading “Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Squirming”
