I met my mom when she came to meet my African Grey flockmate who, like me, was in need of a new home, our first family having grown too old to care for us. It is with pride that I tell you that I think I made more of an impression than the sulky grey did 'cause I waved and said "HELLO!". Saber said nothing and did nothing but glare. I owe that bird though because after he was adopted, he put in a good word for me, mentioning my name often in the days after he moved in. That had mom thinkin' the grey bird missed me after eight years of bein' together. Truth be told, Saber didn't miss me but I sure love being a part of this family.

Hi! My name is RaneBeau ('>
I am a Macaw from Monmouth, IL.
 'Bo', BoMan, RaneBeau, BIRDBRAIN (according to CocoPuff)******- *
I joined the BC 1.2007. **** ******* ***** My Hatchday is Feb. 10!
 17 years old  M
 Macaw
Pistachios and hazelnuts in the shell. I love cheese but so rarely get any, it's like the ultimate treat.
 It used to be a laundry basket with a collection of mismatched socks or the top of Saber's cage but that's all changed now. I love to have a big cardboard box on the floor behind the door of my room where I can hide and no one can see me. Except for my tail that is. I also hang out on my grapevine perch on the side of my cage or in the closet if I happen to catch the door left ajar.
 When Reba is invited out of the bird room and I'm not, it gives me cause to holler at the rude human that didn't take ME too. Other than that, I'm rather unruffled about most everything else in life.
 My mom sticks up for me when I'm noisy, reminding the family that I'm just excited and want to be in on the action! She tries to keep life interesting for me by including me in most everything she does, whether inside the house or outdoors. I appreciate that I'm allowed out of my cage most of the day...until those guys come home...
 I have to float almost everything I eat in water first; Birdie Bread, granola bars, Walnut loaf, fruit, you name it, it's goes in there. I prefer to play on the floor, unless that's the norm for all macaws. I don't know.
 Wherever my Mom is,that's where I wanna be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~- ~~~~~~If you'd like to see me 'In Action'... YouTube. com/kelybrd.

Hi Ranebeau, don't forget save Sept 14th
Spotlight on Caring
Spotlight on Caring -Taz part 7
Sky here with our last blogs with the Proctor flock. I must say I have dearly enjoyed learning all about this well known B.C. flock. SKY; Please continue, Mom Gail; SUZIQ was the next member of the flock. She came from the same bird store as Scooby. We used to visit there fairly often and buy food there as well. Suzi was a sweet bird and used to live with the owner's wife but then after nine months she decided that she did want to sell her so Burt bought her for me to try and ease the pain of losing Xena, I was not ready for a grey and didn’t know if I ever would be. Suzi still is a beautiful and sweet girl who loves her me and only me. Suzi does like to lay eggs a lot. I have had her checked out to make sure her calcium levels were okay and they were, I also make sure that she gets enough calcium in her diet. Ekkies are also very sensitive with regards to their diets. They don't do well with a lot of additives in their food or with pellets; they need a nice fresh food diet. They also have a tendency to toe tapping and wing flapping usually due to an excess of additives in their diet or stress can also be the cause. Suzi did start to toe tap and wing flap years ago and I had to play detective to try and figure out what was causing this as she was not on any pellets or other type of bird food and there didn't seem to be any cause for stress either. After a lot of research I decided my only recourse was to do an elimination diet for her. I took away all food except peas to start with until she quit and if she didn't start up again after a few days I added another vegetable which was carrots...all well there but when I added corn well Suzi started up again, mom took it away and after three days she quit again. The only food to cause an issue was corn so no more corn for her ever. If she gets a little bit of corn cause she gets the wrong bowl the toe tapping and wing flapping come right back. No corn and all is well.
CHLOE is next to join, I was still missing having a grey around the house so Burt looked through the papers and found Chloe in a neighboring state. I talked to Chloe's mom through e-mails and we met them to pick her up and take her home. Chloe has been and is a joy to have around; she decided that she liked her dad best even though she was a Mother's Day present for mom. She is a good talker and has lots of sounds, some that she makes up. She loves to sing.
SIMON came to join us the following year. I always wanted a B&G macaw and so back to the papers for Burt. He spotted Simon in a neighboring state as well. We took the drive to see him. When we got there, we were let in to a very dark house where all the blinds were drawn and there was another macaw in the back screaming with a blanket over the cageCome visit me, JESSE, AMANDO, a Rain Forest Raider, little angel, jack, Sarah Little Bird, rally,, ANGEL, I'm a SILVER SLUGGER, 2nd baser, Zeena, I'm a Major League Beak, SKY & Miss BB, Lupe', flynn, Poncho, Casey & Tia ready for the Derby, broken wings, broken promises & CASPER, I'm a White Hawk!!!.

Spotlight on Caring Taz part 7b
As soon as Simon saw us he let out a really loud and friendly Hi, and as soon as we walked in we knew he was coming home with us no matter what. He has been a challenge for sure and I got bitten quite a few times in the beginning. He does not like men at all, in the 12 years he has been here that has not changed. He is a momma's boy and he has anger issues but I have figured him out pretty good now so I rarely get bitten unless I cause it by not paying attention. He is a very sweet bird in his own right. He loves being held and loved; I call him my cockatoo in a blue suit. My heart melts when he looks up at me and says "I love you", just like a guy. CHICA flew into our lives when her previous owner decided that he couldn't care for her anymore so he gave her to me. When Chica first came to live her she didn't like to be touched very much. She used to eat absolutely everything in sight until her bowl was empty. She gained quite a few grams now she is starting to enjoy being preened and held. It has taken time and patience so it is so nice to see her enjoying herself. She has learned a lot of new words from Simon and she has the most infectious laugh that it is impossible not to laugh with her.
PEARL was a beautiful little cockatiel. Burt saw her in a pet store, he really needs to stay away from those places, and brought her home. This was shortly after Tweety passed away. She was a sweetie and was sitting on Burt’s shoulder a few days after getting here and laid two eggs, she never laid anymore after that. She was with us for a few years and then got sick, we tried hard to save her but eventually she just couldn't stay with us anymore. It seemed as if she had turned the corner and was doing better but the next morning she was gone. She is buried in our back yard in the flowers. Miss you little girl. NAPOLEON joined us next. In case you didn't guess by now, I love greys. A lady in the bird club wanted to find a home for him and while at the meeting Napoleon and I were bonding so Burt talked to the lady and Napoleon was mine. They brought him over with his cage that evening. Napoleon is a wonderful companion and a wonderful bird. Napoleon is a sweet and loving bird who loves to give me kisses. He is constantly learning new words but won’t talk in front of Burt, when Burt leaves the room he starts talking or if he is with mom he talks…of course he doesn't like Burt or men for that matter. I am now complete...I have my grey...
Sky; Thank you for sharing such loving and touching facts about your bird family.
with my heart filled with love

Hi RaneBeau
Catch this one
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~O
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~O
Sorry I wasn’t on the BC on Monday. We had a very severe t-storm that lasted several hours. It cause some flooding, trees down, wires down, and no power in most of our county. Everything was back up and running this morning.
I was very, very scared and snuggled with mom the whole time, not making a sound. I don’t like rain and this was very bad. As soon as we could, we turned on CNN and saw the terrible destruction in Oklahoma. Keeping all those people in our prayers, so sad.
Hugs
Chyna
PS We are having another t-storm right now! Hope the power stays on.Come visit me, Chyna & Bailey ♥ RIP.

DAY 19 ~ THANKS FOR THE VOTE!
DANIA’S LIFE part 11
I discovered birdchannel from a friend at my school. I registered in September 2011 after I got Angel and Luigi. The only friend on birdchannel that I talked to was SKY. Everyday there would be new activities on birdchannel he would tell me. But I really didn’t know how to go to a milonga or the kissing booth. So that’s how I didn’t know how to meet other birdies. I met Sky when he first came on BC with the broken wings broken promises page. Angel’s page was changed to birdie zone and Luigi became DJ LUIGI. To be honest, Luigi leans more to singing with me and listening to sounds than learning other tricks. Luigi started making more birdie friends when Luigi started running for 500 votes to participate for bird of the month. Next Dania’s vacation to Lebanon, to be continued…..Come visit me, DJ LUIGI-Vote for me BOTM!!!!!!! & Calypso- THANKS FOR BOTD! Happy Mother's day!.

Hi Ranebeau!
My typist sort of took the weekend off from blogging for us and gave us a lot of personal attention instead.
I thought the pacing of the announcing you did at the game was perfect. And the wait for the bottom of the 9th - what a cliffhanger! You did a great job announcing and posting - it was great! Keep on doing what you're doing and it will continue to be great.
It is very hot here. It is over 104F in the city and I think it's high 90s here at the beach. Finally this afternoon we got a good breeze off the water and it cooled down a little bit. I spent a lot of time hanging with dad today on the porch, just looking around. He also drilled holes in some popsicle sticks so mom could make us some toys. He brought me toys from the states and I've already pretty much destroyed them all! hehehe! They put a weird-o happy hut in my cage and I know it's haunted and going to get me. I'm staying way on the other side of my cage from it. I don't know what I'll do tonite - I'm sure once it's dark, it will get me! Maybe I can sleep with my parronts tonite again. I've been really good and sleeping with them the past few nights. I enjoy it and watch over them all nite.
Have a fun week!

DAY 16 ~ THANKS FOR THE VOTE!
DANIA’S LIFE part 8
Before I ever got Luigi and Angel as my pets, I used to beg every single day for a pet. Ever since I was 4, I would wine and cry for a pet. The answer I got was a no, as always. Growing up, whenever I found out one of my classmates has a pet, I would go to my parents and use it as an excuse to get a pet. Then when I was around 13, I got very jealous when I found out my uncle got a hamster for his son and daughter and my neighbor friend got a canary. Well that made my beg and cry like crazy. So after begging for 12 years, my mom got fed up of me never giving up on this topic. So she discussed with dad and she asked me, what pet do you want? Well my options were short; I wasn’t allowed to get a dog, for obvious reasons in my religion. A cat will make my parents sneeze. A reptile was out of the question, and then I remembered how I loved playing with my grandma’s budgie. I decided I wanted to get a bird. Ok, the type of pet was decided, now the type of species was the argument. I told my parents I wanted a how bird that can talk and I could cuddle with. I asked to get a big bird, then no was the answer. First of all, theres no room in my house, second, I can’t put the bird outside since it’s freezing in Canada. So my parents told me you can get a big bird in Lebanon where it’s nice and warm. Ok, so the bird was going to be smaller, but I didn’t care because I wanted a pet really badly because I wanted to hold it and play with it. So when we went to montreal one time, there was a pet store in one of the big shopping malls. I went to see it and there was a whole bunch of small and medium birds. I saw canaries up high up on the cages. And fischers lovebird, cockatiels, it was a wonderland. At first I wanted the cockatiels, but mom thought they were noisy since they were screaming when I approached them. Then I saw the doves and I thought they were lovebirds. I told my mom I wanted the doves, she said no because they are harder to take care of. My mom pointed to the real lovebirds, they were so small, but then I thought about it. Then mom told me will buy the birds next time we come. To be continued….Come visit me, DJ LUIGI-Vote for me BOTM!!!!!!! & Calypso- THANKS FOR BOTD! Happy Mother's day!.

DAY 15
DANIA’S LIFE part 7
When I was young, I used to visit my grandma every Friday. I would love visiting her and seeing my uncles. Usually during my visits, I used to play on the playstation 2 with my brother and my youngest uncle. In addition, I always played with my grandma’s budgie, it was american parakeet and it was blue. Since the bird didn’t have name, the only name I called it was the bird or birdie. I played with birdie every time we visited. Birdie wasn’t tame so I had many incidences were I would take out the birdie and it would start flying every where. Everyone laughed, and my dad usually had to catch the bird. But I found that birdie liked to play on my shoulder, so I had birdie on there. I used to think birdie was a boy, but it was actually a girl. My grandma liked it when I fooled around trying to get to play with birdie. She was happy that I was getting to know birdie. She loved the sound that birdie made everyday. Then my uncle to decided to place the cage on higher grounds since I always took birdie out and she would fly every where. Unfortunately, when I was 9, I came to visit my grandma and the cage wasn’t there, I asked “Where’s the bird?”. She told me, she saw birdie lie on the bottom of the cage, her time was up. My grandma was sad of her loss, it was hard for her. She missed the beautiful chirps in the morning, she really loved that bird. Birdie lived for more than 12 years. She was old and it surprised me about how active she was when I took her out. I was saddened too that birdie was gone. I missed her, and I was happy she had a family before she died. To be continued ……Come visit me, DJ LUIGI-Vote for me BOTM!!!!!!! & Calypso- THANKS FOR BOTD! Happy Mother's day!.

DAY 14
DANIA’S LIFE part 6
When I was around 4, my dad was able to install a long distance plan on our home phone. It made my parents and my grandma happy that they were able to communicate with their families in Lebanon. Most times my dad would talk to his sisters on the phone and then hands the phone to me to say hi to them. My aunts loved me very much and always want to treat me. Since dad was able to communicate with them by phone, he was able to get them to visit us in the summer. So his sisters and nieces came to Canada and me and my brother had to share a room and sleeping with our mattresses on the ground, that time we didn’t have real beds. My cousins would sleep in the other room. During the night, me and my brother would get up from our bed and go to our cousin’s room. My cousins were always sleeping and everytime we came in, the youngest out of the two sisters would start crying and my parents would come and put us back into our room. We got to go out to mooney’s bay with my cousins and aunts and we would go for a walk in the park. My oldest cousins usually liked to play with my brother and my other cousin who was almost my age would love playing with me. We took photos and had a great time. Later on, they had to go back to Lebanon which was sad for us because I was going to miss my cousins. Unfortunately, that was the first and last trip to Canada because they couldn’t afford another trip. To be continued…..Come visit me, DJ LUIGI-Vote for me BOTM!!!!!!! & Calypso- THANKS FOR BOTD!

DAY 13
DANIA’S LIFE part 5
When I was around 3 years old, my dad decided to go visit his family, his sisters in Lebanon. So he took me and my grandma but my mother and brother stayed behind because dad couldn’t afford more flight tickets. He wanted his sisters to meet me since I was the oldest child, and his sisters were very excited to see me, my dad and their mother; my grandma. In addition, the oldest sister out of the two, had 2 daughters, both older than me, one was 4 and the other was 7. The other sister, wasn’t married but was a hardworking teacher at a school. And so, we boarded the plane to Lebanon, and I fell asleep on the way there. When we got there, we rented a room in the same apartment as my aunts and cousins. I had fun going out with my cousins and aunts, and it was the first time meeting them. One time when we were going up the elevator to our rooms, I wanted to get chips which were in our apartment at the ground level. So when my aunts and cousins got out, I stayed in the elevator without them knowing. I pushed a random button, and the elevator went down. Then the doors opened and right in front of me was the place where they were selling chips. I got out and grabbed a bag, the casher looked at me and wondered where my family was. Out of nowhere, my dad popped right behind me and grabbed my hand and bought the chips. We headed up the elevator to our rooms. Turns out, my aunts and cousins went to our room to see dad and my dad asked: “Where’s Dania?” My aunts realized I wasn’t with them and my dad panicked. They explained that the last time they saw me was on the elevator with them. My dad rushed to the elevator to search for me, he headed for the ground level. After our vacation in Lebanon, my dad and my grandma were happy to be reunited with their family. To be continued…..Come visit me, DJ LUIGI-Vote for me BOTM!!!!!!! & Calypso- THANKS FOR BOTD!

Hi ya RaneBeau~
First, let me tell you that you did a wonderful job calling the game! It was so exciting to hear! I really enjoy going to the game and catching up with friends!
We had 2 weeks of really nice weather and we did break some heat records. I didn't really notice it much. Even tho we live on the second floor, there are trees all around and it always seems to be breezy. Felt pretty good actually.
On Mother's day the clouds came back and they've been blowing in and out since. Tonight half the sky was clear and the other half was really dark. It looked very strange. We've had big thunderstorms and sunshine too! Guess it just can't make it's mind up!
I can't believe you've already had a 90 day. People would be dropping like flies out here! We usually get one week of hot in August. Gotta tell you that not so much hot is one of the reasons mom moved here. We use to live in the Mohave desert and she had enough hot to last a lifetime. It will be nice when we get a few warmer days so that Gracie and George can go out on the balcony to catch some rays!
I'm supervising baked mac and cheese at the moment. I've already sampled the mac and it is perfect! Mandy is sitting here drooling because she knows she'll have some with her dinner! It's pretty embarassing to tell you the truth! I've been trying for years to teach her a little dignity when it comes to food but I have failed!
I took a shower today too! Mom put me in the night cage before she was going to take a nap. She went to put some stuff in the dryer and heard me yelling "WOOGGER"! She didn't even have to look to know what was going on and just ran to grab a towel! I get a bit enthuisiastic when I shower!
Enjoy your evening and please give my love to your mom and the flock!!

Hey Ranebeau
Well my day's perfect now that I heard from my big buddy!
I'm just struttin' my stuff around the kitchen counter and checkin' out the bowls on the top of my play gym for a tasty nutriberrie tidbit or two. Oh, and I almost got the F11 key completely removed from mom's notebook before dad noticed and stopped me. Guess I'll have to speed up the demolition next time.
I don't leave much food either - something we have in common, that's cool. If I have to emulate anybirdy, I have a feelin' you're a good choice!

Hey Ranebeau
Lookin' good in the booth, buddy. You're doing an awesome job.
Oh yeah, no worries about the first game - I sort of consider it practice, although those keets were tougher than I thought they would be. Should have known - Remy's a little stud. I embarrassed him by hugging him on the field in front of every birdy after the game. I really was happy for him, but I have to admit to being just a tad bit satisfied he was squirming - hey, something any fister would do, right?
Lol, hanging out in the closet. You really like that? Mom ended up giving us night lights because Mackie was afraid of the dark. Maybe she can't remember the hangin' out in the tree trunk part of her heritage. She DOES remember the flying free part. I sure don't. I may be able to play baseball (now don't laugh), but I'm a total klutz when it comes to flying. It's much better for all concerned if I just walk. Trust me, you do not want to see me attempt to fly, lol!
Remy and I will be at the stadium tomorrow to cheer for Mackie in her first game. She says Reba is a great coach. You're lucky y'all get to hang out together.
Take it easy RMan!
Love and winghugs,

Hi Ranebeau
you did an excellent job of calling the game today. Boo Boo is just ecstatic over the Wonder Wings win. i am very proud of her. my team , the MLBs plays tomorrow and i am very excited but also nervous.
the food and water watch coalition is now suing the FDA for concealing the fact that arsenic is being added to farm animals feed. there is no safe level of arsenic and exposure to it is also linked to several forms of cancer.
the USDA is now putting a hold on genetically engineerd food until an environmental impact study is made. i sure hope the FDA isnt the one doing the study.
i also like to go into closets and dark places. it must be some kind of macaw thing. maybe its the closest we can get to tree cavitites. luckily i havent been locked in any closets.
Boo Boo is just ecstatic over the Wonder Wings win today. i am also quite proud of her.
tomorrow my team the MLBs will be playing and although i am quite excited i am also very nervous.
we had quite a scare at our house today. mom couldnt find the new kitty. the new kitty is always waiting for food. mom started searching the house and found no trace of her. she hunted in every nook and cranny and tore the house apart and no kitty. our other cat just sat there and stared watching mom. at that point dad said mom must have accidently let the new kitty outside and mom denied that saying how carefully she makes sure the door are always locked. after tearing the house apart mom decided to take everything out of all the closets in each room. the first room she started with had a old leather suitcase jammed in the back. mom reached into the small opening at the top of the suitcase and she found th kitty are curled up and sleeping. mom almost had a heart attack hunting for this cat. there was such a sense of relief once she found her. i of course, wish she hadnt found the kitty.

Hi RaneBeau
I have a new pic up today. It only took mom several tries ... hehehehe. I finally held still.
Today was warm and sunny. I was able to get outside for a little stroller time (see pics below). Mom and I sat on the patio and feed the blue jays and chipmunks. I talked to them but, they just stared at me. They say that we will have nice weather thru Sunday, hope they are right!
Hugs

Hi Ranebeau
did you know that that rosy glow that is so coveted by shoppers of fresh meat products at the grocery store is brought about by feeding farm animals arsenic ,which is stored in the meat that is then consumed by everyone?
the world hunger problem could be resolved in one day by eating insects which are high in protein and low in fat and cholesterol. insects breed rapidly and require little space to breed in. this would end the harvesting of less sustainable protein sources and
the poisoning of our earth with all the horrific pesticides, creating a much healthier planet earth and food source for consumtion. crickets actually taste like popcorn and are much better to eat than the mysterious macdonalds chicken nuggets

DAY 12 ~ THANKS FOR THE VOTE!
DANIA’S LIFE part 4
After moving in to our new house, my grandpa was becoming ill unfortunately. He lived with us along with my grandma, they were my dad’s parents. Moreover, my other grandpa got cancer, he wasn’t in great condition. The last time I visited him is when I was 2 years. I still remember that I was at the door and my family was around me, and he knelt down and picked me up and put me on his lap. But sadly, my grandpa , my mother’s dad, died at the age 60. It made her mother very sad and for him to die at 60. Then my other grandpa who lived with me was becoming so ill that he couldn’t walk the stairs anymore, and he would barf on the stairs. I still remember those happenings when I was 3 years. I saw my grandpa die on the bed, and my grandma calling my mother who called my dad. Grandma was crying, and dad ran upstairs seeing that his father died. It was really sad, and even at 3 years I had no idea what was going on and I wanted to come into the room but they didn’t let me in. I saw everything, my grandfather died at the age of 81. Shortly after dad arrived to the scene, the funeral car came into our garage and families were coming to visit. I didn’t understand what was happening but I saw strange people put my grandpa into the car. They were going to bury him in Lebanon where my other passed close family members were buried. The same thing happened with my other grandpa, and I know mom was really saddened to see her father passed away. Me, I didn’t know what was like to have a grandpa. I know that my grandmas are still alive now, and the one living with me is the one who I care for the most. She raised me and looked after me since I was born, and seeing her die will make it so hard on me, she is my everything. My family is my everything. My grandma now at 87, still active and looking after my younger siblings to help my mom when she is at work and she cooks great food too hamdilah, thank god. To be continued…..Come visit me, DJ LUIGI-Vote for me BOTM!!!!!!! & Calypso- THANKS FOR BOTD! Happy Mother's day!.

Hi RaneBeau
On behalf of my mom and I, I would like to thank you for remembering my frother Bailey. It would have been his 21st hatchday on May 11th. He and mom had planned a special day for his 21st … but he never made it. He was so happy to have dear friends here on the BC. You have all meant so very much to us. Many thanks.
Hugs

Dear Ranebeau
Yes I'm feeling much better now. Mom watches me very closely, and if I show the least bit of 'egg' trouble she gives me mineral oil. Yuuck! It does help though and one thing I know for sure, bird moms are the very best! Happy mom's day to yours and mine. Thanks for your visits and prayers for me.
Now, please pray for Spot or he's going to be a lifer in birdy jail!Hahahaha!!!

Guess what? Mom was mistaken. It wasn't a game that was going to be played, it was a running race! All those runners got very wet from the rainstorm! Mom needs to follow the Orioles schedule much better!
All the best
