Zeus is a rescue. I drove over 100 miles to another city to adopt him. A friend was working a rescue event at the SPCA down there. She had been saving Zeus for me. Wendy had seen me with my B&G, Icarus and knew how great our relationship was. She pushed our adoption through, crossing out sections of the contract. A "Fortune Teller" had predicted the arrival of Zeus into my life..

  Hi Zeus
Hi Zeus you like a lot of the same things my Mina likes. I am so happy you have a great mommy. She sounds like she is wonderful! I love my little Mina and can't imagine a day without her. I spoil her really bad. I LOVE the fact that you had a fortune teller do a reading for you. Awesome. Give Zeus some soft pecks from mina she thinks he's cute.

Come visit me, Mina.

  Hi Zeus and Uncle Charlie,
I miss you too, but I am starting to adjust. I'm still nervous, but mom says she expects me to take a little while to be completely comfortable here. Mom calls me Jester Mc-BoingBoing because she thought it was a silly nickname, and she likes it. There is no real meaning behind it. :P Hugs, Jester

  Thank you for visiting Tango!
I hope I'm responding right! I'm new to this. Thanks for visiting Tango. Oh yes, she is not allowed to have cheese. I just put that down because she would give up that beautiful crown of her for cheese! LOL
She is my world! I have health problems and when I need to rest she refuses to leave my side.
Marc Marrone was great! He was busy so I didn't get to chat too much with him. He did show us how to handfeed her before we left. I don't get to go that often but his store is awesome! It's just one big bird room with all these new birds, as well as his own, like Darwin.
I'm always so excited to tell people that I got my birds from him and everyone looks at me like they don't know who he is. I explain and they still don't know! LOL At least where I live, his show is no longer playing. It was doing reruns on the Hallmark Channel but not anymore.
I used to have a Rose Breasted Cockatoo also, but after a split with my husband, he took Bumbles and also 8 parakeets. We have a few love matches with them and ended up with adorable babies! Maybe I can get him to put up a profile of Bumbles or let me put one up! Now that's a crazy bird (in a loving way)! He was adopted.

Come visit me, Kahlua & Tango.

What a pretty 'too!
Zeus, mom wants to know with a town named 'Winter Springs', if there are a lot of 'snow birds'. I think her question is SILLY. If you live in FL, there is no SNOW, so you could not make any kind of snow animal.

  Hi Zeus,

Congrat's on being BOTD. You're a cutie. My name is Oz and I'm a Rose Breasted Cockatoo. Mommy is my 3rd owner and she says that I'm now in my Forever Home. IF something happens to my Mommy (and it better not) she has a much younger person going to adopt me and I do like her a lot. But enough of that talk cause nothing is going to happen to my Mommy. Want to be Friends? I don't say much just Hello, Come Here and Shush when it gets loud or someone is passing by the house outside and I also like to dance. Please stop by sometime and see me and my Flock cause we love getting company. Here's a vote for you. Bye for now.

Come visit me, Parker, Apache, Oz & Cheyenne.

  Hi Zeus nice to meet you--v4u
Spotlight On Caring--KIDDO part 2
January 16th Spotlight on Caring part 2
Hello all my BC friends! Sky here with the conclusion of my interview with Mr Kiddo and his wonderful Mom Pam. I must apologize that I failed to post Kiddo`s photo SKY: In what other ways are you involved in BC? KIDDO: My partner, RaneBeau, and I organize the monthly milonga, which is a virtual party which usually has a theme corresponding in some way with the month. For instance in October we had a cemetery tour to go with Halloween. In May we always have the Annual Milonga Derby to go along with the Kentucky Derby with the assistance of Chyna and her mom who are Derby afficianados. And we are always open to suggestions for a new theme or activities to go with a repeat theme. Don't be shy! We love it when other birdies get involved. That is what BC is all about. Community!
SKY: Are you involved with any bird rescues, clubs etc outside of BC? PAM: I truly wish the answer to this one was yes. I have been looking for a bird club in my area for years. There just aren't any. In fact, we rarely have Bird Fairs or Shows either, and I am so envious when I hear about the great ones in other parts of the country. I do sign on to the Animal Rescue Site every day and click to contribute to them, and when there is a contest I vote for the Oasis Sanctuary in AZ.
SKY: WHAT IS YOUR ONE THING you'd like to say about birds in general? PAM: Not all birds can be lucky enough to stumble in to a home where a bond like the one we have formed occurs. And although Dad is not bonded with Kiddo (Kiddo is jealous of him), he is understanding and never is mean to him (although he is not above a few terrible jokes about parrot stew).
And I hope all new parrot people do what I did and research to learn the things they need to know. The first food I bought for Kiddo was seeds, and his first cage was a parakeet cage (which he destroyed in less than one week). I learned very quickly by asking questions at the pet store, reading books from the library and subscribing to Bird Talk, that there is always something new to learn about these fascinating creatures who have so much love and companionship to give us when we are smart enough to recognize it.
SKY: Thank you Kiddo and Mom Pam for your insight into the BOTD/BOTM titles, and for sharing with us all for love for birds, and the wish that all owners would do their research BEFORE they buy the bird.
I am looking for other birds, flocks or individuals who would like to share about their interest in birds, how they got their bird(s) and how they try to make this world a better for for all us feathered beings. Please contact asap so we can plan February's SPOTLIGHT'S on CARING.
with my heart filled with love
