Spotlight-Jan16th--KIDDO
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, TAZ, 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 SKY

Hi Rex
I talk a lot, Willie talks a little, and Giz talks and whistles. He makes up new songs all the time, and amuses us all. You should go meet him. He's running for BOTM this month, but he's always happy to meet new birdies.
Mom is heading back to the pool again, after the lovely day with the lovely Lena and a week off. Mom is sure all grandparents feel this type of love for their grandchildren, though. We got the pastel drawing from Lena to wrap for her mom for Christmas, too, and mom gave her the things she picked up on her cruise for both the girls. They are both just finishing with their university courses in time for a break for Christmas. Well, not much going on, it's gloomy looking, but has stopped raining. See you tomorrow I hope. Hugs, FalcoCome visit me, Gizmo, VOTE LUIGI BOTM 225307, Willie,YAY, the Keets have a team!, In Divo's memory & Falco, VOTE LUIGI( 225307) BOTM.

Hiya Rex T,
Yeah when mom brought home my fister Sallykins she was in such a bad shape that we prayed for her every night to get well.
She was with us for a year and seven months or so.
It will be very hard this Christmas without my fister Sallykins around. :(
You have a big flock there Rex T, must be nice to have so much fisters around huh? :)
Here's a vote for you, and I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a joyous and safe new year. :)
Hugs,
PookieCome visit me, Angel Sally says my new Rescue Hatch Day 2/23 & Pookie says check out my new sun cage :).

HI REX T
I also love meeting new friends! I will have to stop by & visit ur foster KC. I am a Military, which is a full size macaw, not a mini. I also get into full sized mischief! Hehehe! I love to go on walkabouts & always find something to get into! Nothing dangerous, of course! I love to chew on cardboard, it's my favorite! Mom stores things in cardboard boxes...she has things that are now in half boxes!
Besides our 2 dogs we have 3 cats. They all leave me alone except Sadie the wiener. She is a 2 1/2 yr old 13lb mini Dachshund who doesn't think I should be on the floor. She always barks at me like she is telling on me!
We are so sorry to hear about ur loss. Losing a beloved family member is heartbreaking. Mom lost her beloved Dachshund Greta almost 5 yrs ago. She lived 19 yrs. Even tho she lived such a long life, it didn't ease mom's pain. Ok, no more sad stuff! Are u ready for Santa Bird? I can't wait to see what he brings me this year!
Hugs & kisses
