Hi Taz,
new pics are up. The first 3 are of the mama pig with her 2 piglets, then comes the mushroom with smurf & smurfette. A new kokkaburra, a new cockatiel, a citron-crested white cockatoo & a baby seal.
Mum's got good news. She's going to the market on June 1st. It was supposed to start on July 6th, but the lady had a cancellation yesterday & asked mum if she wants the spot. Mum wasn't so sure at first, b/c her friend Sandi can't come this time, but she told mum to go anyway.
That means she'll be very busy next week to get everything ready for it. She sure has a lot of stock now. Must be over 200 pals!!! Our weather is getting cooler now, but mum still swims & when she came home today, she said the water was really really warm again, wow & that at nearly winter time.
Dad's home on a holiday & i'm loving it to have both my parronts here with me. I fly from one to the other, but mainly sit with dad, after all, i have to make the most of him being on a holiday.
The disasters in your country seem never ending this year! Feel so sorry for the people who are affected.
Hope you're having a great w/e. V4u & a big hug,
Jivu ♥Come visit me, Jivu says, it's time for a cup of tea......

Hi Taz and flockily
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

Hey Taz
Just a little, NO, a lot disappointed that this being the 20th. of the month, and JETTA still don't have his OFFICIAL BOTM photo to post on his page. I have NEVER seen this happen to anyone else, ever before, and it hurt's that he gave it his best effort, and can't understand the LONG delay. I realize there might be more important thing going on for some people, but it really made him feel terrible.
Oh well, it's no big thing, and like a lot we have not commented on, we'll get over it.

Hi Taz,
here i am again at long last! Mum just posted new pics.
She made a cute new doggie, a blue headed pionus, a hyacinth macaw, a golden conure, even an octopus & an Indian ring neck. She's also made a new female ekkie & believe it or not, a pink pig with some piglets & a baby seal, but no pictures of them yet.
Our nice warm weather has finally come to an end. It is down right cold now, with a very stiff breeze blowing, but the water is still surprisingly warm (she just had a swim) but she says when you come out, you better hurry into the hot shower. Hope you'll have a nice w/e.

Hi Taz!
I am pleased to report that I haven't bitten momma in over a week! We have been trying to work on my stepping up, but I'm still not great. I REFUSE to step off or out of my cage. I will only step up when I am away from my cage. Grandpa bought the Bird Tricks training DVDs, so mommy is using those to help. I really like going outside, I will step up really nicely out there.
I really like being scritched. If mom or grandma stop, I shake my chain to ask them to come back. But I am not allowing mommy to scritch me at the moment, because her nails are a very scary red and yellow color. She promised to take the color off for me today.

Hi Taz,
It's your Friend, Oz and by the way I like the picture you have on your profile of me & you. I don't think I did too bad today Pitching and Playing for the first time do you? But of course, Cheyenne's Team was a bit better. Hey, we have other games right? Stop by if you get a chance at the Kissing Booth cause Apache is there with the Water Park Theme and the food tent will be like the Boardwalk at the Shore. Should be a lot of fun and I hope to see you there. Here's a vote for you. Oh and Pajama Parties and Movies every night too. Bye now.

DAY 11 ~ THANKS FOR THE VOTE!
DANIA’S LIFE part 3
In the beginning, I had friends at school who were mostly guys, I really wasn’t the type who played with girls since I had more of an interest of imagining and playing pretend. Eventually in grade 2, most of the guy friends I had left me because of new student who came to our school. He was more of an immature boy, and the guys liked him, and that boy was a bully too. He was in my class, always rude and making others laugh because of his immaturity to get the teacher mad. Unfortunately, I was always discouraged to participate in class activities. He always wanted to start problems with me when I participated. When I went to make friends with the girls, they told me, why don’t you go play with your other boy friends? Well I couldn’t, plus I felt they didn’t like me either. I grew up and more independent and finally after grade 6, the teachers decide to separate me and that boy and put us in separate classes for grade 7. Since new kids were coming from other schools for grade 7, I thought I had an opportunity to make new friends. But sadly, even though I hung out with them, they started disliking me because rumors were being spread about me. Well I still walked around that soccer field but I didn’t let these things bring me down, I had to focus and continue on. My mother who always was mad and sad for when I was discouraged and had no friends and same with my father and grandma, they told me that they always talked to the principle everyday to resolve these problems while I was in school. I never knew that to be honest, and I was glad they put their efforts into dealing with the teachers. In my last year of grade 8 at the end of our school year, those boys who left me, came and told me they regretted what they did and that they wish they hadn’t been so mean to me. I was so touched and happy and they told me that they were going to miss me. We hug and had our moments of crying. When highschool came, mother prayed to god that I would make new friends, and I did, hamdilah. I was so happy and they were true friends. I loved them so much and we cared for each other. These were the best friends I had and thanks to them, I had the best birthday ever this year. To be continued…….Come visit me, DJ LUIGI-Vote for me BOTM!!!!!!! & Calypso- THANKS FOR BOTD! Happy Mother's day!.

Hi Taz,
It's Oz and I'm so upset that I was not able to go to the Derby Milonga tonight. Mom was out all day and never got home until near 10:00 tonight. I did stop but of course it was too late. Hopefully, I'll be able to go to the next one. Also hoping to be able to make practice this week. Okay, it's late and I have to get some rest. Here's a vote for you. Bye for now.

...our Milonga Derby Day is finally here, and I'm excited but very nervous! I am not afraid of failure, but I am afraid I'll disappoint my Offlee Wild! If I should be fast enough to win, I will turn every nickel into a new Parrot Rescue and Sanctuary for abused and neglected parrots all over the world! I shall name it the Christy/Mozart Memorial Rescue Mission, this is my passion, and some day, it will be done! Good luck to all jockeys, and all the hat contest entrants, and thanks Chyna for making this happen and aunts Pam, Gail, Denise, and Jane for your tireless work! Happy Mother's day to all who are lucky enough to have one, love to all in your sweet homes...

Hi Taz,
How are you? It's Oz and I can't wait until tomorrow night to go to the Milonga with you. My Mommy just read about the interview with your Mom about her little Xena. What kind of Bird was she? Mom's heart went out to your Mom and she knows exactly how she feels. Long before me Mom lost 3 Cockatiels at different times but it was always hard. Her first and most painful was a pure white Cockatiel with dark eyes named Taylor. Mom said she never saw a white one before and she reminded her of a small Cockatoo. NOW they say that they are in the Cockatoo Family. Anyway, Mom & her Taylor were very close and Taylor was very sweet and gentle. There was so much trust there. One day Taylor flew down from her cage (as she often did) and the way she landed on the rug she somehow broke her neck. Needless to say, Mom was a basket case. She was suppose to go out that day but there was no way she could. She misses her to this day. Again, she went back to the same Breeder (months later) and looked for a White One (even though a cute Lutino Male kept flying on her shoulder) and she found one and called her Sydney. She was far from friendly & Mom was on the phone with the Breeder so many times, she even offered to take her back & get a different one but Mom said No she'll work with her. Took months but finally Sydney decided she liked Mom. Well, a few years later she became egg bound & Mom didn't realize right away but she knew something wasn't right & decided to take her to the Vet's right after work but she didn't make it. Again, Mom was upset. Years later she tried again but this time with a White Face Male named Keaton. He was a real charmer & smart. He said many words, phrases & whistles. About 3 yrs. later, he either has a stroke or fell from the top of his cage, Mom took him to the Vet's in the AM. He checked him over, did blood work, gave him a shot and said to pick Keaton up after work but he died before she got there. It took Mom another 6 yrs. before she thought of getting another Cockatiel & her Vet convinced her to since they are great Birds. We now have Apache who will be 3 yrs. old the end of this month. He says a few words and phrases. Actually all of Mom's Birds say a least a few words but Mom doesn't care whether we do or not. She just loves us the way we are not because we talk and or whistle. Anyway, of course Mom has also lost a few Budgies but most of them lived long lives and that made her happy. I didn't write this to upset your Mom in any way but just to let her know that I understand her pain and it's so true that a pc. of your heart goes with them.
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow Taz and by the way it's NOT very nice to bite your Mommy. Don't forget Mother's Day is Sunday and you be nice to her. She & your Dad gave you a great home. How many Birds/Parrots are abused or not taken care of and we are the lucky ones.Come visit me, Parker, Apache, Oz & Cheyenne.

Hi Taz
The robins sound like they are giving you a real show! Mom says there were all sorts of robins where she grew up in MD, but they don't live here in So Cal. Must be too warm for them or something.
Mom got home from the gym (after 3 hours! Geesh!) and it was too warm for me to go outside. Unfortunately it wasn't warm enough when she left in the morning. However she did share her lunch with me, and it was Indian stuff with kidney beans which I have decided I like after all.
Then we read for a while, but Mom knew she had to type up my blogs, so here I am dictating while she does what Dad refers to as Thunder Thumbs. She says he is just jealous because she actually types, and he does a hunt and peck. I don't know...I have never seen him do any pecking.

Hi Taz and flockily
Spotlight on Caring-Taz part 6
Hello from SKY. Welcome to part 6 of my interview with Taz and his Mom Gail Sky; Please tell us about Xena and the other birds that make up your flockily. Mom Gail; XENA was the love of my life. She was my soul mate and when she died a part of me died with her, she left a hole in my heart. Don't get me wrong, I love all of my babies very much. Xena was only 18 months old when she died; we got her from the same lady where we got Taz. This can be a very long story so I'll make it short. Xena broke one of her legs but it was just a hairline fracture so she had to live in her aquarium for four months while it healed. She did amazing while living there. We used to live in a townhouse with three levels at that time and we used to go to the bottom level to relax at night and watch TV. Some of the birdies used to live on the second level and some on the bottom level so the birdies that lived on the second level all came down stairs so we were all together. Burt used to pick up Xena's aquarium and bring it down so she could be with the rest of the flock. This hairline fracture healed and Xena was back in her cage and all was going well until she broke the other leg but this was worse and required surgery to put a pin in it, back in the aquarium she went for another four months. She was so good; never once in either instance did she cry from pain or ever try to bite me. I had to give her antibiotics so I used to pulverize the pill and add it to some cantaloupe juice and Xena would happily eat it all up...she loved cantaloupe. After the four months were up, she went back to the vet, he x-rayed her and decided the pin needed to come out as it was starting to cause issues with her walking. I was in the room with her during her recovery time and she never woke up from the surgery! The vet did everything he could to try and resuscitate her but nothing worked. I cried out in such pain and fell to the floor when she didn't come to. I was devastated and I mean devastated beyond belief. They gave Xena's body to me wrapped in a towel and I sat on the floor literary wailing until they came gave me a room to sit in. I sat there and cried and wailed until Burt came to pick me up, they called him as I couldn't drive myself home. It took me a couple of years before she could even think about her without breaking down. I couldn't sleep or eat and lost 40 pounds during the first few months; I told you she took a piece of my heart. Burt didn't know what to do or how to console me as I was inconsolable. Thank goodness that I had my husband and all my babies here to help me though it. I never thought in a million years that I could ever love a little bird so very much.
Sky; next week we shall conclude our interview with Taz and Mom GAil. I trust all have enjoyed this series as much as I have in preparing it.
with my heart filled with love

Hi Taz!
Mom overheard your mentioning of all the planting going on in your yard and now she's wanting your gardners to make a visit here in Illinois. She's debating foregoing the MANY baskets of color she's previously put around the back and front this year as she's doubting the time and energy of all the watering that has to follow....maybe I need to find a Drip System for her to play with....not to sure that would work to go from pot to pot to pot...sure would make for an interesting maze in the yard...lol Once the season gets started, Mom slowly comes around and brings in the pretty plants and adds them gradually. It'll just be different not having the impatiens which are her favorites. Something about a mildew is attacking all the impatiens from Florida to N.Y and it's been recommended not buying them for 2 years!!!! WHAT????
She said Plan B will work just as well...lots of plastic flowers poked in the pots will do just fine...no watering either.....????.I'm not too sure about Mom's plan this year, Taz....is this what they call going over the Deep End! We'll see! Enjoy your weekend!!!~~MollyCome visit me, Cookie, Molly & Tahoe.

Hey Taz
BRAIN surgery.... No, actually kidney stones. He's had them before.
Should be party time in about a week. Really looking forward to being able to take a short rest. Pops fingers are sore, ha ha ha. He'll get over it. Screech.Come visit me, Screech & Roof Top.

Hi Taz
Mom totally agrees with you. She was a little concerned when she first got laid off that she would be bored, but now she says there isn't enough time in the day. I say she should spend it all with me, but that just never seems to happen.
Well, there is great eggcitement in the air about the upcoming Derby Milonga this weekend, but let's not forget about our candidate for BOTM either. I hope each and every one of my friends is out there voting for Luigi on page #225307, so we can see his smiling face wearing a crown next month. He is a very active birdy here on BC, and I think he deserves his month in the castle. Besides his campaign is thrilling!
You will be happy to know that the fire is contained here, and they now are just working on hot spots and some embers to make sure there is no recurrence. Mom says if it gets warm enough today, I will go out for a sunbath! The air is clear, and it even smells good outside now. And although 15 homes were damaged, none were totally lost. At one point over 4000 were threatened, so I say our firefighters did a darned good job!

Hi Taz..
I meant to tell you we saw your barking video, it was funny, I bark too as does Rusty, CoCo hasn't started that yet and Mom says three barking dogs is more than she could stand,lol..
Mom loves planting her flowers, she doesn't like planting the veggie garden but her son does most of the hard work. Her son just put up a new Pergola for her on our patio right beside our outside Aviary, now she can lounge in her old lady rocking chair and keep an eye on us. She planted hanging baskets of flowers and hug them up all around the Pergola, they all look so pretty, there's one plant that if I stretch my neck through the wiring on my Aviary I can reach it, I keep the flowers pruned, well wouldn't ya know she moved it now I can't reach it even with my toes..Hope you have a fun day buddy, see ya on the ball field, you know I'll be harassing you,lol.
