Hi Chaka
The parront has not made it to Tampa yet. The person did not call her back yet. So she does not know yet if she finally will be going. She has been very busy lately. The computer is also giving her a hard time. She needs a new one.The weather is cloudy and it has rained lately. It is getting busy at the airport. She has the last test this Friday. She has to keep the proficiency in her job so they test yearly in different areas. This is all for know.
See you next week if she finally does not go to Tampa

Have a greyt one
be a good birdie

Hi Chaka!
Good evening everybirdie! I am very lucky to be able to blog tonight, mom is busy, busy, busy! This morning and afternoon she was busy putting together all of Peatree and Jester's things, and then when grandma came home from work at seven, they went to take the two of them to Uncle Charlie's house. They didn't get back till 11pm! D: After they came home, mom started packing her stuff until she remembered that she had to blog for me! So here she is sitting at the computer instead of doing productive things. :P She still has to finish packing, roll change, clean a little bit, and a few other things.

For those of you that don't know, mommy and the family are leaving on a week long vacation to Hilton Head SC tomorrow. They are staying in a condo by the beach with grandma and grandpa's friends. I believe mom has packed every single art tool she has. XD All crammed into a little bag and a backpack, she has two sketch books, three canvases, colored pencils, water color pencils, graphite pencils, charcoal, at least 15 bottles of paint, paint brushes, erasers, a large pencil sharpener, her hot glue gun, extra hot glue, and tons of feathers. She'd have a panic attack if she didn't bring EVERYTHING. XD Oh mother!

ONTO THE JOKES!

Hi Chaka
Today is Tuesday. We are blogging because the parront wont be going to Tampa today. The man who is making the arrangements did not call her yesterday. Lets hope for the best she will be going to Tampa next week. If we don't blog next Tuesday is because she finally made it to Tampa. The weather is cloudy.

Hi Chaka buddy
Hello every birdie, it is SKY with this weeks SPOTLIGHT on CARING with my goofy, fun loving buddies Polly, and Zippy and their Momma Karen
SKY; When did you first become interested in birds? How did you become a bird owner?
Momma Karen; My grandmother had a pair of budgies that she allowed free in the house when I was young. They would go to her and 'talk' with her, imitate and call the outdoor birds. Grandma also fed the outdoor birds and would have jays and other birds sit on her as she offered them seeds. Seeing the different birds going to her is what started my interest.
Sky; Please tell us all, when did you first join Bird Channel? Polly; Momma joined B.C. in 2008.

SKY; How are you involved with birds in general? Momma Karen; I just talk about birds all the time in the various social settings I find myself in.
Sky; Momma Karen, could you tell us about the birds in your life, both past & present?
Momma Karen ;As a child I had a budgie that I had purchased from a dime store. Somehow it ended up with mites, I think. This was back in the 1960s, so there was no vet care and I was very ignorant. The poor thing died when I was on vacation with my family. He was well tended by the before mentioned grandmother. After my 5th human child, the family wanted a pet. Friends were breeding budgies at that time and gave us one for me taking care of the birds (and mice, and rabbits) while they were on vacation. I learned about the sensitivity of their breathing with this one. I moved our 'pet' back into the family space too soon after spraying for lice—we were having great difficulty getting rid of lice. About the time Orion died, Loki was hatched. The same friends let us have a 'replacement'. Still learning about avian vets, Loki lived for 8 years, but died because of a tumor. We had not found an avian vet.
to be continued next week

You Know You’re a Bird Person When

You say thank you after being regurgitated on.

CREATION

On the first day of creation, God created the parrot.

On the second day, God created man to serve the parrot.

On the third day, God created all the vegetables and nuts of the earth to serve as potential food for the parrot.

On the fourth day, God created honest toil so that man could labor for the good of the parrot.

On the fifth day, God created cables and ropes so that the parrot could chew through them

On the sixth day, God created veterinary science to keep the parrot healthy and the man broke.

On the seventh day, God tried to rest, but He had to clean the parrot cages...

Thanks so much for to vote! I'm so glad y'all are enjoying the jokes! (:

How are u sweetie? Well, mom did it AGAIN! She hasn't sent my blogs out in over a week! She has been busy doing spring cleaning, scrubbing everything down & putting winter stuff away & getting out the summer stuff! It's a slow & tiring task for mom! She said it would go a little faster if she didn't have a large bird sitting on her hand! I disagree tho...how can I make sure she's doing it correctly if I'm not right in the middle of everything?!
I hope u had a great day sweetie!

Hi Chaka
I don't know about the concession stands at the baseball games. I guess you would have to ask the Baseball Commissioner, Miz Eva. Her page is 249453.
I have asked Miz Eva about the reserve players playing in the games. Apparently they changed some of the rules this year for reserves to play. The umpire of the day puts in one or two of the reserves each game although I don't think in the games we've played, any of our reserves have played yet. Since you're a reserve, that is why you haven't played yet. Be patient! Hopefully you'll get in one of the games coming up! If some of the regular players don't attend games or practices, then the coach (me) may be able to remove them from the regular team and put them on the reserves and move up the reserve players that attend all the games and activities. In the past, reserves played all the time so sorry that isn't happening this year. Some of the regular players have even volunteered to sit out some games so you reserves could play but they aren't allowing that. Our team has players on it that have been on it for years and we also have a very high attendance of players too compared to other teams. And maybe next year, since you were a reserve this year, if a spot comes available next year, I can move you up too! So I'm sorry you haven't played yet but there are still 3 months of games too!! So come and participate in the chatter and shout some cheers so every birdie knows you're there!
Happy Hump Day!

Congrats Amazing Crackerjack Conures!
I guess I should play silent at more games - hehehe! Way to go, Conures! And huge thanks to Coach Kirby for taking over and doing a bang up job today, wire snakes and all! hehehe!

Reading the game line, kudos to Coach Kirby for not one, but TWO, holy cow, TWO Home Runs!!!! He knows how to lead a team to victory!

And congrats to Riley, Falco, Corky, Popeye and Pookie on their Home Runs! Our team can't be beat with stars like these! And great job to Cookie, Peatree and Martini keeping our team on base and making lots of runs! Thanks for coming out to support our team and help the cheerleaders: Peetie, Chaka, Dixie!

Falco - extra commendation to you for bringing those wonderful CJC tattoos! Bet there will be a lot of discussions around the dinner perches tonite with so many birdies wearing them proudly!

And last but not least - our awesome Cheer Team! Keeping our spirits flying and helping us play with not 100% but 150% effort!

Now we have a bit of a rest on our laurels before our next game! We'll be playing the Major League Beaks on Thursday, June 13th. At least it's not Friday the 13th - hehehe! So let's rest up and get ready to do it all again and win the next game!

Thanks again for being a great team. I'm so proud of all of you and proud to be a Crackerjack Conure!!!!

Prepare as the CJCs take on the Silver Sluggers
TOMORROW at Kevlar Stadium (that's Tuesday, June 4th)! This is gonna be a tuff game so get a good nite's rest and eat lots of carbs and proteins!

I will be dropped off early so I'm hoping Falco or Kirby or another team member will step up to coaching duties. I've asked around and many are busy tomorrow as well! In my absence, I hope you all play super well. Don't forget to hydrate and eat lots of the double chocolate fudge brownies that will be in the dugout for you! And most of all, HAVE FUN!

Hi Chaka
How are u sweetie? I haven't been on BC the last few days coz mom has been very busy! I don't understand why blogging to my friends had to take a backseat...my social life should be mom's top priority! Well, I guess I'll let it slide this time, coz mom was helping my sissy! Sissy & her hubby are licenced foster parents, & received a long term placement on Friday...2 very sweet sisters ages 5 & 11. A month ago the girls spent a weekend at sissy's, & were very happy that they were being moved to her house! Their parents are both heroin addicts & have no desire to get clean! Mom & the 5 yr old bonded over pics of me, & she calls her Grammy, just like the other grandkids! The girls came with 3 carloads of stuff, so mom has been going over everyday to help sis get things put away & organized! Mom stayed home all day today, so I had plenty of mommy & me time!
It's a good thing too, coz mom will be gone ALL DAY tomorrow! Sissy is taking mom's 9 yr old grandson & the 11 yr old girl to an amusement park for the school picnic, & mom will be watching the 3 younger kids! Mom will stay home all day Friday to make it up to me! I sure hope that means that I'll also get "sketties"!
I hope u had a great day sweetie!

DAY 28
THE FUNERAL part 1
Since my travel back home to Canada, my dad has been making lots of calls to my aunt who was looking after their sister. She was getting worse each day. My cousin was getting very worried and hoped the hospital had bed available for my aunt to get in. Then in the middle of may, my aunt finally got an available bed. She spent a 2 or 3 weeks in the hospital and my dad was paying for her health. Then the doctors called and talked to my aunt and told my dad that my aunt was in critical condition. My cousins and aunt were praying for my aunt to be ok and make it through the disease. When our family here heard that she was in critical condition, and she was in a coma, my mom’s family came over to our house to pray and hope that god would help my aunt from the suffering and pain she was feeling. My uncle was reading the quran aloud, and my 2 grandmothers, my aunt and dad were both in tears praying for my aunt to make it through. It was very sad, i never saw my dad cry before because he was a man and never showed his tears. But this situation was different, I cried too, seeing my family cry and my aunt in critical condition, and was very sad and sorrow. Suddenly, I remembered having a dream months ago, were I saw my aunt in the hospital bed and my aunt beside her. Then I cried even more when I was starting to feel my aunt wouldn’t make it. Then, while me and my siblings were asleep and dad was still awake with my mom to hear from the doctor. A call came from Lebanon and my mom answered it. Doctor: “ I am sorry to report but with deepest symphonies, your sister in law has passed away this morning.” I woke in the middle of the night, then I saw my family who was still here. Apparently they came back as soon as they heard the news. I didn’t know what to do but feel sad for dad and cry. I was worried that my grandmother would get a heart attack, hearing that her first daughter has passed away. My dad said that my aunt was a good sister when he was young, she cared and looked after me. I loved her very much. On May 29 2012, the day my aunt died. My dad hasn’t seen her for 23 years, but he was glad that I got to see my aunt and made her very happy because she loved me very much. My cousins, the youngest one out of them, was very shocked and was in tears. She loved her mother so much, and I felt very bad for her. My oldest cousin went to the hospital to find out what happen with taking my other cousin because she knew her sister would collapse seeing what happened. To be continued……

DAY 27
DANIA’S VACATION TO LEBANON part 8
After a couple days, my dad kept on paying for my aunt’s health. Unfortunately there were still no beds available in the hospital. My aunt was getting worse each day, lying down on the couch with pain coming from her lump on her chest. Then I gave the laptop my dad bought for my other aunt as a present. I got the skype working on the laptop and skyped my dad so my aunts and cousins could see him. My aunt was surprised by this technology, and my other aunt didn’t want to be seen on skype by my dad because she didn’t want him to worry more about her since she was in bad condition. We also got to visit my grandma’s sister, she was new to me but apparently she saw me last time when I came to Lebanon when I was 3. Then she came and gave me a present. It was a gold bracelet, I was really happy and wore it on my wrist and didn’t take it off. Then at the end of my last day in Lebanon, I wanted to have meat pie in the morning, so my aunt ordered meat pie but my other aunt, who was happy that I came to visit and check on her wanted meat pie too. I was surprised and happy we enjoyed it very much. Then we had to head back to Canada and I said goodbye to my two aunts and cousins. I was sad to leave because I was going to miss them, and I hoped that my aunt would be able to get in the hospital soon. And so me and my grandma and my aunt left to Canada. Next the funeral, to be continued…..

Hi Chaka
How are u sweetie? Nothing happening today...thank goodness! Mom spent the whole day at sissy's house yesterday, watching a 14 month old boy. My sissy watches him but wasn't available yesterday, so the little tyke's mom asked mom to watch him coz he loves mom! Mom watched him from 10am-5pm & only sat down once when she fed him, & swears she did 5 miles chasing him around! Mom was so exhausted that after she put me to bed, she went to bed at 8:30!

Mom is feeling much better! The cortisone finally kicked in & she has some relief in her shoulders & her nose is healing nicely! She said that she can breathe better out of the right side...but she said NO WAY will she let me Roto-Rooter her left nostril!

Hello Chaka~
I hope you are enjoying your day!
Mom has been cleaning the oven this morning so we haven't started any cooking yet. She sorta burned a pizza last night and had to get it all cleaned up! It was very sad to see that lovely cheese pizza burned but the other, larger pizza made it so I still got some crust. Mom didn't know if you put one on the bottom shelf of the oven, that the paper pan they come on would burn! It was really stinky and I had to be quickly removed from the room but I made it back out there in time for some pizza crust! I suppose that is the most important part!
Today is the 5th anniversary of me, Mandy, George and Gracie coming to live with mom!! It' a special day for all of us!! We are so very happy here and mom says she can't imagine what life was like before we all showed up! I'm hoping for a cranberry ornage scone to celebrate! I got the corn bread already but a scone would be just lovely!!
I do hope you enjoy the day! Leaving a vote and a big hug!

Hi Chaka pal
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 cage

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

DAY 20 ~ THANKS FOR THE VOTE!
DANIA’S VACATION TO LEBANON part 1
Last year, in February 2012, my parents were discussing about my dad’s sister and his mom going to Lebanon to pay their sister insurance. My dad paid 1000$ every month to his sisters because his oldest sister had two grown children and their parents were divorced. In addition, the other sister who lived with them worked as a teacher and tried paying for the family. When I heard about it, I soon said I wanted to go to Lebanon too, to see my aunts, my cousin and family. My parents thought about it then, they decided that it would be my birthday present to go to Lebanon. I was glad but unfortunately I had to wait until end of March. I was usually impatient so I tried getting it out of my mind for a while. Then it was finally the day where me, my grandma and my aunt were heading to Lebanon. We sat at the airport where my dad worked, and went to a restaurant to have breakfast. Then it was time to say our goodbyes, I was leaving for two weeks and I was already crying, missing my parents. It was the first time I was gone that long from my parents and first time I was going on vacation during the school days. Furthermore, we boarded the plane and took off to head to Lebanon, Beirut. To be continued…..

Hi Chaka
How are u sweetie? Mom only got a few blogs out yesterday, so she's sending the same blog with some new added to it! Mom got her cortisone injections in both of her shoulders yesterday, which she gets every 3 months. She usually gets some relief almost instantly, but her right shoulder actually feels worse today! Mom also went to her granddaughter's preschool graduation last evening! I had an exciting day today! It was mom's granddaughter Olivia's last day of preschool, & I got to go! Most of Livi's classmates came running up to mom at the graduation last night, very excited that I'm coming to their class today! Mom takes me to the preschool classes there every year, & I love seeing all the kids as much as they love seeing me! The only difficult part of any excursions, is mom getting me back into my carrier!

Mom is doing good today, but her nose is very sore! Mom has been giving me belly kisses for nearly 16 yrs, without incident! It's swollen on the right side & a bit bruised, even tho the damage was done on the inside! Because my nails & toes are so long, most of the damage was 2 inches down in the nasal cavity! The ER Doc said it was a good thing mom had previously had her adenoids removed, coz my nails would have destroyed the right one! Mom has to be rechecked in 2 weeks, or immediately if she starts bleeding again! She had to be cauterized in 4 different places & has to take an antibiotic! Mom said that the scariest part of having my toes stuck up her nose, was that she was very afraid my 2 toes would end up broken...mom was very relieved that my toes are absolutely fine! Mom refers to this incident as "NoseGate 2013"!
Mom doesn't want anyone to think that the ER Nurses & Docs were being discourteous, they were not! They were picturing a tiny pet bird, like a Budgie, not a large Macaw! Mom showed them a pic of me, they weren't expecting me to be so big! When mom said "Be glad I got her loose before I came in"! That's when they started laughing!
I hope u had a great day sweetie!
Love & a vote
Tia
