  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 Athena
Congrats to the Tiel Terrors on their win yesterday!
Our hearts are sad for all that loss of life in OK. What a terrible event.
Mom worked in the RVS room again today, the baby foxes are growing like weeds! There are still a ton of raccoons and a few ground hogs, too. Then she went to get her hair cut, and stopped to pick up some lunch. We all told her to eat fast, because both the boys have a game today, and Falco wants to watch and cheer. Tonight she's working at the museum again, a special evening event. On my page is a pic of the fountain mom got running the other day. It looks like it's terra cotta, but it's really a light plastic. Hope you are having a great day, see you at the game. Hugs, Falco

V4U today. That's so exciting how your mom will be meeting Bert and/or Sherman! :) Will the parrot rescue have your mom meet them one at a time, or together? I am sure whatever bird she does adopt, it will be very glad to have a wonderful forever home. By the way, I absolutely love banana and walnuts. Maybe the pionus your mom will adopt will like them, too. Have a good day. From, Mayo

  Hi Athena!
So sorry it took us so long to get back to you. Mom got slammed with more work. Then she had some health issues from her endometriosis. She's getting better today. Thank goodness! When she doesn't feel good I get quiet. Mom put on Dancing with the Stars last night so Kahlua could sing and dance. She loves that show because it's noisy! Then I found a stink bug last night. I was not happy about that. It almost crawled on mom. Mom is terrified of those things.

We hope you have an awesome time with your grandchildren! That sounds like so much fun (and work).
Mom says my species is originally from Indonesia!

Mom thought about Arizona for moving because it does get hot in the day, but then it cools off a lot at night so she thought that might be a nice mix. And it isn't that humid, sticky kind of heat. Mom's scared of moving where there are lots of tornadoes. She can't believe the pictures she's seeing on the TV. Kahlua and I even got scared of a few of them.
Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts. :-)
Mom is pet sitting this week for her friends. They have 3 cats and a rabbit. Their townhouse is on the market so she has to make sure it stays nice and clean too. She's getting the mail and watering the plants -- and they have lots of plants, which is nice. Mom likes plants. And the pets are adorable. They have a dog too, but she went to stay with her grandparents. They will be gone for 2 weeks. Mom is also going to go to their new house site and take pictures every few days to make sure they have pictures of the progress of the house. It's starting to look different every day so she wants to make sure to capture it all while they are gone.

Well, that's about it for us. It's really sticky and muggy here the last few days. We're glad it's not cold but it's that icky stickiness. So mom finally broke down and put the AC on. Now if she'd only go to Wal-Mart and get groceries we'd be really happy! LOL

Talk to you soon! We'll be back on more now that mom is feeling better. Plus we have to get ready for Kahlua's BOTD. :-)
Enjoy your day!

That was very scary about the fire. You never know which way it will turn. My Wingabago is ready for an escape if needed. Mom is the same way family first and pictures next if time allows. So glad you are all ok.

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

It's Emmie.
What would you like to know about Nandays? Popeye has been with dad for over 25 years. She is the sweetest bird. She loves dad and dad loves her. She has been through a lot but still comes out kickin'.
Sun Conures are very playful and sweet, too. Pionus are very under stated. They are wonderful birds and make great pets. Your mom's idea to let the bird choose her is a good move.
Hope your day was fun.
Hugs,
Emmie

  Hi Athena & family
How are u sweetie? It's gonna be a scorcher today, high of 89...with heat index, feels like 95! It was 79 at 10am!

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!

That's mom's priority too, animals first! What a ball game yesterday! Congratulations to the Phoenix Base Flyers, you pulled off a great win, but the Rainforest Raiders have nothing to be ashamed of. With the way they're playing, they won't lose many games this year.
Mom had 3 tours today, and she says if you have to have 3, this is the way to go: she had different grade levels and different subjects for each tour. We got the fountain up and running last night, too, so it looks pretty outside now, and we'll be able to hear the water when we go outside with mom. Today it's bright and sunny so we might get out, if mom gets our blogs done in time. Hope you are having a great day, hugs, Falco

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…..

Hehehehe, now to gain access to moms credit card.

The Miller flock is safe and sound .... that said ...

Yesterday was a very tragic day here in Oklahoma. Mom locked down for hours on the Air Force Base while Tornado ravaged the Moore area (just south of the base). We have many friends and Co-Workers without homes now. Civilian Co-Workers will have double whammy with the loss of loved ones and a triple whammy with the upcoming furloughs to start on July 8th. So far 91 is the confirmed dead count and its expected to rise as we have not located everybody yet. Praying for everybody affected ..... hoomans and animals alike

Today was moms day out with the girls and though we missed her we know she needs these days too. Mom was with her sister and the skin sis and they went shopping and did lunch/ dinner together. Dad was home and on his own too but he helped us too so it wasn’t too bad but we all know mom is the glue that holds it all together LOL. “Friendship, like flowers, blooms ever fair, when carefully tended by dear friends that care.” Leaving a big ole vote for you my friend….Chi chi.

DANIA'S LIFE part 10

When I brought Angel and Luigi home, I wasn't allowed to take them out of my cage. In the next few days I started to bring them out myself. It was fun hanging out with them because I taught them the bobbing head signal. Basically I bob my head in front of the cage and if they bob their heads, that means they want to come out. Also when Angel and Luigi were sitting on top of their cage, they would fly from their cage to all the way to the end of the room and turn and fly back to the cage. It was a lot of fun and I would start running and joining them too. Then Angel wanted to start breeding so I studied about breeding lovebirds and got the breeding box, the lovebird baby food formula and syringes. Angel and luigi tried breeding 5 times, the first 3, they laid eggs and then broke them and one of the eggs didn't hatch. Then I was learning on the way about staying away from the box and checking once a week. The next two times I did stay away from the box, and one bird hatched out. Unfortunatly Angel didn't take care of it properly and it died. Then the next time, 2 birds hatched out and both died since Angel didn't take care of them properly again. I realized that Angel wanted to keep breeding but I couldnt provide the box anymore because I had other things to do too. So I decided to sell Angel to someone who has another boy lovebird so Angel would continue to breed. I found a woman who owned a lovebird that was plucking his feathers. Before, she had the boy and the girl lovebird that were coupled. She and her husband got them from an auction. The wifebird had fractures and damaged body. I knew that the original owner didn't have patience with the female as they do bite to defend their territory. So after she got them, the wifebird died shortly leaving the husbird alone plucking. I was glad to give Angel to a good home where she would make the husbird happy and she would be living in with another couple, Bonny and Clyde. I was happy that Angel was with Sunny. To be continued....

How are u sweetie? Nothing much happened here today, except mom stayed home all day! We had a beautiful day of 78! I spent a lot of time outside today, but didn't get to drive my car, coz I don't really like to be out in the direct sun! Mom swears that I can smell when rain is coming, coz when it got real cloudy & looked like it would rain, I started freaking out & wouldn't let her take me off the porch! I ran up her arm & scrambled onto her back & told her NOOOOO, I hold on to mom's shirt, pant, & gently flap my wings, while on her back...mom calls it my rain dance I wouldn't get off her back & onto her hand until she went back inside! Mom calls Mom told me it was not raining, but I wasn't taking her word about it! I DO NOT like OUTSIDE shower baths!

The irises have started to blossom, too. Tonight, mom and her family are celebrating Mother's Day. They always wait to do that, so they aren't in crowded restaurants and being hustled to eat fast. Tomorrow, tours are in the afternoon, so again, we might get outside. I think that's all for this weekend. I hope you are having a fun weekend, and get a chance to enjoy some fantastic weather where you are, as well. Hugs, Falco

  DAY 17 ~ THANKS FOR THE VOTE!
DANIA'S LIFE part 9

After leaving Montreal to go home, I started researching on the Internet about lovebirds. When I was done, I decided to buy a lovebird. My dad told me I could buy one from kijiji. So the type of lovebird I chose was fischers lovebird. I looked all over kijiji but none of them lived closer to my area. So I decided to pick another type of lovebirds. The next one I chose was the peach-faced lovebird then I did research. I went one kijiji and found a bird breeder who was breeding lovebirds and budgies. She had 2 lovebirds that we're coupled, the green one was 5 months and the yellow one was 4 months. I somehow got dad to get me two birds instead of one. So we contacted the lady and went to her house. It was long trip to me to get to neapean. When we got there, the house had noisy chirping birds. The lady was handfeeding a lovebird! It was so cute and adorable. She showed me around then she showed me the two lovebirds. I brought the cage with me to the two birds inside. The lady asked "What are you going to name your new birds?" Since the green one was a boy and he reminded me of super Mario, I named him Luigi. The yellow one who was a girl, I named her Angel, because she was yellow with white flight and rump feathers so it reminded me of the sun. To be continued.....

  Hi Athena.
It's Emmie.
We all saw the game. Cammie and Bourke did the play by play announcing and dad was the umpire.
It was a great game, for sure,
Today was kinda nice, here. The high was 76.
Hope your day was great.
Hugs,
Emmie

  Heya Miss Athena!
Pleased to meet you--and I must say you are a stunning gal! I am a Meyer's Parrot, and I am more like Kiddo, as I belong to the same family. Now Pionus are really awesome birds--from what Mom says, they are quieter than most. But unfortunately, Mom doesn't know too much about them other than that. She looked on the BC Parrot species, and they said that they are independent birds, not terribly prone to cuddling or things like that. Now, I can't imagine not wanted to be cuddled, but I guess some birdies don't like a lot of that. I think it might be a general statement, and maybe not apply to every bird. Did you try to contact any of the birdies who might be on the BC? I bet that might help to find out more on the birdies right from the beak, so to say!

Hugs from Kaji

  Hi Athena
Oh can imagine how your mom must feel with skin sis and family moving so far away too! Nice they have visits at least set up and give your mom and dad a chance to travel too. Oh we know how summer is here with us too and on the whim the parronts go or do something and we dont get to blog either...sure not like in the winter when mom is more home bound LOL. Today mom said some body was coming here to visit so we had to be in our condos. When the lady came she looked in at me but I was being good and was in my happy hut. She thought it was funny I liked to be in it and couldn’t even see me for a while till mom pointed me out. Apparently she wasn’t much of a fid person and didn’t know much about us at all other then the wild ones she saw outside. “Friendship, like flowers, blooms ever more fair, when carefully tended by dear friends who care.” V4U my friend, Chi chi.

Come visit me, Gus & Chi chi ..
