Hi Rio & Flock
Hello everyone, Sky here with this weeks SPOTLIGHT on CARING. I must apologize for missing 2 weeks but with the disappearance of Oliver 2 it was decided to fore-go continuing his Spotlight article. As many of you will know last week was of extreme stress at the SKY Flock Home. After being asked by several of my good BC friends I will share what took place.
On the weekend of March 23rd a woman came to visit us looking to adopt a baby Budgie. When she saw that my Momma Deb has 2 very sweet pet rats she screamed and looked rather uncomfortable. Her husband teased her for over-reacting. She stayed and met the little white and violet baby that was ready for his new home. Happy with the baby she left with her new friend.
While here she met me, SKY, minding my own business chewing on wood blocks and just hanging out as usual. She never asked what was wrong with my wing or Momma Deb would have explained my story of abuse. On Monday morning the OSPCA where at the front door with a complaint regarding the home being over-run in rats ( come on now, 2 is not over-run) and there were birds inside with broken limbs.
Momma Deb allowed them into our home, having nothing to hide. They checked all of us out and when the woman inspector met me and my fister Little Angel a severe plucker, she told my Momma Deb that both of us couldn't have a quality life, and that she ought to think of euthanizing us. Momma Deb told her in no uncertain terms her opinion on that one.
The inspectors who decided my life was worthless also didn't know a Budgie from a Cockatiel or one color of each from another. This uneducated person who passed a death sentence knew nothing about birds.
Momma Deb was very upset about what was said regarding me and Little Angel and turned to her BC family for help. The response was beyond belief. When the male inspector returned last Thursday he said the OSPCA had received 100s of emails and many calls on our behalf. All was revoked and we shall remain safely with Momma Deb. Through this Momma Deb learned the following;
1) no owner HAS to allow the animal control people into their home without a written warrant
2) whenever possible keep something in writing from a Vet stating that the bird is healthy, and able to live a quality life. If it has any disability or behavior issue-plucking etc
3) ignorance is dangerous--educate these people before they arrive at someone else's door. If you are "birdly," offer to consult for them
4) The BC family is a powerful force in your corner when you really need them.
I wish to thank all of you for your prayers, emails, calls and LOVE.
with my heart filled with love SKY 224183

Hi Rio
Your thanks are very welcome.
Today is Wednesday. The parront works a lot of overtime during the week. On her days off she run errands and do household shores. Oki and I spend most of the time in jail. We still don't get along. Mommy would be very happy if we would mate so we would accompany each other. Its raining here but the weather is in the 70 range. Its spring break so the airport is getting busier.
Have a very greyt one
kisses and V4U

ERIN GO BRAGH!!!
Yes, we know that St Patty's day has passed, but it is still March and we're still celebrating!
Date: Saturday, March 23rd
Time: 8PM EDT; 7 CDT; 6 MDT; 5PDT; 2 HI
Place: Milonga Page #165848
The Milonga Ball Room has been turned into a real Irish Pub with everything from shamrocks to green beer. There will be corned beef and cabbage with Irish soda bread to whet your appetite as well, plus you know Lizzie will not be able to keep the feast to such simple fare. All sorts of green treats and such will be served.
Sam and the Scruffy Birds band will play at least one or two Irish tunes for us to jig to, and plenty of good old favorites to dance the night away. Chyna and Sam will sing and dance for your audio and visual entertainment, and you know that is always a treat.
TPB&G will have the bar set up with Guiness and Stout and every kind of Irish whiskey you can think of. From Bailey's to Irish Coffee there is no Irish drink that they won't fix. And for the younger crowd the green limeade and kool aid will go down smooth and gentle.
And of course the awards for the Milonga Irish Profile Pic contest will be given out. This time it has been a "Blind Contest" with everybirdy just voting for the best pics rather than their best friends. We shall see how that turns out. I know one little birdie is definitely going to win favorite pic. She is blowing out the competition. And I know everybirdy will be pleased to see her win. There will be other awards to be won as well though.
So one and all get your green back out (although some of us wear it all year round) and deck out for the best Irish party you ever saw. It is gonna be a toot!

Spotlight on Caring--Luigi & Momma Dania
HELLO, SKY here with this Wednesday's Spotlight on Caring, featuring DJ Luigi and his Momma Dania .
SKY: Welcome Luigi and Momma Dania. Please tell us when and how you first became interested in birds.
Momma Dania; I became interested in birds and pets since I was 4 years old! I loved animals and I wasn't afraid of dogs bigger than me. I became interested in birds when I first saw my grandma's Budgie when I was six years old. I played with it everyday until when I was 9 years old, the Budgie died.
SKY: When did you become a bird owner?
Momma Dania; I became a bird owner because I was bullied in school. I always wanted a pet and begged my parents for one. I ended up with two birds because I tricked my parents into getting a coupled bird! My parents got me a pet because I was always lonely at school and didn't have anyone to talk to. So having a pet was like having a friend to talk to.
SKY; How did you learn about BC?
Momma Dania; I joined BC when my friend who owned a budgie named Moby told me about BC and said how it could help me raise my lovebirds.
SKY; Tell us all how you learned how to look after Luigi ( and Angel)? Momma Dania; I learned a lot by talking with my family who have experience with birds and some of my friends.
SKY: Momma Dania, please tell us about Luigi and his former mate Angel.
Momma Dania; Luigi was a juvenile peach-faced lovebird when I bought him and his mate Angel from the bird breeder who breeds lovebirds and budgies. She owns a website called Heartsong aviary. Angel is a peach faced lutino lovebird. She became aggressive when she was 5 months. She was extremely aggressive but with patience and care, she became a loving bird! After her hormonal phase passed, I taught her not to bite. Over time, she was able to step up and go on my shoulder. Luigi on the other hand, was a sweet lovebird. He is really silly and likes to act silly to get my attention. I actually communicated with my birds to ask if they wanted to get out of the cage by bobbing my head up and down and they would respond by getting ready to jump on the door! Throughout the months I had trouble breeding Angel and Luigi at first . I got tips on birdchannel for breeding my birds. After a few tries they got baby birds twice but they sadly didn't make it. I decided to sell Angel because she wanted to continue breeding, so I gave her to a family who rescues birds. She is now with Sunny, a young peach-faced lovebird of 7 months who plucked his feathers when he lost his wife-bird. His wife bird was badly hurt and didnt make it.
SKY: What are your future bird pIans? Momma Dania; One day I will return to my home country Lebanon to start a big aviary and breed Hyacinth macaws. I study about different parrots and hope to be able to help save these endangered beauties.
Sky; thank you Momma Dania & Luigi
