Thursday night, I took Eloise the Foster Grey back to the Refuge. My mother said she would be missed and we talked about bringing her back after her check up with the doctor, when I return to town. Eloise has settled down a whole… Continue Reading “Learning New Things”
I mentioned that Eloise, an African Grey from the Refuge, is spending a couple of weeks at my house. She is a rather nervous bird – a feather picker, even. Kiwi the Grey makes her nervous, because she is always going airborne and Eloise… Continue Reading “Eloise and Shadow”
Eloise, the African Grey I am fostering (pictured for reference), can whistle “Bridge on the River Kwai”. Just now, when she was doing it, I heard a second whistle: Kiwi the Grey chiming in. Maybe I am going all anthropomorphic, but I think Kiwi… Continue Reading “No Way.”
After work, I stopped by the Refuge to close up. Check on the birds, give the evening meds, cover up the cages and turn off lights and music. While doing a look through, I saw there was blood on Zachary’s feathers. Zachary is a… Continue Reading “At the Refuge – Adventures with Zachary”

The Animal Rescue Site works with Petfinder.com. They have a “click this box” to donate food to homeless animals – you know, paid by the advertisers. You can go here once a day to do it. The Animal Rescue Site is also doing a… Continue Reading “Another Click and Donate”
Manu, the Foster Amazon, is pending adoption! His new family is scheduled to come pick him up on Sunday the 12th. I talked to his new mom, and she asked a million really good questions. She works at home, so he will be out… Continue Reading “Foster Birds”
I mentioned that we had a pretty bad flood at the Refuge a couple of weeks ago. Space has been crazy tight and last night I brought in two more birds: a little lovebird and a – what’s it called? A blue crowned conure?… Continue Reading “At the Refuge – Finding Room”
