Been watching a ton of bird videos, and many feature "target training" where they have a chopstick they get the bird to touch the tip of (they then follow the stick where you want them to be), and not one person has decorated the tip of their stick like a magic wand. How is this possible? Some look like lollipops, but no magician's wand, and not a single fairy type magic wand with a shiny star. I don't understand their logic.

Every now and then, I remember the time I ate a Doritos flavored sushi roll from Walmart, and I'm super proud of myself for how brave I am.

They’re not even trying to not say the quiet parts out loud anymore.

Remember that at the highest levels of education and research, people have always been people...

so on to some lighter fare...

what a day..
how are you all?

Sunny has let me give her kissies 4 times :). Probably she, did reading on color genetics, it's possible to have males this color but less likely. Also, females are more cuddly, this is day 2! Males talk more, and Sky is quite vocal. Have been given permission to install a screen door in the hall to turn that end of the trailer into a couple of rooms they can fly around in, including mine and my daughter's rooms.

I mentioned to Joe that the birds are reminding me of when I was younger and wanted to breed budgies, a couple of hours later he's talked to family members he knew could hook me up with an old aviary. Someone come tell him he's not supposed to encourage me when I get excited, I'm just easily excitable. I'm not gonna tell him because I might get an aviary out of it.

Winter Solstice

Does the Fir tree know the solstice?
Is its time continuous or discrete?
On this, the hinge of the year
When the sun begins its swing
We humans arrange the stones, marking the day

Fir trees take no notice.
They have slowed, but not stoped in their reach.
Snow has not yet bent the branch
Nor hard rain weakened the slope
They stand throughout without hope or fear.

My new bird's new bird. We got a tiny travel cage, they'll take turns on who gets the big cage until they are both tame, then I'll put them together :). This is Sunny, so now the blue one is Sky.

This man is bummed out by how lonely the bird seems, so now it seems we'll be getting another one, and a little travel cage so I can keep them separate while training. Gonna be covered in both dogs and birds eventually.


I finally finished it!

He's gonna love it and it's the perfect size to carry around

Yay! Another cool project completed! 🦁

They have otters and frogs and octopi, and turtles and cats and
