Macaws: Blue throat “Jinx”, Camelot macaws “Comet” & “Tusa”
When I moved from Saipan to Florida, I had no idea I needed a permit to own birds there. I never needed one on the west coast, but when I heard that a friend almost had his taken away and now hated Florida, [...]

Busted playing backstage: Jamieleigh & Galah “Bandit”
I’m not so sure I’d enjoy performing on stage if it wasn’t with my parrots, too… they are just SO much fun and backstage time has got to be my favorite!

Fellow entertainers scared of birds… beware! If you’re looking for me backstage, just go towards the sounds of the parrots! Because that is where I will always be.
When there was only one bird in the show, it made it real easy to hang out with just that bird [...]

Travelers: Cat “Ninja” and Galah “Bondi”
Whenever I travel with my bird(s) on the airline where they go as “carry on” with me… I usually will take them in what looks like a gym bag but is actually a pet carrier sold at many petstore chains. I use them for my cat [...]

For those of you that remember my Traveling in Style post, you will appreciate this one.

Moab, Utah is one of my favorite spots to freefly my birds and I think it’s because it’s where I got my first “taste” for free flight so it’s just familiar with good feelings… plus the scenery and everything is just outstanding. While there this last time in April 2009, I went and did a [...]
