Here we see Shasta and Franchesco enjoying a refreshing shower on a hot summer day.
Tonight I had a bird club meeting and it was particularly informative. We had a guest speaker from out of state that has expertise in animal behavior...and human behavior. I learned that I am a bit impatient with my parrots. I learned that I need to enrich my bird environment and activity options. I learned loads of other things as well...
After the speaker we had our usual pot-luck and raffle table. In addition to a meal I did not slave over, I was blessed with some spectacular raffle table prizes. I won the online workshop that our guest speaker does each year for parrot owners. Since there is a 2 year waiting list for this workshop I think I really scored! I also won a new table top manzanita birdie play gym. This play gym is far nicer than the older one I have which is missing some key elements now that many beaks have had at it.
When it is daylight I will try to take a photo of my new improved play gym.
I am grateful for the blessings of today.
I am grateful for solid parrot information.
I am grateful for the evening meal.
I am grateful for the swanky prizes I won in the raffle.
I am grateful for the good fellowship with other bird-nerds.

Wow sounds like you had a great day! Can't wait to see the stand and hear about the workshop.
ReplyDeleteThe speaker was DR. SUSAN FRIEDMAN who spoke on her work with Parrot behavior and training. She was amazing!
ReplyDeleteI learned that I need to be more creative in which rewards I offer my birds for their good behavior. I also need to enrich their environment more than I already do.
Guess I'll be spending more on Nutriberries now.
