Writing on the Edge

Hello everybody!

My human decided to put the blog on a site where I can get an even bigger audience!  Won't that be fabulous?  I plan to leave all the old blog posts here, but if you want to keep up with my new words of wisdom, go HERE.

This is the last of the three pieces of the spotlight on Dianne Gardner's Altered. Today, my human wants to tell you about the writer and give you some links of where to find the book. On Friday, I'll be returning to my usual dispensing of avian wisdom for humans.  Now, excuse me while I go splash in my water b...

You humans are strange creatures for many reasons. Here's one for you. You throw weird parties on certain days.  There are ones fixed to your calendars like July Fourth, Halloween, and Christmas.

Well, today is Photo Friday. I will invite you to make comments about this picture.

My human says that hibiscus grows in her f...

Let’s play a game.  I’ll describe a familiar object.  Your job?  Figure out what it is and leave me a note in the comments.  If you are successful, I will whistle in your honor later.  Okay? Here's the object!

This object is devious. It looks totally harmless, but it's not. I...

There are many things that humans eat that are excellent for birds, too, but humans must have iron stomachs. Some of the things you eat would kill any poor parrot who tried to share.  Let me warn you about the most dangerous ones. I found a pretty good site...

Celesta Thiessen tagged my human in a blog hop. That’s fine. I don’t mind giving up on my advisory role so my human can chirp. She’s a little shy about chirping about herself, so I’ll do it for her.
