Posted by Andrew in : Quaker Parrot , add a comment...please?Note: So sorry everyone!!! I didn’t realize Chester had posted about his adoption day. Here it is:
Good morning everybirdy. How are you this morning?? I’m really good. I be my addoption day!!! Yippy, it’s here!!! Mom made me steak and yeggies. OH, she also made me a cake. Oh, it was soooo yummy. I ate a huge piece of steak. I love steak. Normally, I get only a taste. But today, mom said I could eat as much as I wanted. Oh, it was so yummy. I like that cake too. But I really loved the steak. Dad said I be a sick bird cause I love meats. I can’t help it, meat is so yummy. I love chicken, turkey….those to gross dad out, he said I’m a cannable (what is that??). That I’m not surpose to eat other birds. I’m not eating other birds, I’m eating meats. I love steak, pork is ok. Ham is yummy, but mom will only let me have a taste of that too. Hmmph!!
Yesterday, We had another storm. Every after, we get a storm…what’s up with that?? Dad goes by the my room saying something about pee’s coming down..I’m thinking “oh, know!!! How did pee get into the sky….What did Pumpkin the rat puppy do now!!!!” and how gross!! Yucky!!! Then Dad say’s it hailing pea’s. Hailing pea’s……airn’t pea’s little green (and yucky) vegetables. Hail is frozen water. Hmmm, it must be that frozen pea’s are falling from the sky. How’d they get up there…in the clouds…did someone’s freezer brake and the pea’s went flying up, up into the sky?? I don’t like pea’s, why did it have to be pea’s?? Yucky. So dad get’s his camera and a bucket, then goes outside. I hear “ouch OUCH OUCH!!” and dad comes back in. He say’s the pea’s hurt when the hit. Some time’s I think humans are stupid….any thing frozen is hard, like a rock. Then, it’s falling from way up in the sky, way up there. Of COURSE IT’S GOING TO HURT!!! Silly human!! HOw could they not hurt being hard like a rock falling from that far up. I can’t believe we’ve been having vegetable storms. Just a few day’s ago it was tomato warnings, now it’s hailing pea’s. What’s next?? OMB!!! Dad said some time’s it hails grapefruits!!! Frozen grapefruits!! Now that is a big fruit!! that would hurt some bad. I can just see it now, huge frozen grapefruits falling. Wow and I thought tomato warning were bad!!! Mom is saying it’s froggy out. Hmmph, I hear some frogs outside singing. That must be what she’s talking about, all the frogs are out and about, just doing froggy things. It’s froggy out!! I like that.
Chester P Featherbutt—-happy that’s it’s froggy out
Things to Know about Buying Shipped Hatching Eggs
Posted by Andrew in : Articles , add a comment...please?By Cinda Brent
Some things to know that not everyone will tell you . . .
. . . about buying Shipped Hatching Eggs
Here are some “everybody knows” type of information in regards to hatching egg auctions and/or shipped hatching eggs. I’m listing these things because everybody does NOT know, and anyone interested in buying/selling eggs this way SHOULD be more in the know. I hope this is helpful, whether you are interested in buying eggs from me or just happen across this in a search.
First, let me state that if you are interested in starting to raise chickens or any other bird, having hatching eggs verses day-old chicks or older birds shipped, is the least expensive and safest way to get the job done. By shipping hatching eggs you will no way endanger a chick that could hatch along the way, the eggs will have to be incubated first before a chick can hatch.
It is typically assumed that a seller has no responsibility for shipped eggs after it leaves their hands. It is also typically assumed that the you are buying the arrival of intact eggs, NOT the guarantee or implied guarantee of any hatch rate.
Some egg terms:
FERTILE - An egg that could develop an embryo is fertile. This does NOT mean it is necessarily an egg that will hatch. Also, it is NOT a safe assumption that because it did not hatch, that it was not fertile.
VIABLE - An egg that is capable of surviving (hatching). Not all fertile eggs are necessarily viable. Some eggs may develop, but the chick may not pip, or the chick may pip but die before hatching. This is an incubation problem, typical of incorrect humidity.
CLEAR EGG - A clear egg is NOT necessarily an infertile egg. A clear egg is one in which no embryonic development is seen. This could be due to improper egg storage, rough handling in shipping, or incubator problems as far as regulation of heat, opening incubator too frequently or for too long a period of time, chilling an egg.
I have seen a lot of terms misused in ads and auction listings for hatching eggs, ie, “my fertility rate is high” yeah, but how about your hatch rate? It is not necessarily the same thing.
“Circumstances beyond my control” are words often used by an egg seller in reference to after the eggs leave their care. This covers: rough= (more…)

In Memory of a Friend June 17, 2007
Posted by Andrew in : Cockatiel , 2 commentsWe are very sorry to report the passing of a good friend, J. L. LeMone, and offer this post as a memory.
There is much more details on his website. Below is a photo of J. L. LeMone and an email from The Tall One.
Dear Andrew,
A while ago, you featured a picture of my cockatiel, J. L. LeMone, on your blog. I am very sad to let you and your readers know that, after being with me for 7 years, he passed away peacefully in his sleep on June 14. I am going to keep his cockatiel blog, http://tielweekly.blogspot.com/, going in his honor. I was wondering if you could place the attached picture of him on your Bird A Day blog as a tribute to him.
Thank you very much!
The Tall One
