This is my first post in more than 9 months.   I have been at culinary school and extremely busy.  My graduation was June 12th, and I now have access to a computer again, and some time on my hands!  :)

I will be posting some new content very soon, along with other useful information for your consideration.   Thanks for being patient while I was away, hopefully I can find some things soon that will make it worthwhile.

As always, I love to hear from my readers so drop me an email or leave a comment below.

Here is a photo of a Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoo:

Below is a an excerpt from the page:

Cockatoo photo

About eight years ago a wild Australian Sulphur Crested Cockatoo flew into a car and broke its wing. The motorist took it to the Vet in Nerang, Queensland, who had to amputate the wing. We adopted her – for which we needed a National Parks and Wildlife permit – and kept her in a cage outside where she was often visited by wild Cockatoos. One of the things that impressed us was how she would push lettuce leaves through the bars of the cage, offering food to visitors.

Description from the ebay page:

This unique hanging lamp features the Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo. The bird is made of bisque and measures about 17″ bent over from head to tail. She is hand cast, fired and then reshaped to fit this piece. This beautiful birdie is completely hand-painted and VERY LIFELIKE as she hangs on the chandelier looking down with her beak open. Her crest is completely raised in anticipation of who may walk below! She swings on a metal and glass “Art Deco” lamp. The lamp is 21″ high (without the chain), 15″ wide and is finished in antique gold. The pair of glass Art Deco shades are frosted and speckled with a pale opalescent pink and antique gold. There is an on/off button in the center of the lamp. The lamp does have a plug on it, so it can be plugged into a wall outlet (you will need an extension cord to do this). Or it can be wired into the ceiling. This lamp does NOT come with the chain. The piece is ONE OF A KIND and will NEVER BE DUPLICATED. It is signed and dated and is an original design and creation.
