Its a story her grandmother would tell her about a parrot. I'm not sure what kind of parrot but it was probably an African gray or in the macaw family. But anyways the story goes like this. The owner of this parrot looking to find a sanctuary for his or her beloved parrot friend, gave his parrot to a local church I think during WW1 because it was too risky to take along while the owner was trying to escape.
So over time the parrot after staying at this church for awhile learns the different hymns now sings along with the church patrons like he/she was one of them. He/she also learned to say "holy, holy, holy, in the name of God" or something like that.
I guess this went on for many years to come and I guess was a real comfort to the people who lived around there during the war.
Just remembering that story gives me comfort and enjoyment.

Oh and one more thing you could also do stories about pet birds in the media like pet birds in movies, animated movies and even video-games.
How about talking about and displaying your favorite pet bird related products from places like Etsy?

Maybe you could get inspired on articles if you pick up and look in to a mag like "BirdTalk?

You could also report on TV specials relating to pet birds that PBS may be showing?

Not easy running a blog. So thanks for running one on pet birds. Always nice. :)

Yes, I should widen the scope of the birds, there are so many interesting stories and so many beautiful species that we would all enjoy seeing photos and reading information about.

I have heard about that rooster! I will look it up again and post is soon.

Thanks again.

It a great idea finding out what your particular bird's relatives eat out in the wild and then feed your bird the closest to that. If find it makes a healthier and happier feathered friend. But a little cheese now and again doesn't hurt either as a treat.
I have doves btw. ;)

Such as budgies and canaries. How about pigeons and doves? Some people have pet chickens and other fowls such as ducks, turkeys est. The interesting tricks they do are just wonderful but have you considered the amazing things that happened in the past with some pet birds. Like the story about how this farm couple were well kind of preparing their chickens for the market but then this amazing thing happened to this poor rooster. Despite the head being chopped off, he lived with out a proper head for quite awhile. Look the story up its quite fascinating.
Just do the research.
