Current issue of BIRD TIMES

Check out the cover of the current issue of Bird Times! "Caique Cuisine: Fuel for Hearty Appetites" is mine!

Um, I have no idea how long the cover's been online. I only thought to check tonight. For all I know, it may be gone tomorrow. Heh.

Thanks, Fern!

Thanks, everybody!

This is a Caique-they're really pretty little parrots. Because of their high activity level, you need to feed them just a bit differently than other birds. Hence, the article. (And just because I wanted to write about them. )

I mean, yes! You all have to read the article and write a report! Said report must be on my desk by Friday morning or ac has to eat a bowlful of parrot pellets. Hahaha! Err...what was I saying? Oh, yeah: Thanks again, y'all.

Go stand in the corner. And put this dunce cap on.



I already told you the parrots are so old they'd be too tough and stringy to eat.

Oh, I can't breathe....

I've heard it pronounced several different ways. I say 'ky-eek' but am sure that's not right.

I've heard ky-ick, cake, kay-ick, and kay-eek.

Then, of course, some say 'chicken,' but we're pretending not to notice.

LOL. That's cute.

Re: pronounciation--I've even heard it said different ways from caique breeders! Now, that's one group of folks you'd think would know how to say it.
