    I am a bird person. Had a cockatiel for 14 years. If I'd had the money when I was 25, I would have gotten an African Gray.

    I've heard about keas for years. I'm not kidding in saying that my reason for making it to New Zealand would be for the keas.

    Added bonus - Kakapo is indigenous to New Zealand, as is the Kiwi.

    My wife has multiple cockatiels, blue crowned parakeet, a female Ecelectus, and 1 other one that escapes my mind. So it was pretty easy to decide the first international vacation we took revolved around bird tours. Quetzals, mot mots, toucans, toucanets, macaws, parrots, hummingbirds, trogons, 3 wattled bellbirds. In fact, 2022 was the first time we took a vacation that did not have a nature/bird tour built into it.

    Cool.

    The male/female eclectus pairing has to be the most striking in the animal kingdom.

    We have had parrots, macaws, cockatoos, a toucan, a myna bird, and all the "little" birds (parakeets, cockatiels, love birds, etc.)

    None should be kept in cages and none should be kept as pets. It is the height of cruelty to confine animals that fly in little wire cages, clipping their wings so they can't do what comes naturally and fly away.

    (Again, my parents owned a pet shop when I was a kid. Birds were my father's preferred "commodity").

    And this is even assuming that birds are real, which @rslfanboy insists is not the case.

    My son the mechanic tells me that the cause of this problem is that the "rubber" in the hoses is now made, in part, out of material derived from soybeans. That's why the critters find the hoses so tasty.

    Waiting to go through the tunnel into Milford Sound the Kea’s came and attacked my wipers. Turning them on bats them away but they always come back.
    Fun birds.

    Our thing is birds also, especially photographing them. It's no coincidence we're now in a country that has almost 1700 species in an area the size of Colorado.

    They used to hang out at the park where our local AYSO league played, as a kid it didn’t even occur to me how weird their presence was. And yeah, a friend of mine whose mom still lives in the SGV told me there are way more now. They’re really loud mofos.

    Maybe only a noo yoiker would know of this place that nobody visits.

    New legislation proposes renaming Donald J. Trump State Park

    YORKTOWN, N.Y. -- Legislation introduced Wednesday proposes renaming Donald J. Trump State Park.

    Assemblywoman Dana Levenberg and state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal say that the park's association with the former president is contributing to its neglect and sparse visitation.

    In the bill's memo, legislators argued New York state has always been known for welcoming and embracing people of all cultures and backgrounds, which is a quality they do not believe is something the former president represents.

    The state park is a 436-acre site that straddles Westchester and Putnam counties.

    A couple places where I live have Philly cheesesteak omelettes on the menu. Not too bad, but not exactly something you'd want to eat every day.

    Just reading that makes my arteries hurt.

    I used to deliver for a cheesesteak shop in San Francisco in my youth and would get free sandwiches with every shift. I wonder how many years that took off my life. At least I’d get them with provolone and not cheese whiz (the name of the place was Whiz Wit, started by a guy from Philly).
