#ParrotSunday - Easter Sunday Edition

#ParrotSunday - Why I Live In Florida

This is what I saw when I arrived at work this morning. (Yes, the Futurelawyer works every day). These white Ibis were in the neighbor's front yard, and moved over to mine, searching for food in the grass. In Florida, you get wildlife year round, even in urban counties like Pinellas. Now, go find some local wildlife and enjoy the day.

 

#ParrotSunday - Lolita Meets Carson

I never tire of watching Johnny Carson's interactions with parrots. 

#ParrotSunday - Laugh A Little Today

Life is tough enough. Take some time to laugh.

 

#ParrotSunday - The Gentlest Parrots Are Cockatoos

My Pinot is an Umbrella Cockatoo. This little video clip is a pretty good interview that highlights the Cockatoo's traits. They are gentle, affectionate birds; but, they can be very loud, and SWMBO kicked Pinot out of our house for that reason. Pinot is now a loving member of my office flock and her loud screaming only occurs for short intervals during the day. The prospect that she will live another 50 or 60 years, however, means that someone needs to take care of her and the other birds after I die. Any volunteers? The job comes with my free legal services for a pet trust, and a modest stipend. But, the love of these beautiful parrots is the biggest perk. 

#ParrotSunday - Don't Pity The Party Parrot

New Zealand scientists are getting creative to save the kapako. Even though there are only about 150 adult Kapakos left in the world, and they are unable to fly to avoid predators, these little guys are the object of a vast project by scientists to help them regain momentum. They are being relocated to islands that are free from predators, and are getting semen carrying drones to help them reproduce. One of them inspired the party parrot meme, and they are very extroverted. Based in New Zealand, they are further evidence of the need for conservation for all of God's endangered creatures.

#TBT - Savannah Exploring Her Environment

#ParrotSunday - A Boy And His Bird

If you do nothing else this weekend, please spend 10 minutes to watch this video. It is horrifying and heart warming at the same time. I can't imagine Savannah in this situation.

Lawyers...Are You Using The Power Of The Internet?

Arent Lievens | LinkedIn. Arent Lievens is a lawyer in Belgium. Yes, Virginia, THAT Belgium. It is thousands of miles away; but, Arent and I have been communicating for a while now. He is from Bruges, so, every time I communicate with him I think of the movie. When he sent me this photo this morning, knowing of my birds, and parrots in particular, it occurred to me to write about the power of the Internet to connect colleagues all over the world. Thanks, Arent, for reminding me. And, isn't it a little cold in Belgium for Cockatoos?
