Good Morning, it isn’t nearly as cold this morning as it was yesterday. Snow flurries are in the forecast.
Today we have four dogs of Traci’s arriving. Wy the Scottish Deerhound and Arizona a.k.a. Ari the Shepadoodle you have all met before. We all get to meet her new additions Chassa the Borzoi and her Labrador Retriever Snapple. I love that name Snapple.
Today’s wild bird is a Bluebird so I thought BLUE, I’ll share Monty with you today. Enjoy
Meet Monty

Monty is a Blue and Gold Macaw, he came to us as a rescue and is totally Bob’s bird. He loves Bob and will even trust him enough to turn him on his back to play dead. It’s a game Bob has with Monty. He talks well when he chooses to, very clear and defined but most days he screams at the top of his bird lungs. Maybe that is why he was given away. He is beautiful to look at with his vivid blue and gold feathering. His wings have red on them as well. His tail feathers reach the lenght of two feet or more. I would say he probably weights about three pounds and is the size of a pheasant. He is friendly with people he knows. His diet is the same as our other parrots, fresh fruits veggies, pellets and seed. One on Monty’s favorite foods that he likes the most, is my meatloaf. Yes, meatloaf when he gets it as he is eating it he says..mmmmmm is that good. He had to of learned that saying from his previous owners. One thing Monty really dislikes is the vacuum cleaner, a fear probably again from his previous owner.

Have a great Thursday.
