Hey ya’ll! Yesterday I gave you an overview of the Expo. 
It was fun and I had a good time! Today I want to tell you about Jessie James, the BirdWhisperer.
Jessie James with a Cockatoo.
He talked all about parrots – mainly trying to talk humans out of getting one since they are a very long time commitment. 
(Parrots can live for 80 years!) He said to never let a bird on your shoulder because if they get scared or fall or something they might take your ear or nose or cheek with them when they fall or fly away.
These 2 cockatoos have no feathers on their bodies.
He also talked about birds who pluck their own feathers because they’re stressed out (I guess it’s kind of like my fellow canines when we constantly lick our paws because we’re upset).
These two cockatoos are rescues and are being cared for by the Peninsula Caged Bird Society
He also told how you can tell if the bird was wild caught (now outlawed) versus hand-raised (a difference in rings on their legs).
I think he said this one was wild-caught – but I can’t remember.
I enjoyed his talk a lot but we had to leave early to catch the Cat Agility.
This one is very pretty – too bad I can’t remember what breed he is.
Here are some more photos of birds for you to enjoy.
A misbehaving cockatoo!
Beautiful green-winged macaw.
This one is a hybrid – a harlequin – a cross between a blue & gold and a green-winged macaw.
Very pretty!
Here I am watching the bird-man!
See you next time with photos from some funny dogs! Barkingly yours, LadyBird

I’m glad you had fun! Truth to be told, I get a little bit spooked out by birds – I like to stay far away from them!

Did you know our dad-guy has an African grey parrot? She lives at his store so we’ve never met her.
