BC Exotic Bird Society` and a fish tank update :)

A very close friend of mine is a member of the BC Exotic Bird Society, a group that caters to the special birds of the world. they bring everything in from Finches to Budgies, Love birds to parrots. it's a program that does such good work within the community, what with fostering & Adopting out birds in need of a good home. a lot of people don't realize that there's a lot more to having a bird than a cage & the animal. and they usually end up getting in over their head when they learn the needs & requirements of these beautiful creatures. I was inspired to write about this because my birds, 2 lovebirds Kiwi & Mango, and a cockatiel - Big Bird.. My friend had a HUGE amount of birds and i offered to take a pair of lovebirds & the cockatiel, and fell in love with them. There the most loving companions anyone could get.




We decided to have another good friend in for tea today and Big bird was wolf whistling at her.(he was really friendly today, and i think really liked Vicki :D) Big bird was singing, whistling, and just making sure he's exceptionally loud :) He must be heard lol




And sadly, We lost another Cichlid(petsmart) and another guppy(Petsmart) And a Frog(Petsmart)...




I've come to the realization that petsmart fish aren't the greatest. I'll still buy my Shrimp from petsmart, and MOST if not ALL of my decorations, since like i've been told, they are the cheapest place for ALL DECORATIONS. even their plants. there all under 4.00$, i did Laura's tank for under 10. what i liked about the plants from petsmart , i got 3 corkscrew plants, and 1 thingy? is that a new word? it's a thingy in the tank. haha i can't remember what it's called but it's big. the corkscrews are popping up around the tank. every day i see a little bit of green coming up somewhere new. it's fantastic.




This was suppost to be a post about birds and i still managed to throw in fantastic neighbors, and fish. well i hope everyone is having a great weekend,

Misadventures in pet-keeping

I'm not new in the world of pets, but I'm not an expert either. I'm a human being. I learn from trial & error just like every one else. I'll admit to having my first fish tank all die from doing a total water change. I sometimes forget to clean out the litter box every day. I'll even cover up the birds if they get too loud. I'm no angel. I decided to share my misadventures with the world, maybe throw in some product reviews, and explore my love of fish keeping with all of you wonderful folks on the net.

In the future, you can expect to see reviews of such things like Aquarium Filters, gadgets, cat&dog toys, Pet foods, Kitty litter, You name it, i'll probably give it a shot. I'll also be sharing my exploration into the more advanced world of fish keeping. Cichlids, Discus & eventually salt water. maybe even explore some aquatic reptiles with you guys&gals. sounds like fun eh? I'm excited!!!

Well hope to cya all soon,
