In October, 120 parakeets were found packed in boxes along a highway in Oklahoma. They are now at Oklahoma City’s Animal Welfare Building. They are trying to discover where the birds came from. They will announce soon whether the budgies will be up for adoption. Hopefully, they’ll all find good homes.

Speaking of James Bond… Here’s Lottie (an African Grey Parrot) doing a stellar 007 impression.
Here is Happy the Eclectus Parrot performing his tricks. What a clever bird!
Kili the Senegal Parrot performs “Wrecking Ball”. A star is born!
1:15 cracks me up.
Yesterday I visited the Aquarium of the Pacific with my niece Solera (Lera’s namesake). They had a lorikeet exhibit, because why wouldn’t there be a bird exhibit at an aquarium?
The aviary was fantastic. I would love to have something like that for the budgies.
You can purchase nectar cups to feed the birds. You can’t pick them up, but if they perch on you, it’s fine. 
The lorikeet enclosure houses five subspecies of Rainbow Lorikeets and two close relatives of Rainbow Lorikeets and the Violet-Necked Lory.
Though it looks like I was only able to get shots of the Green-naped Lorikeet…
If you’re ever in the Long Beach area, I would highly recommend a visit to Lorikeet Forest.
This is Waldo, the lead singer of death metal band Hatebeak. Hatebeak is the only band in the world to have an avian vocalist. The band never tours as the amplification required could harm Waldo.
Waldo is a a 21-year-old Congo African grey parrot. According to the band, “Waldo is quite talkative and has always responded to music in general. We can tell he likes metal because he stands on one leg when he’s happy. He gets very hyper and talkative when we play music he likes and we usually record his outbursts following an extended listening period. We take the best parts and track them with the rest of the music.”
Here is Waldo rocking out:

This week the flock is paying tribute to the cockatiel – starting with a little cockatiel humor. 
A little bird shaming…
