Visitor
Today, something spooked the birds, who took off flying in circles around the room.
Harry came in to the room and discovered what scared them.
A red shouldered hawk was sitting on the fence looking into the bird room.
We comforted Sido (who was the most spooked) and then lowered the blinds so she couldn’t see the hawk.
Here’s a little clip of the hawk. I took the photo/video through the window, so the quality isn’t that great (it’s also raining).
Budgie Aviaries
If you visit the Bronx Zoo in New York, make sure to Budgie Landing – the new budgie exhibit.
You can get up close and personal, and even feed a budgie with a seed stick.

Giving Tuesday
Today is #GivingTuesday. Cooper decided she wanted to use the money she has made from her Redbubble shop to donate treats and toys to Free Flight Exotic Bird Sanctuary and to Ginger’s Parrot Rescue.
Both rescues have a donation page. Other ways to help are by sponsoring a bird or donating items from their Amazon wish lists.

Turkey Time
Cooper has a shop on Redbubble. She donates a percentage of her sales to her favorite bird rescues. The past couple years, Cooper decided to adopt a turkey through Farm Sanctuary. This year she decided to adopt again.
You can read more about Farm Sanctuary here.
Cooper recommends skipping the turkey this Thanksgiving. It’s all about the sides anyway.

Awesome Aviaries
The Budgie Buddies Aviary at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The aviary holds hundreds of free flight birds – budgies, cockatiels, rosella and princess parrots. The zoo offers seed sticks so you can get up close and personal with the birds.
