I know I'm beginning to sound like an old record, but we had another beautiful day at the Fair. We have been so lucky this year! The crowds have been large and respectful.
Our presentations today were about how cockatiels and quakers, in the right environment, can be good family pets. Sam has some health issues that we also discussed. Additionally, one of our volunteer couples talked about what it's like living with six cockatoos and two canaries. They did an excellent job in describing what it's like to live with six "2 year olds". It was a lively and entertaining discussion. Once again, if anyone is even considering bringing a cockatoo into their home, please visit MyToos.
Again today, we were able to help some people with nutritional and behavioral problems with their birds. It is truly gratifying to have people light up when you tell them the problem isn't as bad as they think and we can help them. Most people don't want to give up, but some behavioral issues are hard to live with. That is my favorite part of the Fair - to help people keep their birds in their homes and to make it a more enjoyable atmosphere for the birds and their owners.
Two more days to go!
