You have to be constantly on alert while doing chores around the Sanctuary, or just anything, for that matter. Luke, our Blue Crowned Conure, does not like when I vacuum. For a bird that cannot fly (his wing was severely damaged when we rescued him from the Michigan Humane Society about two years ago), he […]
This video was taken on the morning following the first blast of winter snow on 11/22/15.
