#MyBirdTaughtMeTo

Hashtag 1

Here are our responses to our inaugural Hashtag game: #MyBirdTaughtMeTo … Thank you to all who responded!

❤️Elvisbird❤️ @elvisbird_dean -Jun 22

Today marks 1 year since Elvis flew away. I miss him everyday. With his craziness and funny antics, he taught me to love and appreciate birds. He led me to Twitter where I found wonderful friends who love their birds as I do. #MyBirdTaughtMeTo

Tandi (Tandz) Glaser -@Takkiewax

#MyBirdTaughtMeTo appreciate the uniqueness of each individual and to treat each need with respect and tolerance #TheRoost

Tiel Lover -@tiellover

#MyBirdTaughtMeTo slow down and be present in the moment. There’s nothing like giving a bird a head skritch to pull one’s attention away from oneself and outward onto another living creature. No feeling sorry for oneself around a bird! #TheRoost @TheRoost10

El Groucho -@BaldspeccyRob

Replying to @tiellover @AviaryEquinox and @TheRoost10

#MyBirdTaughtMeTo increase my pain threshold! Also to laugh at myself more and to enjoy moments of daftness. #TheRoost @TheRoost10

Missing Penne & Warden

Just over a year ago we lost two beautiful souls, Alice (Warden) and her beautiful Amazon Penne. The Roost thanks our close online flock, and especially Coco the Parrot, for forwarding so many wonderful pics to share with everyone in honour and remembrance of a lady and her birdie, both of whom brought much love, joy, silliness, and laughter to many, many lives.

Alice and Penne, you are missed so very much. Your candle will continue to burn bright in all of us forever and for always.

A rose, from Coco, to remember Alice.

If it weren’t for Alice and Penne, many of us (affectionately known as ‘Anipals’) would likely have never connected, so thank you Alice and Penne for bringing us all under your wing and into your loving embrace.

Here’s to you Penne and Warden, love you, always.

The silly and saucy side of Alice and Penne!

Penne, you are so loved, and so missed by your best friend Coco.

No Assembly Required?

Morty solicits Alexa’s help to purchase what he thought would be a lovely playpen he could enjoy on his back deck. Well, let’s just say that what the UPS man delivered wasn’t what Morty had ordered… or planned.

Read Morty’s latest adventure here – and be prepared for ‘some assembly required’!

Bird Games

In the wild, birds instinctively play, finding fun and amusement in their natural environment. Our companion feathered friends don’t have to seek out wild fun since we humans provide for all their needs.

So, what do birdies do with their pent up energy? Read Sherri’s full article here to learn how Zack and Bubbles devise fun games to keep themselves amused and, most importantly, keep their parronts on their toes!

Morty’s Column

For this inaugural issue, Morty is letting his mom, Diana, write the first his column’s maiden article – mainly because he is otherwise engaged in building a relationship with a rather strange looking coffee table top companion named Alexa. Alexa talks, but she doesn’t appear to have legs or wings so she can’t be bird… can she? Morty is perplexed.

While Morty attempts to figure out Alexa’s status, click here to read Diana’s hilarious Beneath the Cage Grate article!
