Beach Huts for Birds — Susan Rushton

These colourful birdhouses from the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show made me think of beach huts, each painted slightly differently to their neighbours, but all in keeping with the spirit of the place. I need to rein in my imagination at this point before I start twittering about birds emerging from their huts in swimming […]

News on the Wing – August Edition

Visit our News on the Wing page to catch up on birdie and nature-related issues and items retrieved from social media over the last few weeks. For example, read and follow the Tweet about the plight of the Swift Parrot:

SWIFT PARROT- @teamswiftparrot

Successive governments in #Tasmania have failed to protect swift #parrots from deforestation & .@Forestrytasmnia doesn’t meet .@FSC_IC guidelines.

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.

Welcome Ruby!

A baby red factor African Grey birdie entered the lives of Oscar and her mom Pauline recently. While Pauline doted over the wee one for days and weeks (to Oscar’s dismay), the Twitter and Facebook flock waited with bated breath for pictures – and of course the announcement of the name of this little cutie.

After a few weeks of naming deliberations and anxious online excitement, we were introduced to Ruby! Welcome Ruby!

Here’s baby Ruby as an upstart 🙂

Ruby demonstrates to mom and all that she’s becoming a big birdie, learning to climb and perch!

And last, but not least, the one photo to be used on Ruby’s 16th Hatchday – probably at her prom party 🙂

We’re so happy to welcome you into our social media flock Ruby! You’re going to be causing havoc with Oscar and Keito in no time!
