Head on over to News on the Wing to read some interesting tweets and articles about birds that we’ve gathered over the last few weeks.
Remembering Chloe
Chloe Moorer, of Columbia, SC, passed away after an accident on December 2, 2017. Born in 2003 in Florida, she was moved to Parrot Mountain and Gardens in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, where she was lovingly adopted on May 20, 2010 and moved to Columbia, SC, with her new flock.
Chloe was a sweetheart and a beauty queen. She loved hanging out with mommy, sitting on the porch, playing on her play gym, holidays, celebrations, visiting family and friends, interacting with her friends on Twitter and at the ConureCorner website and blog, and sticking her nose into whatever her flock was doing. Chloe was an avid fan of the University of South Carolina, the University of Tennessee, Bruce Lee, Superman, and most of all, Captain America. She enjoyed giving kisses to her mommy and grand-mommy, drinking daddy’s juice, eating good food, a rousing mystery, listening to mommy’s stories and ideas for novels, and looking her best. Chloe starred in several Anipal Land stories on the ConureCorner blog, alongside her Twitter pals, as a Kung-fu master who helped to save the day.
Chloe is survived by her parronts, Rick and Sherri Moorer; her brother, Zacchaeus (Zack, a sun conure on Twitter as @wazzupzack); and her sister, Bubbles (a blue Moncks Parakeet, on Twitter as @CaptainBubbs). She was pre-deceased by a brother, Oliver (Ollie, a green budgie who passed of cancer in 2014).
Chloe was a kind and generous bird, and a great listener. She is greatly loved and missed.

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!
