African Grey as a Pet

Oh my goodness, I started checking for the prices on African Grey and they vary according to where they came from. The Cameroon is the most expensive at $950 down to Red Bellie at $350. Dang! African Grey is expensive.

African Greys are not only the best of talking birds but also very highly intelligent.  Their ability is to mimic the human voice as well as the sounds in their environment. Though African Grey is expensive as a pet, it is well worth it knowing that their longevity is about 50 to 60 years  according to the World Parrot Trust.  

African Grey parrots are excellent pets because they are intelligent. They require time and commitment by their owners to provide interaction and constant attention. As you can see in the photo above, the bird has toys so he won't get bored.

 

If you can afford it, get yourself an African Grey parrot and make sure you have the time to teach him the cool tricks and vocabulary.

The Busy Buzzing Bee

It was raining earlier today. I had my coffee and doughnut at the gazebo. Listening to the chirping of the birds is what I like to do in the morning. When I am lounging at the backyard, I always have my iPad and my handy Samsung camera with me if in case there are interesting subjects to capture. Just like this one, an early morning worker!

Such a beautiful thing. From the hustle and bustle of life, we need to stop a bit and see the beauty around us. Today, try something different like going to the beach and walk barefoot on the sand. Enjoy the wind brushes your hair or just take an afternoon snack with your family at the back porch. Enjoy the essence of life and shrugged that worries for few hours. Have a nice Monday everyone.

Turtle on the Road

This is not the first time that I saw turtles on the road in our neighborhood or in Florida for that matter. Motorists usually stopped and let this precious creature pass by. Even when we were in Mississippi, one time a motorist stop on the side of the busy road while others tried to help the traffic and pick up a huge turtle on the road. It stopped in the middle of the road and hid on its shell probably nervous LOL. Good thing it happened on a country road where everyone is not really in a hurry. I just admire people who have the compassion to animals like this one. CUTE!

As you can see, this turtle is not walking slow LOL. He runs!~ See the glide? That's a huge step hahaha. It took me 3 shots only and he is off to the other side of the road. That was really quick! Now, who says turtles are slow LOL ?

Beyond the fence is the Space Coast Regional Airport ... hmmm ... I wonder if he has a flight to catch? LOL

Few cars pass this area that is why; I got the chance to take these photos. In fact, there were only us and one car which was ahead of us. It is exciting to see animals on the wild.  Thanks for stopping by.

So Much Mourning

I saw these pictures awhile ago while watching the news on Fox. I googled dog nearby a casket and there, I snipped the pictures. This is a painful sight! I wonder what was it like when they are together and what was their daily routine.He is mourning and he is aware of what's going on. I met a dog back when I was in Mississippi. I was on the garden and he just came right at my back. He was bigger than me so; I was so afraid. When I look at his eyes, he was harmful and he tried to befriend me. He wanders the neighborhood everyday and he visit us all the time. One morning, I found out he got tricks, can crawl, roll over, and understood simple commands. My husband and I never really know where he came from but knowing his skills, a military man must own him one time.I just hope that this dog will have someone to love him as much as his previous buddy. This kind of dog is beautiful and very talented. God bless you doggie boy Haweye! Rest in Peace Officer Jon T. Tumilson of Iowa.

Toys for Dogs

Look at the picture below, isn't it cute? Dogs are part of the family in fact; most of our friends treat them as one of the kids. In my workplace before, one of my co-workers made her dog as the heir of her assets when she dies. That goes to show how important dogs are to people. I have no pets at home but, I am fond of them when I visited friend's house. We have a favorite dog that we call Rusty and he is huge and so beautiful. My husband bought him dog toys and he loves to play around it. Since he knows a lot of tricks, he loves to show it and use the ball and other toys as props. Dogs are truly man's best friend because they are intelligent and they can understand commands.

This animal needs attention so; just like your children, dogs need something to play with too. Visit funnyfur.com and you can find hundreds of dog toys to choose from.
