Chipper's Best
Best came first. Chipper, who was about the size of a large chicken nugget when we got him, came much later. Immediately, Best took him under his wing, literally. He’d perch on my knee and spread out his vibrant plumage, cooing “best boy” at him. It was the only thing Best could say. Which made complete sense, it was, after all, his name.

The Great Chicken Chase
If you had told me a year or two ago that I’d be raising chickens with my family, I’d have responded with “No way!” I thought of chickens as filthy animals that carried all manner of bugs and illnesses. They were not something I personally considered owning. No matter how much I enjoyed eggs or the taste of the birds themselves, I decided I would source out local farmers’ stocks instead of having my own. The road trips across the plain states where chicken farming was prevalent only further asserted my decision. I won’t forget the stench of those “damn birds” that burned my nostrils, yet here I am raising them and changing my position. Oh, but crow makes a fine meal doesn’t it? Now, my family and I are learning a lot about chickens. Part of our learning has been somewhat “shooting from the hip” or “learning on the fly”, but I’ve found that the birds aren’t so disgusting after all. We even enjoy their company.

The sparrows outside the window, how come you rarely see their carcasses? Sparrows are a very common bird and can be found everywhere.

Noise Annoys
Introduction This is just a random piece on how noise can become incredibly intrusive in whatever we are doing. For some, this can cause serious issues in their lives; for others, they manage to cope. I manage to cope with it although when someone is playing loud Happy Techno on a bus that does become a little trying to say the least.

Wackiest Tale Of A Human and A Bird
Growing up on likes of farm, She only got attached to her baby parrot,not to two adult cows or one baby cow or three dogs . The little baby parrot needed saving and so did his feathers! When they first found him in the yard all tiny with no sight or sound- only chirping painfully; It was love cum pity at first sight, hearing those little tunes coming out from this small ball of green feathery goodness melted her soft heart. She adopted that bald parrot immediately. He kept shaking terribly for many days probably because he was attacked by a bigger predator or may be just fell out of his nest and landed in her house luckily.

What's a Bald Kim-Chick Celebrity Doing in My House with 3 People Outakes
She struts into my house using one of two doors leading into the kitchen to help herself to a dish of expensive cat food. One door is up a staircase unto a large back deck around a corner to access the patio door to the kitchen. How can she tell that either door is slightly aslant … because within minutes she arrives, as if hiding in surveillance, clucking her presence, pecking away if no one is there or loudly squawking her indignity of being chased with a broom.

Dog
A good dog food for your dog meets with a specific, high quality ingredient base that provides a high level of optimum nutrition for your pet. Dog food ingredients are selected based on their quality, and are human grade, meaning that they are also used for human consumption. Usually a greater price tag goes along with the purchase of premium dog food as the cost to find, evaluate and test a high quality ingredient can be more expensive, and because of this, some dog food manufacturers substitute quality for quantity and opt for the cheap alternative.

Proper nutrition is very important for new puppies. It is important, because puppies will go through an accelerated growth phase during the first 15 months of their lives, and having a diet that can provide the optimum base for stable growth without exceeding or the depleting of necessary elements is very, very important.
