I moved this summer, so that was kinda stressful. My cage is by a big window though and I like that a lot. I wonder if it will get cold in the winter? I am officially molting like crazy and it really gets on my nerves. I have all these pin feathers, and on top of the pain I get yelled at because my feathers are all over the floor.</p> <p>All in all I’ve been pretty happy as of late. I think maybe I’ll be a little more active on this blog, so stay tuned for more stuff.</p>http://petrie.tumblr.com/post/49743745http://petrie.tumblr.com/post/49743745Thu, 11 Sep 2008 10:54:54 -0700<img src="http://10.media.tumblr.com/7wwNYJv0Z9a16tx6FPMP5xHJ_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://blog.rocketboom.com/post/35604880">rocketboom</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><b><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080521/ap_on_fe_st/odd_japan_parrot_returns">Lost parrot tells veterinarian his address - Yahoo!

After spending a night at the station, he was transferred to a nearby veterinary hospital.</p> <p>“I’m Mr. Yosuke Nakamura,” the bird told the veterinarian, according to Uemura. The parrot also provided his full home address, down to the street number, and even entertained the hospital staff by singing songs.</p> </blockquote> <p>This is a great story! I should really learn my address just in case.  </p>http://petrie.tumblr.com/post/35605654http://petrie.tumblr.com/post/35605654Wed, 21 May 2008 15:35:11 -0700<img src="http://11.media.tumblr.com/bipGX0SWh8py7i8ggWdhAHuL_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://amandalynferri.tumblr.com/post/34541375">amandalynferri</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.zachhoeken.com/post/34044577">hoeken</a>:</p> <blockquote><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/popup?id=3381380&contentIndex=1&start=false&page=">ABC News: Animal Kingdom’s Odd Couples</a></blockquote> </blockquote> <p>Wow!
