Wired: Scientists Drill a Mile Into Active Deep Sea Fault Zone

I’m setting here working on the computer and I look over to see how Ozzie is doing. The parrots are a lot like small children, if they’re too quiet, you need to check on them. And when I look, Ozzie’s not in her cage! So I start looking to see if she’s jumped off on the floor and in need of rescue. Finally I hear a squawk and what do I see?

Apparently she’d decided to take a nap in the sheet I use to cover her cage. Maybe the world’s just a bit too much for Ozzie at times.

From the fine folks at the Onion News Network comes this piece on Taco Bell’s new Green menu. It may be vegan, but not in a good way. I think. Take a look and leave your opinion in the comments.

Taco Bell’s New Green Menu Takes No Ingredients From Nature

And I don’t even want to know what the pink stuff is. Vegan or not.

Or actually not.

Some of the folks out there may remember Willie the Hero Quaker parrot. For those who don’t, Willie’s a Quaker in Colorado and when his companion left the room for a moment, the toddler she was babysitting started to choke and Willie started screaming, “Mama! Baby! Mama! Baby!” She ran back in, did the Heimlich on the child and everyone lived happily ever after.

The Red Cross gave Willie an award recently and Fox News interviewed Willie and his companion. Just like my two, Willie was not about to say a word. But it’s kind of fun watching him poop on the arm of the chair.

Us bird folks are just a bit strange I guess.

All this time I’ve been thinking being vegan was the best choice for the animals. Now I find, via failblog.org, I’ve been wrong.
