    EXCERPT

    Today is my birthday and my parents are taking me to a family friend who breeds parrots. A little bird will be my gift. I have been collecting a lot of information about parrots over the past weeks and I feel that I’m now ready to take care of my pet. “Choose one nestling” the lady says to me “they are all so cute!” and she is right. They have a very big head and an even bigger beak and they look at me with wide open eyes. One little parrot has a funny feather peeping out from the back of his head. He looks funny and I decide he will come home with me. As I pick him up he opens his beak and emits a strange call “I like it, I’ll call you Squawk!”

      Don’t feed cooked bones to a dog – they can be hard for them to digest and cause gut impaction. Large raw bones are natural, slow to chew and good for their teeth, and the soft marrow is beneficial too. If your dog has passed away and you’ve got ano
