Parrots n’Stuff
April 24, 2006 10:26 am Family, Work
Weather is getting better, finally! Last friday, at work, excellent weather, really a summer feeling. It reminds me how much I like the sun on my head. So definitly I’m not at the good place where we currently live, maybe a 1000 km down to the south will do the job…
The weatherstation promised good weather for saturday, but unfortunatly we didn’t see a single ray of sunlight. So I did some good working on the new shop system we will be using for our future Shark.nu shop.
We planned to go to a parrot park in the neighbourhood on Sunday, so hopefully weather would be good, and it was! So an excellent day strolling through the park watching the many colourfull parrots. Well, not all parrots are that colourfull… because the park is really a shelter for parrots. They’ve got a fact board hanging at the entry of the park to make everybody aware of some facts about parrots:
Did you know that there are more parrots living in captivity than there are free?- Did you know that as an average most parrots have had more than five owners in the course of their lives?
- Did you know that parrots can easily outlive their owners?
- Did you know that parrots know feelings of hate, love, jealousy , etc and apply as well?
- Did you know that parrots in fact need a natural partner?
- Did you know that people can become spontaneously allergic to parrots?
- Did you know that it is highly likely that for your parrot two more died as a result of for instance bad international transport?
- Did you know that parrots need at least eight hours of attention?
You can see the rest of the list here, and the complete website here. These guys are doing some very good work!
So what’s going to happen this week? A few goals… Finish the new shop system, have some good physical workouts, fix that damn headache at work, prepare my new nutritionplan, and some more stuff…
