Your Bird is Smarter Than You Think

Also food, water, shelter, rest, and social activity, your bird needs intellectual activity to keep healthy. The only way your bird can get this mental stimulation is through training and play time. Research has found that a bird can solve a problem by insight, similar to a small child.

Parrots are considered to Hans Albrecht Bethe smartest species of birds. They can learn to tell the difference between shapes, colors, objects, and people. The African Grey Parrot is one example of a bird that has the intelligence of a three to four year old child.

Birds naturally can be very resourceful creatures. It is common to see a bird lying walnuts on a railroad track to crack them open. Cockatoos have been known to clips sticks of wood in order to scratch their bodies. If you watch your bird you will see different ways they use their ropes, toys, pacifiers, and other things. You will come to find that those items may have different uses.

If you're interested in speaking birds, they have come along way. Once parrots were the only birds to speak, now there are many other birds that can speak. Try encouraging your bird to speak; you can use CDs, tapes, and books to teach speech training. There is one report of an African Grey named Jack who has over 100 word vocabulary, can distinguish both shapes and colors and can understand the difference between big and small things. Alex even tends to put words together to add new phrases to his vocabulary.

Birds in the wild have exceptional memories. In info they've been known to bury thousands of seeds and are able to recover 90% of them. It has been considered that they may have a special portion of their brain that allows them to accomplish things. Jack, the parrot we mentioned that lives right down the street from us here in Champaign can tell you the color of corn, even when he has no corn to look at.

Though they are debatable, scientists are now stating that birds have the right make up for emotions. They have a limbic system, a specialized part of the brain, which is found in humans and mammals, and is necessary for emotion to occur. Bird owners seem to think they can tell the mood of their birds, and have said this for years. Research is now determining how true this is and the possible impact it may have.

THE BELLMAN'S SPEECH

The Bellman himself they all praised to the skies--
  Such a carriage, such ease and such grace!
Such solemnity, too! One could see he was wise,
  The moment one looked in his face!

He had bought a large map representing the sea,
  Without the least vestige of land:
And the crew were much pleased when they found it to be
  A map they could all understand.

"What's the good of Mercator's North Poles and Equators,
  Tropics, Zones, and Meridian Lines?"
So the Bellman would cry: and the crew would reply
  "They are merely conventional signs!

"Other maps are such shapes, with their islands and capes!
  But we've got our brave Captain to thank:
(So the crew would protest) "that he's bought us the best--
  A perfect and absolute blank!"

This was charming, no doubt; but they shortly found out
  That the Captain they trusted so well
Had only one notion for crossing the ocean,
  And that was to tingle his bell.

The Hayloft

Through all the pleasant meadow-side
  The grass grew shoulder-high,
Till the shining scythes went far and wide
  And cut it down to dry.

Those green and sweetly smelling crops
  They led the waggons home;
And they piled them here in mountain tops
  For mountaineers to roam.

Here is Mount Clear, Mount Rusty-Nail,
  Mount Eagle and Mount High;--
The mice that in these mountains dwell,
  No happier are than I!

Oh, what a joy to clamber there,
  Oh, what a place for play,
With the sweet, the dim, the dusty air,
  The happy hills of hay!

Young Night-Thought

All night long and every night,
When my mama puts out the light,
I see the people marching by,
As plain as day before my eye.

Armies and emperor and kings,
All carrying different kinds of things,
And marching in so grand a way,
You never saw the like by day.

So fine a show was never seen
At the great circus on the green;
For every kind of beast and man
Is marching in that caravan.

As first they move a little slow,
But still the faster on they go,
And still beside me close I keep
Until we reach the town of Sleep.

AVOIDING COMMON MAIL ORDER MISTAKES

Not everyone has worked in an office atmosphere all of their life. And when 
this type of person decides to go into a mail order business they don't know 
the first thing about communicating properly to other dealers and potential 
customers. This lack of communication can close a new mail order business 
faster than lightening. Here are some tips to make your transition smoother:

Address Your Envelope Properly

You should use a #10 business-size envelope (not the short ones you use to 
write to your mother.) The envelope should contain the full name and address 
of the person you are writing as well as YOUR full name and address in the 
upper left-hand corner. If the letter is undeliverable because a dealer has 
closed due to death or illness, you will get the letter back if your return 
address is in the upper left-hand corner. In addition, if something should 
happen to the contents inside the envelope the dealer can contact you because 
of your return address. And try to avoid handwriting your return address. 
Sometimes these are impossible to read. If you can't afford pre-printed 
envelopes by all means order some address labels for $1.25 per 1,000 from 
Walter Drake (you know the kind that are advertised in your mail box 
everyday.) Neon or glistening-type return labels are hard to read so try to 
avoid those too. Plain white ones with black ink will do fine.
