Be selective with your battles. sometimes peace is better than being right. One can never start the next chapter of one’s life if one is always busy visiting the last one. Do not get upset with people or situations, both are powerless without your reactions. ~SanataBanta

Fallen flowers can’t grow back on tree. But, new flowers can certainly grow.
Life is not about what we couldn’t do so far. It is about what we still can.

Of all the reptiles, turtles are the most beloved. And what’s not to love?

Time is a rare luxury which can never be purchased at any cost.
So when someone spends it for you, it defines the depth
of care they have for you. ~SantaBanta

Relation is sweeter than honey and greater than money,
smoother than silk and whiter than milk,
higher than any tower and stronger than any power.
So maintain it. ~SantaBanta

Don’t forget to thank God for keeping you safe through
the night and every time you awaken to see a beautiful new day.

~SantaBanta

Rise and shine. Whatever was bothering you yesterday is gone and today
is a bright new beginning. ~SantaBanta

Cockatoos can be extremely loud, especially when seeking attention and at certain times of the day, such as at sunrise and sunset. They can learn to speak a few words and phrases.

A cockatoo needs a well-constructed cage to not only prevent it from escaping but to prevent the bird from destroying it. A pet cockatoo will need a steady supply of appropriate items to chew and destroy. Cockatoos tend to be needier than other pet parrot species and an owner should set boundaries early on, otherwise the bird might scream for attention. A cockatoo new to the home should not be showered with non-stop attention, but rather given toys and other enrichment opportunities as well as intermittent attention so that the bird learns to keep itself entertained when the people in its life are not able to offer one-on-one time.

Food for cockatoos should be nutritious, but should also include a foraging element as well. Cockatoos are fun-loving, intelligent and energetic parrots, and their food should reflect those traits. Wild cockatoos forage all day for seeds and nuts, as well as coconuts and grain crops. Like all companion parrots, cockatoos do not thrive on birdseed alone. Cockatoo food shouldn’t be boring to eat, either, and will love foods like Avi-Cakes, Nutri-Meals, Pellet-Berries, Nutri-Berries, and Lafeber’s Premium Daily Diet Pellets. Source: Lafeber

By guarding your speech and actions they become graceful and pleasing to the eye and ear, while you yourself remain comfortable and at ease within the restraint. All your behaviour, manners, movements and speech become beautiful, because you are taking care to reflect upon, adjust and correct your behaviour. You can compare this with your dwelling place or the meditation hall. If you are regularly cleaning and looking after your dwelling place, then both the interior and the area around it will be pleasant to look at, rather than a messy eyesore. This is because there is someone looking after it. Your actions and speech are similar. If you are taking care with them, they become beautiful, and that which is evil or dirty will be prevented from arising. ~Ajahn Chah
