Parrots are wild, not domestic

Currently the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) bans the sale of any wild-caught species, yet the parrots’ popularity continues to drive illegal trade.

Some parrot species are highly endangered. In other cases, once tame birds have reproduced in the wild and established thriving feral populations in foreign ecosystems. The monk (green) parakeet, for example, now lives in several U.S. states. ~Source: NationalGeographic

If you can’t sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying.
It’s the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep. ~Dale Carnegie

Worry can sneak up on you like a thief in the night. Learn what these well-known people
had to say about worry – and how it can be the ultimate waste of time. ~ Stephanie Sarkis Ph.D.

No regrets… just lessons. No worries… just acceptance.
No expectations… just gratitude. Life is too short.
 ~Jesse Joseph 

Positive people are usually the happy and no worries people,
because they can think that whatever happens
and that everything will be fine.   ~Unknown

Sometimes we look at our life and wish things were different. We sit and hope
that they will change but often as time goes by and we look back, we realize
we are still in the same place. For change does not need time but rather
determination. The will to change your life for the better. ~Mahmoud El Hallab

Education is not all the lessons we learn from, in our life. We all are witness
to our own life, and we gain knowledge from our mistakes and that gives
us wisdom, we can all speak about our own lessons we learn from living
our own life, & that they don’t teach in school. ~Glen Rambharack

Watchfulness is the path of immortality:
Unwatchfulness is the path of death.
Those who are watchful never die:
Those who do not watch are already as dead.

Those who with a clear mind have seen this truth,
Those who are wise and ever watchful,
They feel the joy of watchfulness,
The joy of the path of the great.

And those who in high thought and in deep contemplation
With ever living power advance on the path,
They in the end reach NIRVANA,
The peace supreme and infinite joy.

~ Buddha, The Dhammapada

If you need to change, it either means something is missing or something
is wrong, or it simply means you’ve lost interest. Or that something lost
its value that needs changing. But change is good, if it’s necessary don’t resist it.

~London Mond

When it comes to birds, the males tend to have the more glamorous
feather shape, coloration, songs, and dances.  Female birds choose
their mate based on how attractive they find them. It is estimated
that one third of all bird owners turn on a radio for their pet when
they leave the house. Source: mspca
