Pets I've Met- Coral

Coral is a beautiful Moloccan Cockatoo. She is the mascot of Award Pet Supply, a pet store in Columbia Missouri.

Coral is very friendly. She, like many cockatoo breeds loves to be petted, but customers cannot pick her up because she has trouble keeping her balance. She walks with her feet turned inward.

She wasn't talking while we were there last time but she can. She can also make "kissing" noises, a sort of clicking sound, and whine like a dog.

I got some video of Coral.

Robin Chick Learns to Fly

All of the robin chicks have fledged and flown away. This is a video clip of one chick (probably the youngest one) learning how to fly.

The clip is slightly marred by us talking in it such comments from my brother as "Ain't he homely?", but I hope you will enjoy it anyway. You could mute the video.

State Fair

Last year our family went to the Illinois state fair. Here is a video of some of the animals that we saw.
