WOW! That was something. I wonder if there was any bloodshed. Thanks Donna!

darn, my computer just refuses to load that video. Want to see it.

Thinking about harpy eagles, though, always reminds me of hawk-headed parrots. I had the fortune to play with one at Omar's Exotic Birds in Orange County once. WOW.

We had a member of the old board, used the screen name Timely Writer; his real name was Joe - he was a really nice guy. You may remember we found out that Joe passed away at some point.  He had one - I think actually it may have been his second.  I just found that a picture of his hawk-headed parrot (he got it somewhere in NJ, he said) is still on the internet:
