No, it doesn't stand for World Wide Web, it's time for WILDERNESS WILDLIFE WEEK in Pigeon Forge! I actually am planning on participating in the evnets along with a few of my close friends from the Knoxville Zoo Bird Show. We are going to be presenting on Thursday, January 17th from 11:00 in the morning til around 12:00. You should definitely make a point to stop be not only to catch me in action, but also to be the first on you block to catch a glimpse of a few of the new animals we have for the Bird Show this year. I guarantee that it will be an hour filled with tons of cool facts & exciting behaviors from both the trainers & the animals! Hope to see you there...

Well, it's the beginning of a brand new year, & I am so excited. This year is already proving to be one full of surprises & great news. The holiday season has been extremely busy, in more ways than one. The television show I traveled to Boston to tape was recently aired over in England & there is already talk of more possibile trips to come in the near future! (but you'll have to stayed tune for that information) Also, the Bird Show here at the zoo has acquired a few new friends over the winter. Plans have been made for all the "new guys" to prepare over the next few months & be ready to make their much awaited debuts in the Bird Show beginning this April. Hope all of you had a very wonderful holiday time, & we are all looking forward to seeing you at the Knoxville Zoo soon. Please, make a special visit to cheer us on here at the Bird Show!
One of my trainers, Stephanie White, & I preparing to perform a program for pre-schoolers as part of the documentary.
Here I am on my way to Boston, Massachusetts! I went there right before Thanksgiving to participate in a documentary for a British T.V. show called Blink T.V. It wanted to highlight African Greys & how people use them in various aspects of educational & scientific settings. I guest starred along with Dr. Irene Pepperberg from The Alex Foundation.
On Friday, November 2nd, I got a thrill of a lifetime! Betty White, one of the most well-known & beloved celebrities of today, wanted an opportunity to meet me while touring the zoo. She had traveled to Knoxville to take part in a charity dinner for the Morris Animal Foundation on the volunteer Princess Cruises.
