Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary

"Bite me!" — Spoken clearly right after an owner told the bird to "Be a good boy".

Halloween month begins now. Today’s post—and let’s face it—the rest of the month are only tepidly scary. For spookier entertainment, please read Chorus of Crows! We visited Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary last January. It’s set in a beautiful location with sweeping coastline, and it’s fun to see the local animals, exotic birds and especially the mascot parrot that keeps saying “Hi” in the gentlest voice imaginable. It’s heart meltingly cute. Follow my feet…
