Every time when it was raining my wife put all the animals inside the house so they wouldn’t wet and sick. Then my wife went to sleep peacefully, and I couldn’t close my eyes. I was afraid that an egg might fall on my head or the pig would start licking my face. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan because we finally saved enough money to build a shed and a henhouse. Now the animals sleep there without getting wet, and I don’t have them around my bed.

May 7, 2015 – Red-crested Turaco or Angolan Turaco (Tauraco erythrolophus)
Requested by: taylorrbranham
Found in the forests of Angola, these turacos eat mostly fruits, nuts, seeds, and occasionally some invertebrates. Their feathers contain copper-based pigments, unlike the feathers of most birds. They are social, usually found in flocks of up to 30. Males and females build loose twig nests and incubate the eggs together. The Red-crested Turaco is the national bird of Angola.
November 9, 2014 – Dilute Blue Pacific Parrotlet (Forpus Coelestis)
Requested by: cardiacserpent
This color mutation of the Pacific Parrotlet is also known as American White. It is a combination of the blue and the dilute mutations. Individual birds may vary from almost white with a slight blue cast, to a light blue color. They can be distinguished from Pastel or Marbled birds by the lack of lacy patterning on their wings. As in many parrotlet color mutations, males retain their eye, wing, and rump markings. Wild Pacific Parrotlets are found in Peru and Ecuador. They eat a variety of plant foods, including seeds, cactus, and berries. Also see the Blue Fallow Pacific Parrotlet.
