| Good point, Pat. Will add that to the list. I sat with Jeanne and bryan last night brainstorming and have about 8 topics to cover, LOL. Just posted article #3 this morning, more of an expose than an article, but I needed to get it out. http://www.examiner.com/bird-in-newark/volunteering-a-life-changing-experienceAnd thanks Roger. Its been fun and cathartic pumping these out. Autumn has always been a very creative season for me as a writer, so I take advantage where I can. | |

| Hey Vikki, don't know if you are still taking ideas for topics, but given the difficulties I am experiencing with Arthur, something about how to socialize a re-homed or rescued parrot for those of us too inept to figure it out on our own would be a god-send right now! As a rescue worker, the socialization thing has got to be something you are doing on a daily basis, so you would have lots of good insights I am sure! | |

| Definitely, that's a major task for us and takes up most of our time when we aren't cleaning and feeding. I will add that to the list and get it up there. I have a new one to post already today. | |
