A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Rex Williams and Bird
That is Col. Joe in the background, and it looks like Joy beside him.
I heard this story about Bird and sure wished I was there to see it.
My dad ended up giving that bird to Billy Rogers because the "feather dust' was hurting his lungs.
A little bit of time passed and my dad went to visit the bird. Bird excitedly ran up my dads arm and up to his head, just like he always did and then, Bird attacked him.
I miss my dad everyday. Thanks for posting his pictures.

That damn burd was a mean SOB. It attacked everybody encluding me.
ReplyDeleteIt attacked USDA inspectors, sponsors, friends......everybody but Rex.
You know I'd give anything to have that bird dive bomb me one more time. I still miss Rex.
