Well, what a great turnout and huge success at the TASC expo. This was probably the most informative of them all considering who was there. If you wanted to just shop for supplies, food or cages for your feathered friend this was the chance to get it. Dr. Sakas, DVM and Dr. Ness, DVM were there to help with avian health questions. Jason Crean and Patricia Sund were there for nutritional seminars, Lara Joseph gave a great talk on training. Other speakers also were in attendance to give all of us more understanding of what to do to keep our companion birds well, healthy and happy.<br />

I am working on a site - EXOTICS OF THE WORLD - A place to go for sharing and learning. Information will be added as we receive it by those writers around the world who would like to contribute. Family Friendly is the main criteria. Anyone who is wanting to share information about exotic animals whether walking, slithering, swimming, or flying, is invited. If you know of anyone, spread the world. The website will be <a href="http://www.exoticsoftheworld.com/">www.exoticsoftheworld.com</a> The site is live, but far from finished. Content must be added and links created. This is very time consuming, but this on going and ever growing project will never be complete. Comments and suggestions are invited using this email: companionbirdworld@gmail.com This is a temporary email as the one for the new site is not set up. The two sites will have some similarities, as they are meant to compliment each other. Help make this project a success. Be a part of something great for the world of exotics from the human viewpoint.<br />
Till next time,<br />

Diet seems to be top on our list of concern for our companion feathered friends. All I can say is read what these people have to say. They seem to know what they are talking about. After all, they have the credentials and experience.<br />

<br />
Some of us have become a mentor to another.<br />
Some of us have found our calling.<br />
Some of us have even gone so far as to pay it forward.<br />
Some of us have protested.<br />
Some of us have rioted.<br />
Some of us have found the wrong way.<br />
Some of us have found the right way.<br />
Some of us have found a new life with another person.<br />
Some of us have found a new purpose.<br />
Some of us have found a new religion.<br />
Some of us have completely changed our way.<br />
<br />
Whatever you have done, let it be for the good of humanity, our world and all of the people and animals on the planet.<br />
<br />
Remember, goodness and goodwill starts with us. Spread this and you will start a movement. <br />

Will you help?<br />

Finally. Can you believe that Christmas will soon be here? And then the New Year celebration.<br />
Speak of Christmas, I don't always identify with all of the religious holidays around the world but I want to say that my thoughts and prayers are with all of our readers no matter what country you are in and no matter your religion. May the end of 2014 and the beginning of 2015 bring safety, health and peace to all.<br />
<br />
While reading this, please give thought to everyone who has less and please make it a point to give of yourself instead of take for yourself. This has been a trying year for everyone and we can only hope that the year coming up will bring more prosperity to those who deserve to have better in their lives. Perhaps those who have the majority of wealth will find it in themselves to share some of it with those most in need.<br />
<br />
So much for this rambling. Remember, we can only give what we are willing to give and we can only receive what is freely presented to us.<br />
<br />
Talk again soon,<br />

Most of the pets that come to Helping Strays need very basic medical care. Spay or neuter, vaccines and parasite screening and prevention are generally all that is required. Sometimes, though, a pet arrives injured or ill. Many medical problems are treatable and the pet, once healed, can live a normal, full and happy life. Sometimes the injuries and medical conditions are extensive and very costly to treat. Orphaned puppies and kittens also need extra help,The Pet-In-Need Fund is used exclusively for expenses involved in treating the injured, ill, abused and orphaned animals who make their way to Helping Strays.The Pet-In-Need Fund allows us to take in these animals and provide the treatment they so desperately need.</div>

Ranging from burns and broken bones, through heartworm treatment and eye surgery, Pet-In-Need gets cats and dogs with treatable problems on the road to health and a permanent, loving home. Often, several animals will be enrolled in PIN simultaneously. In 2013, 13 pets were helped by the Pet-In-Need Fund. We have already surpassed that in 2014.</div>

Again, I invite those of you who have something to share on our publication to contact us. I am glad to provide a "Landing Page", a "Library" for your articles and a direct link to your blog or website. Just contact us and let us know. <br />
Information to everyone is the best thing that can happen for our feathered friends. Be they Companion, Rescue or Wild, education is the only way we can help them.<br />
Please don't be afraid of allowing your knowledge to be given to others. All of us have something to learn and it is the responsibility of all of us to share information for the betterment of the Avian World.<br />
Thank you for listening to my rant..<br />

Christmas is over and we not have the New Year to look forward to. Along with the new year, we all will have a great adventure ahead of us. Plan your route and keep to the trail if at all possible. Seek that which will bring peace and goodness to all and let the past be just that. Look to the future and what we can do to make it better for all and then make the commitment to do whatever you can to see the best come to pass. Remember, only you can prevent the past from repeating it's self.<br />
Happy New Year<br />

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">NEW HOUR-LONG MOVIE,
“LIFE WITH ALEX” <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Grey Parrot Studios</span></i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> is proud to announce the release of
its new movie, “<i>Life with Alex</i>.”
Produced in association with <i>The Alex
Foundation</i>, created by long-term Pepperberg lab manager Arlene Levin-Rowe,
and directed by Emily Wick, this 55-minute memoir </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">is a
compelling tribute to the famous African Grey parrot known as Alex. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Whereas the
popular book “<i>Alex & Me</i>” (Harper
Collins) details the relationship between Dr. Irene Pepperberg and Alex from
Irene’s point of view, “<i>Life with Alex”</i></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> offers an
up-close glimpse into Alex’s world, with never-before-released footage of Alex
using meaningful human speech to convey his daily thoughts and feelings.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> We see </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Alex and
his colleagues -- Dr. Irene Pepperberg, Arlene Levin-Rowe, their student
assistants, and fellow Grey parrots <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Griffin</st1:city></st1:place>
and Arthur -- as they open a window for us into an unprecedented world of
non-human cognition and learning.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dr. Irene
Pepperberg has spent the past 35 years studying parrot intelligence. Curious about how non-human brains work and
what different creatures think about their world, she chose to work with
African Grey parrots, because they could use elements of human language. “Getting
into the minds of these animals is critical,” explains Dr. Pepperberg. Her main
subject was Alex, purchased in 1977 from an ordinary pet store in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Chicago</st1:city></st1:place>. In the 30 years
they worked together, <br />
Dr. Pepperberg and her feathered “colleague” showed a frequently disbelieving
world that parrots were not the bird-brains many thought they were. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

highlight of the film, of course, is Alex.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Whether saying goodnight to Irene (“You be good, I
love you.”), coaching fellow parrot <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Griffin</st1:city></st1:place>,
or creating his own vocabulary, we see Alex’s mind in action. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">We learn
about the daily life, relationships, and accomplishments of the bird who
changed forever what we know about how animals think. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Pepperberg discusses her discoveries and her fight for credibility; we discover
what she learned from Alex, and how she learned it. As Dr. Pepperberg notes, “We share the world
with these creatures” and “We need to understand them.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One of
Arlene Levin-Rowe’s goals was “to share what it’s like to work every day with
an animal who can speak.” As viewers watch Arlene describe her 10 years as lab
manager, they will come to appreciate why this amazing bird’s “colleagues” felt
it was an honor to work with him. Alex passed away on September 6, 2007,
prematurely, at the age of 31. The DVD was released in September 2012, in honor
of the fifth anniversary of Alex’s passing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I am finding there are "glitches" in WordPress that don't seem to have a work-a-round. I know that eventually I will have the new site finished, but the fact that there is so much content makes the creation more involved. But, I will hang in there and hope that our readers will continue to return to the old site until the new one is live. Spread the work about us and also contact us with any suggestions you may have that could help. And as always, if you have something to give to the world of birds, please let us know.<br />
