Albino whitetail fawns were born at the DeYoung Zoo in Wallace, MI. The owners saved them from predators and hand feed them. They are friendly and love to be around people. It is also a great teaching opportunity for children (and adults) who never get to see these majestic animals. They are so sweet!

Once again, Hillary is in need of help with those pesky emails! Perfect solution, hire a paper shredding parrot. Cheap, fast, organic labor. They can be messy, so she'll have to hire a maid too. Haha. All in fun. This is Loki the white bellied caique having fun. Enjoy.

Loki the white bellied caique loves pistachios. Parrots are often called hookbills, which is an avicultural term based on the shape of the beak or bill. This distinguishes parrots from softbills and other birds, such as doves and finches. The function of the parrot beak is for climbing, as well as manipulating and crushing objects. They can multitask by carrying objects in their beaks and climb to different locations. Their tongues are used to manipulate their food inside their bill. Although their tongues may look unimpressively blobby, parrots are unusual among birds in having muscles in their tongue, like we do. Most birds don't have muscles in the front third of their tongue at all. Loki demonstrates all of this very well and imitates a "nutcracker". So amazing!!

In this goat sanctuary they have a nursery for the mamas and their babies. Lots of play time for these new babies. They are spoiled, loved and very happy. Goats are the best!!

Cooper and Stevi are best friends and play together all the time. Here is one of the occassions when Cooper gets the zoomies and its hilarious!!

Loki is a white bellied caique and Willie is a green Quaker. They act just like siblings, being sweet to each other one minute and then fighting over a notebook the next. Loki is bigger and older and usually wins the little squabbles. In the video, Loki uses his foot to win this one, then starts to laugh!

Loki the white bellied caique is very curious. While searching around the bathroom he discovered a little mirror. He has seen himself in a mirror before, but this one is a magnifying mirror. He wasn't too sure what to think of it. He was enjoying the different angle if his cute face!

Adventures of Cooper the Australian cattle dog! He loves to swim; in ponds, lakes, pools, wherever! But he must get dried off too. If you are holding a towel, he will walk up to you and push his butt against you and wait to be dried off. He even does this in the house, when he's not even wet!! He is a funny dog.

Loki the white bellied caique is comical. When he is mad or scared of something he postures and puffs up to look bigger and scarier. Here he is asserting his masculine dominance over a clippers in the bathroom. He thinks he looks tough, but I think he just looks cute and funny!!

Trump is in the fight of a lifetime. He needs us to stay strong and keep faith that he can win this rigged election. We hung this flag up over a year ago. It has been through storms, rain, hail, snow, and hot sun. It may look ragged and that it should be time for a new one. But this flag represents everything Trump has been through and yet is still here, still sending a message, still strong! I will not replace this flag, ever!! I am mighty proud of this ragged ol flag!!

The pileated woodpecker is a big, dashing bird with a flaming crest, the largest woodpecker in North America (except the Ivory-bill, which is almost certainly extinct). Excavating deep into rotten wood to get at the nests of carpenter ants, the Pileated leaves characteristic rectangular holes in dead trees. This species became rare in eastern North America with clearing of forests in centuries past, but has gradually increased in numbers again since about the beginning of the 20th century. Where unmolested, it even lives in parks and woodlots around the edges of large cities. This beauty showed up at a bird feeder in Wisconsin.

Adventures of Cooper the Australian cattle dog. This time he is chasing the birds away to protect us all. He keeps looking in the window to check and see if we are still watching and to let us know the coast is clear. When he jumps up on the window, Rigby the boss, scolds him! (Our dogs have a doggy door and can come and go as they please, he is not asking to come inside.) Entertainment for all of us watching!!

Cooper the Australian cattle dog absolutely loves the snow. He was in heaven after this big snow storm in the Northwoods of Wisconsin.

Yellow lab named Mojo is so sweet and gentle. He fathered 15 puppies with a poodle. They are called labradoodles. He plays with and watches over all of them. Here you can see how he just lays there while they climb all over him, loving every minute. I think he will miss them when they all go to their new homes!

This adopted parrot found a home where he was loved by a little girl and he became bonded to her.

Even though Loki the white bellied caique and Willie the green quaker are not the same species of parrot they are still in love with each other. Well, at least they act like it. The only way you can tell if parrots are male or female is to have them DNA tested. Loki is and he is a male. Willie isn't and we do not know for sure what he is. Even if he turns out to be a she...these two can never have babies together. But they are best friends non the less and love to groom each other and snuggle. They are a cute pair!!

This gorgeous crustacean is called a Watermelon Fiddler Crab due to its unique coloration which resembles, you guessed it, that of a watermelon! Fiddler crabs make up approximately 100 species of semi-terrestrial marine crabs that are distinguished by their own over-sized claw positioned opposite to a tinier, meeker-looking claw. Fiddler crabs get their names from the movement of the smaller claw to the animal’s mouth when eating – it looks like the smaller claw is playing the larger one, just like a fiddle! Watermelon Fiddler Crabs , like other fiddler crabs, use their big claw in ritualized combat during courtship of a female by signaling their intentions to other crabs. A large claw may be lost in battle, but no matter because these guys are able to regrow a new claw after their next molt. The process is a little odd however, because the new, larger claw will actually form from the original small claw (it will just increase in size) and the lost claw will become the small claw. The big claw basically switches sides if lost. Either way, a big claw is a big claw!

Loki is a 12 yr old white bellied caique. Caiques are known for clowning around. Loki likes to hang upside down and play. His owners bounce him up and down and he loves it. He beaks at her hand to try to do more. He bounces around himself too. He imitates clicking and whistling noises. When he is using his beak on her hands, he is gentle and it doesn't hurt. So comical!

Sitting around a Campfire is a summertime favorite. My grandfather used to put copper in it to make beautiful long lasting colorful flames. When you don't have any copper pipes laying around you can improvise and throw in an old string of Christmas lights. My kids love it.

Cooper the Australian cattle dog can be very dramatic at times. For some reason, when his owners place their hand on his back he trots through the kitchen, to the livingroom and flops to the ground. He loves this game and likes to do it over and over. He's so cute!

Cooper the Australian cattle dog and Stevi the jack russell are best of friends. They wrestle and play all the time. They also snuggle and groom each other. Cooper was licking and chewing on her ears but she was squirming too much so he put his foot on her head to hold her down. She didn't really mind at first. Then she had enough and got out of the headlock! They are quite the pair.

Lilacs are beautiful and smell amazing. They are also food for many species. The tiger swallowtail butterfly is one of them. So amazing.

Adventures of Cooper the Australian cattle dog. He jumps and bites at a balloon and keeps it in the air. He even does a back flip once trying to get it! Then he pops it and gets sad. He's so funny!

Proud to be an American. Trump is working hard for us to stay free. The American flag represents so much for many people and deserves respect and admiration. Trump 2020. Get out and vote.

A beautiful summer day in Wisconsin turns into a crazy beautiful electrical storm and it's power was caught on video.
