[peronkop]

How old is snowball and how old are you expecting him to become?

[BirdLoversOnly]

Snowball is 13 years old and can live to over 60 years of age.

I hope he lives a long life!

But wouldnt it mean that you would have to give him away if he gets that old?

[BirdLoversOnly]

That's exactly what that would mean. I would, however, be extremely careful as to who takes over as his guardian...as I would any other bird that I love.

"Mama...I wanna have some eggs!", screeches Snowball.

[harleydavison09]

[Maccamare]

We posted this on Jorie's board for you Irena!

[BirdLoversOnly]

Thanks! I didn't realize that Snowball was screeching for attention at the very beginning when I was making the eggs! He loves eggs!

[quelita28]

Is this show on cable, when will we see the episodes?

[BirdLoversOnly]

It has not been picked up on cable as of yet. Please contact Discovery to encourage them to pick this up on cable. It is online at Discovery News "Born Animal" at this point. This could be a very informative and especially entertaining weekly series.

Strange 2 see them eat eggs. Even though we had a parakeet that ate scrambled eggs. Very informative. Thanx!!

[Maccamare]

Hi Irena! Are you really doing this for the Discovery channel? I haven't chatted with you in a while. This is REALLY cute and interesting! I hope Snowball is still getting lots of great offers and is bringing in the bucks. Do you put anything ON the mashed potatoes or season them in any way? Thanks & take care!!

Love,

Auntie M

[BirdLoversOnly]

Yes, it's really for the Discovery channel. Sorry I haven't written in a while. I am forever biting off more than I can chew...but it keeps me out of trouble.

I really wish you lived closer to me! I would love to volunteer my time to help with all the birds! I'm in school to be a veterinarian and my focus is on avian/exotic medicine. If you know of any bird rescues in the Cincinnati area, would you mind letting me know?

[magicsoul50]

hey Irena im getting a macaw or a cockateil (same breed as snowball)and would you reccomend any special foods or treats?

[BirdLoversOnly]

Snowball is a cockatoo. Cockatiels are the smaller cousins to the cockatoos. The larger parrots require a diet consisting of a wide variety of foods such as fruits, veggies (raw or as close to raw as possible), nuts, pasta. NEVER feed birds junk foods such as chips, fries, sweets, salty foods, chocolate, cookies, etc. I hope you are adopting a bird since there are so many homeless birds in need of a good home.

[magicsoul50]

wow you are a true inspiration irena i almost cried at the last sentence :'). I wish you could send me a t-shirt of snowball but i could never get one because of credit card issues(none in family :l... Oh well i hope you and snowball can be happy together as long as you both live- todd

[MsGirlee]

that was great, the ending was hilarious!!

[dianaa94]

You feed your birds eggs?!

Hah. That's really weird.

[vylonxic]

whenever i have food in my room, my cockatiel sounds his alarm! If I don't give him any... he divebombs me. haha. I love birds.

[burntflybog]

My conures love to play and eat in a hollowed out watermelon and my grey adores semi-soft carrots.

[Flgaljane]

Mmmmm...regurgitated eggs, my favorite :P lol ... very informative, Irena!

[xazuross]

Parrots like those have the power to snap a broomstick in half?! I had no idea they were that strong! My Quaker parrot doesn't do much damage if she bites, she's made me bleed, that's about the worst though.

[mariapicot]

i am so glad that you showed mashed potatoe as my african grey loves it, i was worried i was giving her the wrong think and she loves eggs lol but it is so hard to keep her amused lol just to have peace i some times give her a whole corn on the cob :-))

[sharkboy214]

thats funny does she really throw the mash at you

[BirdLoversOnly]

I tried to capture the real thing on video, but there are actually a few birds, including Snowball, that toss their food at me AND THEN LAUGH!!!
