At present time she is divorced andquote from her married anddivorced more time than I like to

admit. However; a proud parent oftwo daughters, Jolina, a Computer

Programmer for Martin CountySchools, who is married and has

blessed Bonny with two beautifulgrand-daughters and Sheri, who is aMedic for the United States Air

Force and was just married inAugust of 2012 to her high school

sweetheart.

Bonnys father (now semi-retired)was a dragline operator who she

credits for her love of animals. He

was part of developing Port St.Lucie when there was nothing therebut woods and would bring home all

kinds of critters that he found injuredand/or orphaned. This brought her

to having and caring for opossums,squirrels, raccoons, snakes, calves,

horses - you get the picture.

However, with all these critters, her

parents would not let her have abird. So, at the age of 13 she

started saving her babysittingmoney for a cockatiel. There was a

lady that lived a few blocks awaythat raised cockatiels and Bonny

frequently visited her and was

making plans to bring home a babybird. Her Mother put her foot downand said NO. As time goes on her

Mother thinks if she would have lether have one in her childhood then

maybe she wouldnt have the flockof 28 currently residing with her.

Bonnys first birding experience wasin 1986 when she rescued (so she

thought) a fledging Mockingbird.She raised it on crickets and worms,

releasing it as soon as it was oldenough. She was blessed with daily

visits for a while after releasing it. In2004 she signed on as a volunteer

Judy Morin

Can you believe, we really have a native Floridian in our

mist! Bonny is a fourth generation of her family to beborn and raised in Fort Pierce. In fact, she owns thesame house her parents brought her home from the

hospital to. At present time and for 24 1/2 years shehas worked for the City of Fort Pierce.

Ok. This is it! Expo Day is here again.

As I write this on Sunday (3-3) Jim

and I are on our way to Sebring,

Florida to an outdoor Bird Expo. Well

pass out flyers and hopefully line up

a few more vendors.

This is the part I worry about the

most, having just the right amount of

vendors. I dont want any empty

spaces. Weve had a good response

so far, but we are not sold out yet.

Jim & I visited the Martin County

Fairgrounds yesterday during the

Home & Garden Show. Theyve made

some improvements to the entrance

area, kitchen area and our hospitalityroom. However in doing so they

enclosed 3 vendor spaces (that I had

already sold!). This means our Silent

Auction table will be moved into the

same room as our Rafe Table. The

Club Table will stay where it was last

year. The Hospitality Room will be

where it has always been.

Here are a few suggestions for Expo

Day. Wear comfortable shoes. If you

are bringing a food container to the

Hospitality Room that you want

returned to you, please stick an

address label on the bottom. If you

have a cell phone and are

volunteering, Judy Morin has a list of

key members and our boys that are

helping. Its easier to call each other

than trying to find each other. Email

or call Judy to have your name and

number added to the list and ask her

for a copy on Expo Day. The

Hospitality Room is open to Vendors

and Club members. Please make sure

you stay hydrated and take time for

lunch. If you want to buy a Club T-

shirt to wear (and we do like all of

our volunteers wearing them) they

will be on sale at the Club Table.

I want to thank everyone in advance

for your hard work and generosity.

We have had some wonderful

donations. Make sure you check out

the beautiful crewel and cross-stitch

bird pictures on the Silent Auction

table, donated by Club member June

Marsh. Thanks again June!

Please continue to spread the word

about our Expo either word of mouth,

Facebook, or handing out flyers. Im

hoping this will be our best attended

yet.

At this time we still need volunteers. I

have a lot of empty spaces on our

Sign Up sheet. Please call me if youknow you would like to volunteer.

From 6 to 10 pm is the best time to

contact me.

Also, remember that we will not be

having a March Meeting. Our April

Meeting will be a covered dish

celebration of the Expo. Also if you

havent marked your calendar yet

make sure you mark the 3rd Sunday in

May for our May Meeting on May 19th.

Before I close I want to welcome

Margo Carfano to our Board. We

always appreciate new members to

the Board. Also I want to thank

Charlene Brennan and her terrific

Showbirdz for their performance at

the February meeting. It was really

fun to see them act up and show o

like naughty children.

I will close for now. Everyone needsto pray for good weather. We finished

walking around the outdoor Expo. All

the vendors were bundled up &

couldnt get warm. We dont want

that to happen to us.

Hope to see everyone at the Expo!

MEMBER OF THE MONTH - BONNY ARNOLD -(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)

for a local wildlife rehabilitator and

learned how to feed a wild orphaned

Ring Neck Dove that was just days old.

Thats all it took - she was hooked, and

loved hand raising birds! Thinking she

could make a few extra bucks breeding

birds and hand raising the babies to

sell, she started with a breeder pair of

Blue Indian Ring Neck Parakeets. After

hand feeding the first clutch of four, she

knew it would be very hard for her to

sell the babies because she loved them

too much. She kept going on, adding

Parakeets, Cockatiels,Lovebirds and a

pair of Military Macaws, selling thebabies and suffering with the loss of

each one. When she began to run into

someone that bought a baby from her,

and was excited to hopefully find out

how it was doing, became despondent

hearing the standard, it flew out the

window, or I couldnt handle it

anymore and gave it away, she changed

gears and started rescuing.

Here is where Gonzo, the naked

Maroon Bellied Conure rescued from

an exotic animal auction, Bud the very

loud Nanday Conure discarded because

he was too noisy, the Greys, Tootsie and

Booboo who were mutilated by their

parents, and the ultimate reason,

Honey, the female Eclectus that no

longer matched the living room decor

came to be with Bonny. Not to forget

Lucky, Blue & Gold Macaw that hadalmost every bone in his body broken

and left to heal that way...so the l ist

goes on and on.

Of the 28 birds that Bonny shares her

life with, 22 are rescues. They have the

Florida Room, which connects to a

patio thats been converted to an aviary.

This allows them a flight space of 45

feet. With all the work that goes into

taking care of these feathered friends,

(almost the entire weekend for

cleaning, etc.) Bonny says, It has

become such an integral part of my life

that when I am not at work, I find

myself at home birding, and would not

change it for the world.

taken to enjoy themselves outdoors in

a relatively safe manner without therisk of flying away. Parrots are prey

animals and even the tamest pet may fly

off if spooked.

Although parrots can be messy pets,

often throwing food and damaging

furniture with their beaks if they can,most parrots may be potty trained to

some extent and are generally

odorless; however, certain species of

Amazons and Pionus have a distinctive

odor most owners find pleasant. Most

parrot species, with some notable

exceptions, are relatively good pets for

most pet allergy sufferers. However, all

the species of white Cockatoos

produce large quantities of dust from

their powder down feathers, which may

be problematic for people with

allergies. Cockatiels, rose-breasted

cockatoos, and African Greys also

produce smaller amounts of feather

dust. (Continued on Page 6)

Householdsettings

A pet Fischer's Lovebird just out of

reach of a young childWhile many parrot species do well

with well-behaved children, and canbe excellent family pets, they are

generally not a good child'spet dueto their potential lifespan and care

required. Parrots require consistentdaily care and attention and are also

longer lived than most othercompanion animals. Lifespans

range from around 15 years for abudgie or lovebird, to 2030 yearsfor a cockatiel or small conure, up to

80 to 100 years for Amazons andMacawsalthough a more

reasonable lifespan for largerparrots is estimated at 5060 years.

Additionally, a young child couldunintentionally injure a small birdsuch as a budgie; some parrots

unaccustomed to children may findthe high energy level and noise of a

young child threatening and maybite. Parrots that have been raised

and socialized around children froma young age typically do muchbetter with children than parrots who

are introduced to children at a laterage. Households that are suitable

for pet parrots are said to be "bird-safe".

Companion parrot is a generalterm used for any parrot kept as a

pet that interacts abundantly with itshuman counterpart. Generally, most

species of parrot can make goodcompanions.

Species of parrots that are kept ascompanions include large parrots

such as Amazons, African Greys,Cockatoos, Eclectus, Hawk-headedParrots, and Macaws; mid-sized

birds such as Caiques, Conures,Quakers, Pionus, Poicephalus,

Rose-ringed parakeets, andRosellas, and many of the smaller

types including Brotogeris, Budgies,

Cockatiels, Parakeets, Lovebirds,Parrotlets and Lineolated Parakeets.

Some species of lories and lorikeetsare kept as pets but are quite

messy, and often more popular asaviary birds. Hanging parrots, and

Fig parrots are normally kept asaviary birds and not as pets. Some

species as Pygmy parrots andKakapos, Night Parrots, and about

half of the species of parrotlet, arenot considered companion parrotsdue to difficult dietary requirements

or unavailability.

The Convention on International

Trade in Endangered Species ofWild Faunaand Flora(also known

as CITES) has made the trappingand trade of all wild parrots illegal,

because taking parrots from the wildhas endangered or reduced some ofthe rarer or more valuable species.

However, many parrot species arestill common; some abundant parrot

species may still be legally killed as

crop pests in their native countries.Endangered parrot species arebetter suited to conservationbreeding programs than as

companions.

Maintenance

Black-headed Caiquein its cageWith the right home parrots have thepotential to make excellent, highly

interactive, affectionate, and

entertaining pets prized by theirowners, but should not beconsidered easy care or low-maintenance pets. Tame companion

parrots require daily attention andinteraction with their owners, and

need to be housed in a cage at leastlarge enough to allow the bird to

spread its wings and move aboutcomfortably. Companion parrotsalso need to be fed a diet that

includes fresh vegetables and fruits,and a smaller amount of seeds and

grains; dietary requirements varywith species and activity level. Other

elements essential to a companionparrot's well-being includeappropriate toys to chew up and

play with; veterinary care; and socialtime out of the cage whenever

possible preferably on playgymsor other out-of-cage perches. The

larger parrots can be expensive tocare for, messy, destructive, andloud, and some individuals may

exhibit some aggressive behaviorsduring adolescence. Like dogs,

parrots require some amount ofbasic training and proper early

socialization to mature into goodcompanions. Their intelligencemeans parrots learn new behaviors

both good and bad easily.Some birds end up having to be re-

homed because their owners did notrealize the level of care required

when they purchased the bird, or didnot understand how to properly

socialize and train their bird.

As pets

A pet juvenile White-bellied Caique

wearing a harness out-of-doorsParrots can be very rewarding pets

to the right owners, due to theirintelligence and desire to interact

with people. Many parrots are veryaffectionate, even cuddly withtrusted people, and require a lot of

attention from their owners. Somespecies have a tendency to bond to

one or two people, and dislikestrangers, unless they are regularly

and consistently handled bydifferent people. Properly socializedparrots can be friendly, outgoing and

confident companions. Most petparrots take readily to trick training.

Trick training can also help to

redirect a bird's energy and preventor correct many behavior problems.Some owners successfully use wellbehaved parrots as therapy animals.

Some owners have trained theirparrots to wear parrot harnesses

(most easily accomplished withyoung birds) so that they can be
