Maturing Cockatiels and Christians There were years when I raised birds, hand-feeding them so they would grow up to be more easily trainable as pets.

Interesting Birds – Hoatzin
The Birds of the Bible usually cover the birds specifically mentioned by name in the Bible, but because of variation within the “kinds”, I decided to start covering some of their “Relatives.” The latest DNA-DNA and other testing have put the Hoatzin in the Cuckoo (Cuculiformes-cuckoos and relatives) family, but that data is being questioned … Continue reading
