I am always amazed when I see pictures of the Rb's natural habitat, the Monte Desert (and nearby areas) in Patagonia. It's not the sort of habitat we usually associate with parrots!
Here are some looks at it. First, the map. Next is the arid plains and cacti, with low mountains in the background. Third is a closer look at the type of limestone bluffs in which they dig their nesting burrows. Fourth is a wild Rickeybird surveying his kingdom, kinda like my Rb does when he perches on the drapes in our livingroom.

That was an impressive look at the wilds of Patagonia.
As the tireless self-appointed archivist of this scrapbook I felt the duty to compile this reminder of previous posts which display the true nature of Patagonians in the WILD.

"High comedy" eh? As opposed to the low comedy provided by Capt. Thighbite and Salty? That's it - no more oartot puns. Don't be surrpised if you see comments by a Prof. Birdofski.

For those of you who DO speak French... the Scrapbook extends apologies for the abuse of a lovely Romance language.

I'm not sure you're entirely up to speed on hipsters these days. They prefer to ride regular bikes to save the environment and are vegan. Duh! Also they have long handlebar mustaches to go with thos beards.

Jim and I need a hipster tutorial, eh?

Let's sign up, Jim!

I dunno Desi..riding bicycles..makes it difficult for Rickeybirds to ride up to someone and steal their chili's and make a quick get away

Just back from our most recent three-week check-in for a blood panel as we're striving to titrate the Vasotec (Enalapril) to manage... A SEIZURE (in early May!) which was the first sign of trouble, and which alerted us to HYPOXIA/HEART DYSFUNCTION, which is indicated by a lab test which shows the HEMATOCRIT LEVEL.
Usual desirable hematocrit - 40-50%
Rb's previous levels - 58-63%
Today's level - 55%!
Our vet says he'd be happy with >52%, given the Rb's age.
So 3 weeks from now, we'll see.

I love that the Rb is getting so relaxed at the office. He used to be terrified; now he's just grouchy. He even preens and snacks and plays with toys, as he watches the door where the vet enters, exclaiming "No!" every now and then as he waits.

I'm more relaxed, too.

I promised the Rb I'd outlive him and see him out in style. I'm so grateful for our vet, and for this community!

 

[AmyMyBlueFront]

We all love RB Gail...and you too! You guys are the BEST :07: You too...Mr. R

[TiredOldMan]

Gail, Rival, and last but not least Rickeybird.

Keep it coming. Ya'll never fail to bring smiles and chuckles to me.

Thanks a whole heap!

 

[GaleriaGila]

Thank you, Major TOM!

It's therapy for all three of us, believe me!
