Posted on July 18, 2025 By Sister Rain

Piper loves a plastic bag so a 310″ long , 7″ wide strip of plastic packing material sends him into a frenzy. I wrap it all around his play area (aka most of the living room) so that he can push and pull it until it falls to the floor….

This Some-Body Is A Some-Birdy

Posted on July 11, 2025 By Sister Rain

I read a quote that said “The reason why you feel so connected to your pets is because they were originally meant to be your children but there were no human bodies available when they incarnated so they came through in the form they could, just to be near you…

Born and raised a Philadelphia Phillies fan, I was in elementary school when the Phanatic moved from the Galápagos Islands to become the mascot for the team in 1978.  Many people have pointed out that Piper has the same coloring as the Phanatic, green feathers with blue on their heads….

“Sometimes you are a big fish in a little pond. Sometimes you are a 12” bird in a 40” box. Either way, it is up to you to decide how long you remain where you are.” —- Sister Rain   #sisterrain  #alittlesightalotofheart #piper #birdmom  #conure #parrot #bird #conuresofinstagram #parrotsofinstagram #birdsofinstagram…

I never had a human child but as a youngster myself I remember being warned, more than once, about never putting a plastic bag over my head. Piper loves plastic bags. Always supervised, I sometimes allow him to play with them. And so when he climbed down my arm to…

Picking Up The Peanuts

Posted on June 6, 2025 By Sister Rain

Piper loves to throw things on the floor. Knowing mom or dad will pick them up, he only does it when we are close by.  With that in mind, I thought it would be a good idea to dump a box full of packing peanuts on the table for Piper…

If you think Piper is not excited and proud to be perched in his new carrier, you are mistaken. Purchased specifically to make it easier for his veterinarian to remove him to be examined at his annual check-up (the old one presented some challenges), Piper liked his new travel gear…
