Aloha Tom!
What a wonderful, fact filled journal! Keep up the excellent work of reporting, it is fascinating!
I noticed in a few of your pictures, you are holding birds. In wonderment I think, 'Isn't he afraid of getting poked, razored, or bitten?' Tell the truth now, are you wearing any protection against the birds' very sharp beaks? What tricks do you use so that the birds don't getcha?
warmly, Maggie
