Thank you, Jan, I enjoyed this and learned so much! I was thinking as I read that your writing is informative and fun, and about topics I care about. Did you mention once that you had written a book? I apologize for not remembering.

No I have not written a book. I have only started writing with this blog that turned one year old this week.

Wonderful post. Thank you. I read somewhere long ago, that amateur archeologist/ rancher Richard Wetherill entered a Pueblo village in NM in late 1800’s where there was still a macaw that spoke and even called some people by name. Maybe another reason they were revered.

This was so interesting, thank you. And I had no idea how huge the feathers can be! No wonder that are so valuable; how wonderful of you to donate Morgan’s.
