We love your birds, but please don't bring them to our meetings. We usually have a bird of the month already attending. Thanks!

Scary Bird Attack: Hawk vs Cockatoo (and Human)
This is how fast it can happen. Always be alert when outdoors with your bird!
CQ. CQ. This is KL2OA calling any station...
TABC extends a big Thank You to the Anchorage Ameteur Radio Club for the classes
they held in September. Club members Leanna Rein, Garry Wallan, Cindy Welbourne and Greg Wilkie took the classes, passed their test
and are now licensed Technician Class amateur radio operators!
This is another step in our Five Year Emergency Preparedness Plan and dovetails with the portable
HAM radios our club was able to purchase with funds from the Petfinder.com Disaster Prepardness Grant!

NEW EDITION: The Parrot Enrichment Activity Book
Brand new updated Second Edition!
Created by Kris Porter here in Alaska, this is a free
book for all parrot owners. The book touches on toy making, types of toys, different
toy materials, individual parrot preferences, shredders, refillable, foraging toys, food
kabobs, even how to make fun and easy play gyms from PVC. It is an excellent resource, full
of good suggestions and ideas to get your creative juices flowing. Print out a copy and share
it with your friends, or keep it in your personal library, it will come in very handy!
Our newsletter and web site need Birds of the Month, and you don't even
