BirdBrain 06/04 11:10am	I’m hoping someone here can help me. I’m trying to buy a pet bird for my husband – his b-day is next month. Turning 47. Hard to believe, time flies so fast the older we get. He’s always enjoyed bird exhibits at various zoos we’ve visited over the years. Can someone please recommend a pet bird, that takes minimal care, that he can have at his office. Because he travels for business, a bird that can go for days without eating would be preferable. Unfortunately his Secretary just quit so until Herb finds a replacement, there won’t be someone to look after the bird everyday. Many thanks.

How long is your husband gone on business trips? If it’s a day or two any bird should be okay. However, if he’s gone for any time longer, than you should probably consider another pet. Perhaps an ant farm?

After all, how would you explain how birds in the wild do it after a snow has fallen and all of the insects have gone into hibernation for the Winter? I’ve decided I’m going to run by the pet store today and pick him up three birds. That way they won’t be lonely when Herb is away.
