New Toys

We have reorganized our store website for retail items and have loaded more new bird toys. I am inn the process of taking photos of birds next to the toys so it is easy to tell how big the toy is. Here is a link http://www.thepurringparrot.com/0003dp30blg0076/categories.asp?cat=26
We have also sold 2 vacation videos and have samples on them on our youtube channel

Patrick has been working on establishing petcams so people can log in to see their fids while away. we just have one camera up now and hope to have more up soon but he has to figure out the whole encoding thing so it isn't publicly viewed.
Our birdie breads are starting to get some followers as well as our seed mix.
Bookings have been a little quiet before the holidays but we just see this as an opportunity to improve our services and work on more of the retail end. We are booked in the aviary and almost booked for cat rooms for Thanksgiving. We still have openings in the aviary for birds over Christmas but cat rooms are booked with a waiting list.
Still trying to start a facebook page, maybe by this weekend or after Turkey day.
We also applied to try and get on ABC's Sharktank show.
