Birds Go Nuts for Peanut Butter
Copyright (c) 2008-2012 Andy Perrin
Part of the attraction at Leeds Castle is the Aviary. The Hon. Olive, Lady Baillie had a passion for birds and started to introduce her collection of exotic birds back in 1957. In 1988 the present aviary with its 48 irregularly shaped hexagon flights was opened and they have had many notable successes breeding rare birds. The Aviary is run by Laura Gardner (Curator of Birds) and her team.
Amongst the many species is a pair of beautiful Macaws. They were happily incubating two eggs when disaster struck! The nesting box fell down and the eggs were abandoned! So the eggs were put in one of the incubators and Laura’s staff set about finding supplies of suitable food for the young chicks.
They were surprised and delighted to find that The Exotic Food and Spice Company, based in Chatham, actually made pure peanut butter.
“The humble peanut has great nutritional value for birds as well as humans,” said Laura, “It has good quality protein and oils which birds need. By using it in the form of peanut butter we can feed the chicks with a syringe. Most supermarket brands have additives.
Veggie Perrin’s is the only one we have found made only from peanuts and the company is virtually on our doorstep!” Veggie Perrin’s real peanut butter is sold mainly throughout the Southeast, but has found fame as far north as Scotland. A 300g tub costs just £1.49.You can now order your Peanut Butter from www.veggieperrinsonline.co.uk
Leeds Castle and Grounds are open most of the year. To gain admission you will need to purchase a ‘Key’. This key gives you unlimited access to the castle and grounds (including the Aviary), except for a few days listed on the web-site, for a whole year! And you only pay once. Once you have visited the place you will see why they call it the most beautiful castle in the world and you will want to go back time and time again.

Quarter Horse seems like a strange name for an animal, but only
until you understand that Quarter horses are able to run a
quarter mile faster than any other horse can run the same
distance (in some situations, a Quarter Horse has been recorded
at over 50 miles per hour while running at full speed), then its
given name makes good sense.

The documentation of ancient plums growing in antiquity is
sparse. The best evidence of that oldest existence is best
documented through America's most famous pomologist, Luther
Burbank, who reported in his twelve volume botanical literary
classic, Small Fruits, Volume IV page 136, that the European
plum, Prunus domestica, and its ancestor fruit originated in the
Caucasus Mountains near the Caspian Sea.

The rose has long been a favorite flower of many women, but is it
the favorite flower of Christina Aguilera? The truth is, I
don't know, but judging by the elaborate floral chuppah of
brightly colored orange, yellow, and burgundy roses
conspicuously present at her wedding and the thick bouquets of
hot pink roses and rose petals surrounding her wedding cake,
it's a sure bet the rose ranks high on Aguilera's list of
favorite flowers.

The first time I saw the Northern Lights, I was leaning over the
steering wheel of a dusky purple 1977 Chevy Nova on a northern
highway near midnight, trying to roll down the driver's side
window to get a better fix on it during my holiday, even as my
passenger was shouting to be heard over the ghostly radio voices
fading in and out. Within seconds it multiplied and changed
colors, soaring over us like an exploding rainbow. Nature's
primal postcard, my holiday highlight delivered free.

Some animal behaviourists that study bears declare that there is
no such thing as a bear that stalks humans. Others insist that
based on forensic evidence, there is indeed such an animal,
whether humans have inadvertently created it, the behaviour is
taught to her cubs by a sow, or it's simply born an opportunist.
To help you decide, this story describes a prime example of a
predator bear, the most dangerous of all.
