Human-Avian Interactions

Not much of a post, but I thought I’d break radio silence on this blog to post a link to this “anthropological analysis of companion parrots”:http://www.psyeta.org/sa/sa11.4/anderson.shtml as part of my longstanding (and long dormant!) interest in human-animal interactions which I found via “Tracks”:http://timothyjpmason.com/wordpress/. In other news I’m working my way — slowly — through Rebecca Cassidy’s “Sport of Kings”:http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN052100487X&id=A-QYXw9Wl9YC&pg=PA1&lpg=PA1&dq=sport+of+kings&sig=HqaMihlGyD04O7ioDGQkBHnQDUQ which is not, I think, quite as interesting to an American audience as it is an English one. Nevertheless it does grow on you, and the bit on fashion amongst established families is quite good.

Ok, back to work.
