By Ted Grussing What a fun day … on the way down to Phoenix we stopped by Turf Soaring to say hi to friends and had a somewhat uncertain greeting from Bee Bop, Roy’s Cockatoo. Memories of being terrorized by Bee Bop flooded back as she started tapping the perch and sharpening her talons … she seemed a little different today … Gary who owns the soaring operation there drove up and Bee Bop became a little anxious and as he approached us on the deck she began to display for him spreading her head feathers like a royal crown…
