Even though I know all the details, I still cried like a baby watching that. They really did an excellent job. Just think how wonderful the followup story will be. Thanks for sharing the video.

Thanks so much for posting.
Oh, how I hope every person in San Antonio was watching this, and specially the person who has Maggie.
She has to be back tomorrow, I hope!

Great job they did. Nobody could watch that and not want to help! I believe it's just a matter of time. Positive thoughts tonight :)

I shared the written article on my Facebook page because I have family in Oklahoma that can get the share ball rolling too. Hoping that Maggie comes home really soon!

Different network. Second interview.

Here's the funny part. They set up the cameras, and my birds just immediately STOPPED what they were doing and sat there.

I can usually get Kiwi all wound up just by face to face beak wrestling, which was what I was trying to do in the part they aired. HARDLY ANY REACTION AT ALL (FOR HER!) Normally she'd be talking up a storm, and upside down playing tug of war with my nose... Which is actually really funny to see. I was hoping I could give them footage of that.

And of course, no one talked. In fact, Sweepea flew to the other side of the room, away from the camera...

The minute she left, of course, they went back to talking up a storm, and playing...

Excellent news feature! Sorry they pulled a WB Frog on you, Mark, but the love you have for your flock definitely came across.

Thank you for sharing the video, Grace. Much appreciated.

They did a great job on the story! So glad they did the right thing and decided to run it. I'm thinking and praying for you and Maggie every day, Mark.

Whats a WB Frog

You don't remember the old Warner Brother's Cartoon about the guy who finds the magical singing frog... who only sings for him... for everyone else he just sits there.

And everyone thinks he's crazy?

And it slowly ruins his life...
