So I read a story this morning about a Parrot that had been ordering things on Amazon through Alexa while the owner was at work. That took me down a Rabbit hole if crazy parrot videos and this gem! Ive been laughing for over an hour at parrots but this one is killing me!

When I lived in NC and worked for Orkin, one of my customers had an African Gray. First time I went into the house, wife was home husband was out but I knew him and his voice, I heard him in the bird room. I would have sworn on oath he was in that room. Door was open and I looked in to say hi and he wasn't there. I asked the wife and she told me the bird could imitate his voice almost perfectly.

Thats a riot! I knew some could speak and mimic but didnt know they could be ventriloquist too!

Another less amusing video captured a parrot that witnessed his owners murder saying “Don’t bleeping shoot” it was an F word in the middle of course.

Anybody have experience with Yasha Goby’s? I snagged a pair from DD last week. Theyre in the display and immediately found a cave but dont want to come out. I see heads peeking out every so often and they have popped out to snag a bite of Mysis but have yet to come out and explore.

Alls well in the sump. Chaeto growth has taken off after the first couple of stagnant weeks. Nyos 120 putting in the same good work it did in the Reefer. Dosers are in place waiting for their time to come.

Anyone have a good way to find exact center over tank when ceiling mounting lights? I’m always off a half inch one way or another. There’s also a specific tool I’m thinking of to help and I have no idea what its called... It has a long string or wire that hangs down with a pointed weight that would settle over a point.

i know that probably doesn’t help much.

Saw an interesting post over the weekend and wondered what others might think. Since we can pretty much no longer get real Live Rock do you think getting a couple of Tongan or Vietnamiese Zoa rocks from Divers Den might bring in the "Goods" we're looking for or would the impact be next to none? Im not big into zoa's or mushrooms but would consider a rock or two if it potentialy adds to my biodiversity. Thoughts?

How far are you from Greenwich, CT? That is where I picked up my Pacific live rock locally.

Probably 3/3.5 hours or so. Never really know what I95 through CT will throw at you.

Do you think a couple of small pieces (3-4”) will bring enough to the table to make it worth looking into?

I did add IPSF mud and sand to the Fuge however Im always thinking of ways to bring more to the system.
