How can you tell apart male and female budgies? Are grass seeds actually really nutritious? How big can budgie flocks get to be? What does zygodactyl mean? What’s a budgie’s daily routine? Today with your host, Devon, and co-hosts, Chet and Cap, and two special guests (Devon’s pet budgies, Budgly & Rex!), you will learn the first half of everything there is to know about the Budgerigar, Melopsittacus undulatus.
This is the first part of the Budgerigar. The second part (the second half of the info I researched) and third part (an interview) will be released within the next few months.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
