Today Aria has experienced fresh light rain and has been loose all day to fly around in the house. She is still picky with her food and doesn’t want to eat properly some times. But she still has a lot of energy and flies around, and she has decided her own favorite spot, the curtain hanger right above the front door!
Hope you all have a good weekend!
Tada!

What can i say? Here we go again, Elephant Ivory Disguised as Chocolate in China.
We have to stop this, stopping poachers is one thing, but i am starting to believe that we have to start focusing on dealing with the Chinese government!! African government are doing everything possible now. What I am wondering is; What is the Chinese government doing about this? How do they feel about this?
I think they are quite silence about this, yes they discover the load but then, nothing.? Increase the freedom of the Press China, they are here to help you. Let them write and hang out these people who are involved in this and give them security to stop this madness. Or do they have something to hide? Maybe that’s the question we should ask our self?

I would like too announce that within the last 7 day 22 rhinos (between 3-4 a day!) has been killed by poachers. There are approximately only 20.400 white rhinos and only 5.000 black rhinos left in total in the whole of Africa!
I would also like to announce that there is about 3.300 Greater one-horned rhinos in Asia, less than 100 Sumatran Rhinos in Thailand, and the biggest of them all 35-45 Javan Rhinos in the whole Southeast Asia! (such as the Philippines)
Would like to congratulate all the poachers around the world! You are really succeeding with killing and slaughter!
You are breaking the law, in all ways possible and expect that everybody else should and are following the law. Well i can tell you this, a few days ago poachers got caught and ended up with 14 years in prison for killing 1 Rhino. Many say; because of no food or money. The laws are getting stronger and harder and will show you less and less mercy towards your actions!
If you have a family, what will happen to them if you go to prison? It sure ass hell won’t be easier for them! Think about that!

Making the decision to move to Mellieha to get away from the 24h loud music in St. Julians felt like the right decision, to feel that you live in a normal society.
Now even with all windows and all doors closed I have to put up with such LOUD music that I can’t even think straight and a bird that keeps on waking up from her sleep because of it (and she is used to live with lovebirds!!), it is NOT cool! Really? you’re playing across the town and I can’t even hear my own music with closed doors!
Well I can get by but seriously! and on top of that, when the real festival is on they will have fireworks as well!
Have too keep a close eye on Aria when this so called Festival is starting, cause if it stresses me out imagine a bird that has a heart-rate at 3 times faster than my own, we will come up with an solution. Please think about the small children and all the animals, is there really a need to be so loud?

My sister left at 4 am this morning. After being at the Marsaslokk Sunday market and relaxing at the pool for the hole day we took her to the airport. What can I say, it’s always really fun when the family comes to visit but at the same time it’ just as sad when they have to leave. You always wish they can stay longer!
Love you Sis!

After renting a car, me and my sister have been driving around Malta and checking out different places. We have so far been in Mdina, Mellieha, St. Julians, Sliema, Xemxija and Bugibba. We went to Bugibba for5 evening dinner and tried out a new restaurant by the water, i can tell you that so fat I have never had such bad food during my time here! how hard can it be to make two greek sallads and a Hawaii pizza?
But yesterday we went to a Indian restaurant in Xemxija, which was really nice location and good food ( no as good as the Maharaja but nice food!). Afterward we went to a local pub in Mellieha to shoot some pool.
Today it’s Friday and we are going safe and we are taking Julia to one of our favorites, Tex Mex. Mexican food with some of the best drinks on the Island. But first relaxing and sunbathing in our pool!

After chasing rental cars ALL DAY yesterday I finally had to give up. Since my sis arrived at 24.00 yesterday we had to take a taxi back home. But luckily we managed to book a car for 2 days from this morning!
Right now I’ve just come back from dropped of Eddie at work, since I haven’t been driving for quite a while and it is left traffic here on Malta and REALLY tight roads, I was a bit nervous I have to say.
Aria was not happy with us when we came back yesterday night, since we haven’t been home all day and turned on the lights when it’s supposed to be dark, she was a bit caught of guard.
Yesterday the heatwave started as well! and my sis is here. OBOY we’ll have so much fun! 
Talk to you later!
Tada!

Today we decided that we would give Aria a go of flying by her self around in the house. Of course we closed some of the bedrooms to keep an eye on her.
We release her just before we put her back to her perch and what does she do? Haha fun! or not. It took her about 2hours if not more before she actually realized that she was loose!
She flew in to the kitchen on the closest chair and sat there for at least 30minutes. We decided to move her in to one of the chairs in our bedroom where she sat for about 15 min and then back to her own spot just outside our door.
Leaving for the night and going for a walk we decided that we would let her be loose until we got back. After a lovely walk and a spontaneous exploring of the hotel just down the road, we were back. Only to find her in the “wardrobe room/ guest room” were she first lived in when she first came home with us!
It feels really good that we have done so much progress with her and that we actually feel now that she has her own place where she feels at home. <3
Hope you have had a nice weekend.
Tada!
