General Meeting
Sweet Pepper Jack-O’-Lantern Carving Competition
Change of plans for the meeting activity this month. The Piñion pine nut crop this year is so low it likely would not be worth the time and effort. Maybe next year will be better.
Last year we carved pumpkins. This year let’s carve sweet peppers and fill them with treats for our birds. Bell peppers and small, sweet peppers (for the littles) will be provided. Some chop and stuffings will be available.
Everyone is encouraged to bring chop or treats and carving tools of their choice. Chop items can include vegetables, dried fruit or nuts. The group will decide on the most appealing and attractive pepper creation for first, second and third place. Winners can select a prize from the HDBC prize bin.
This looks like fun and let’s see what we can create for our birds.
Date: Sunday, October 26, 2025
Time: 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Location: Birds of a Feather Parrot Pantry
2325 San Pedro Drive NE, Ste 1I
