Pepper the Cursing Parrot

0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Chunny Mack with five good news stories. King Charles has bestowed a royal title on a rare golden goat breed. I'll have to tell the folks over at Pallace Intrigue, that's our daily podcast about the British royal family, off to tell them about this story. For now on, the goats will be known as the Royal Golden Grimsey Goat. The King picked out Tasman, an eight year old goat chosen to represent the breed. Rebecca is the owner of Tasman, and says hopefully this will raise awareness for the breed. The King pet the goat and offered the goat a compliment on the shade of its pale blonde goat. The goats are a rare breed and are considered at risk on the Rare Breed's watch List. Nice job, your majesty. Meanwhile, good news if you're hoping to live on the Moon. Radar data attained by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance orbiter has confirmed the presence of an underground cave on the Moon, accessible from the surface.

1:02 The location is said to be the perfect spot to build a future lunar base. For a long time, scientists believe that there was a network of tunnels existing under the surface of the Moon, but now they know there actually is at least one. The cave is said to be about forty five meters wide and then eighty meters long. And I'm an American, so I have no idea how big that is. Let's say a meter is kind of like a yard, so kind of like two hundred and forty yards, so like six hundred feet, so like longer than a baseball field. Okay, I kind of get it. Don't blame me. We should have stuck with the metric system back in the seventies. Blame whoever's in charge back then. Anyway, I digress. The cave is in the Sea of Tranquility, best known for Neil Armstrong visiting it. The cave could serve as a human habitat for future explorer. Is very cool, John, Do you have a world record for us this episode?

1:45 Of course I do. An irishman earned his second Guinness World record. Everybody wants to have multiple records. This guy wrote his unicycle the length of Ireland. That's three hundred and eight miles and it took five days, five hours and twenty three minutes. Aimen told Guinness that the title for fastest crossing of Ireland by unicycle appealed to him because it seemed like a perfect mix of daunting and ridiculous. At least he gets it. He said he traveled about twelve hours each day. He had a swollen ankle toward the end and that made each push of the pedals feel like torture, but said, as long as you're moving, you're peddling, hence my ankle swelling up from overuse. Meanwhile, over in England, they're celebrating the first pair of beaver kits. If anybody in trivia asks you what a young beaver has called, it is a kit. A pair of beaver kits.

2:30 They first born in the country. Since they were reintroduced back to the country's north last year, four beavers were released into a twenty five acre habitat last year, part of a series of beaver returns that took place across the UK starting in twenty twenty one. Hazel and Chompy seem pretty happy and they have now established their home in Wallington. Paul Hewitt is a countryside manager and says beavers are changing the landscape all the time. You don't really know what's coming next, and that probably freaks some people out. They're basically for anarchists. This time last year, I don't think I fully knew what beavers did. Now I understand a lot more, and it's a massive light bulb moment. It's such a managic animal in terms of what it does. Hazel and Choppy have built some dams and that has resulted in the return of some wildlife like Kingfisher's herons and bats. Well good news for Pepper the Parrot. Pepper the Parrot has four hundred people looking to adopt him. Pepper was turned into a Niagara Falls, New York shelter and the parrot asked, do you want me to kick your button? He didn't even say, but he used the expletive. The shelter posted on Facebook. If you think Pepper's feathers are colorful, you should hear his language bringing home a cursing a conure. It might seem like a fun idea until Pepper offends Grandma's Tuesday night nating group. On the bright side, if you want to keep my announced company from dropping in, adopt Pepper they'll think twice about being cursed out by your new foul mouthed, feathered friend. The shelter said we had adoption offers from all over the country, including a Texas saloon owner named wild Bill and a former Navy sailor who said he

4:02 had a vocabulary just like Peppers. Shelter says, it seems like everybody wanted a cursing parrot. White fronted Amazon parrots live an average of forty years, but with proper care, can live in their sixties and seventies. Pepper is in his mid twenties. And those are your five good news stories for today. I like that last one a lot. You have an awesome day.
