Travelog post for: Noodles

Hi there,

I'm called Noodles because I'm a wise old owl, albeit just hatched.  My namesake is a gangster played by Robert De Niro in the movie, "Once Upon a Time in America."  Don't believe those other definitions of noodles you see online.  Noodles is a wise guy.  The Noodles character read a lot of books while in reform school so was thought to be the brains of the gang.



Please take a look here to learn about my species, the Snowy Owl, a bird of prey.  We are “protected under the [U.S.] federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, however, Alaska law allows Alaska residents to shoot unlimited numbers of owls if they are used for food or clothing. No bird or part of a bird may be sold or offered for sale.”  It is true, mom bought me but an exception to the rule is made for plushies.

The other TVs staying here for Christmas are:

Orkku Orava, a squirrel visiting from Finland/Portugal, wow, two homelands.  I could just swoop down and eat her up.  Mom says I mustn't because she's a guest.



My mentor is keeping me well-fed because if another rodent disappears from her house, there will be h*** to pay.  This is DuDu II:



I plan to be a host but who knows, Jeremy planned to host/greet and the next thing he knew he was doing a whirlwind tour of Disneyland and the caves at The Pinnacles.  Caves, oh, yeah, I could go for that.  Being a white tiger, Jeremy has nothing to fear from me:



This is Cheerio, a very pleasant yellow lady duck.  I am very grateful that she helped keep me warm while I was waiting to hatch.  I am imprinted on her!! We are about the same size, both have wings but she is vegetarian while I most certainly am not.



Here is BarryO, a small bear; who ever heard of a bear with a long tail?  He's having an identity crisis.  He just got back from a long trip which put him in the top tens for distance travelled!  I won't mess with him, he's barely big enough for a snack.



Last but not least, this is DuDette, a little brown mouse.  Yum, this one looks tasty.  Bye now, Mom is calling me into the kitchen.



See ya later,



Noodles
