    Animalia Fake! - Insects

    There once was an old lady who played Animalia Fake! ______________________ Kingdom: Animalia - A Zoology Podcast for Kids is back with its game show, Animalia Fake! Every episode—with your host, Devon, and announcers, Chet and Cap—there are THREE rounds, each with FOUR outrageous animal facts; ONE of those facts is so outrageous it’s an Animalia Fake (it’s not true), and you have to guess which it is! What’s that buzzing? Aah! Shoo! Why are there so many flies? I guess it’s because this episode’s category is insects. Insects make up the majority of all species (that’s all life on Earth, not just animals!), and they’re found on every continent. So can you figure out which facts about them aren’t true? Play along and find out! You can keep score at home on a piece of paper or with the official scoresheet, which you can use online or print with the link below.

    Budgerigar—Part 3: Pet Budgies // Mickaboo’s Amy Yee (Podcasthon 2025)

    Find out what all the squawk is about! ______________________ What should you feed budgies? Does Houdini have some feathered competition? Why should you adopt pets instead of buying them? What things on the market for budgies should you actually avoid? Today, on the first-ever KA interview episode, Devon, Chet, and Cap welcome Amy Yee, volunteer at Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue (where Devon adopted Budgly and Rex), to talk about everything there is to know about pet budgerigars, Melopsittacus undulatus, and some other pet birds. This episode is in part for Podcasthon, an initiative in which 1,300+ podcasts are doing an episode that educates listeners about a nonprofit of their choice. I chose to highlight Mickaboo, a bird rescue based in California. You can find an overview of what they do and donate if you want to support their mission at https://podcasthon.org/charities/mickaboo. If you do donate, please email me at animals@kapods.org! I’d love to hear that I’m making an impact. This is the third part of the Budgerigar. For the first and second parts (on wild budgies), go to the previous episodes in the feed.
