    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.

    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.
