Stephen Ormond, known as The Rock during his fighting career, knows all about The Rocky Road in boxing. A teenage elite champion who comes from a boxing dynasty, he's related to the legendary Spike McCormack on his mother's side, while his father and uncles were all champions in the ring as well, iconic fighting Dubliners all. He boxed as a pro for over a decade, with 33 fights in all, winning the WBO European, IBF inter-continental and WBU world titles, and was never, ever in a dull fight. Ormond was a well-schooled, aggressive boxer-puncher who shared the sparring ring with Conor McGregor but never once s***-talked another fighter to get to where he wanted to go. Ultimately, a world title shot passed him by, but he's determined to reach the holy grail, this time as a trainer. That's led to the opening of Stephen Ormond Boxing down at the Colosseum Gym in Kylemore, where we met for a chat about his ideas on what makes a successful pro, and a look back at his best night yet in boxing. We're also joined by his old mate Luke Keeler, a year on from his first appearance on the show, while there's also something of an exclusive towards the end of the episode as hype man supreme, cutman and uisce guru Mark Kennedy lends his thoughts on Ormond's potential as a coach, and irish-boxing.com's effervescent roving reporter Matt Meehan gives his take on the events of the day.

Wayne Alexander is a former British, European and WBU world champion. He grew up in Croydon, England and would go on to have a very successful amateur career. He talks about the highs of those early days, winning national titles including the 1994 Senior ABA title. He also had the disappointment of missing out on the Commonwealth Games in 1994 which still hurts him 30 years on. Wayne turned professional in 1995 and would soon build up an unbeaten record before winning the British title in one of the fights of the year against Paul Samuel's. Wayne talks about stepping up at only 24 hours notice to challenge unsuccessfully for the WBO world title against undefeated Harry Simon in 2001. He would soon bounce back to defend his British title and add the European title a year later. Wayne would then go through a difficult spell when he would lose unexpectedly to Delroy Mellis in 2003 and would soon make a change in order to continue to win titles. In 2004 he would move stables to John Breen's Belfast gym and would face a massive domestic showdown with Takaloo for the WBU world title. Wayne would train like a man possessed and would go on to have one of the greatest knockout victories in British boxing history to claim the title. He also opens up about ending his pro career and how life has been since retirement. Wayne is a fighter that has certainly left his mark on the sport and will be remembered as a true warrior.

Eamonn Magee grew up in Ardoyne during the height of the troubles. He was the youngest of 4 boys who would all find their safe place in Sacred Heart ABC. Eamonn was a real talent as an amateur winning 10 Irish titles as well as multiple multi-nation gold medals. He also claimed a silver medal at the World junior championships in Puerto Rico, 1989. Eamonn talks about his disappointment at missing out on the Barcelona Olympics and how he began to go off the rails with drink. Eamonn talks about being shot in the leg by the IRA and how he would win his 2nd Irish senior title just weeks afterwards. We then discuss his professional career which included a Commonwealth title and 5 defences against quality fighters such as Shea Neary, Jon Thaxton and Paul Burke. He would go on to challenge for his first world title in Manchester back in 2002 against the rising star of British boxing, Ricky Hatton. He would be the first man to floor Hatton and push him all the way in a close decision defeat. Eamonn talks about bouncing back to achieve his dream when winning the WBU world title in Cardiff in 2003. Weeks later he would become the victim of an attack when he was beaten with baseball bats and would be left with horrific injuries and face over a year out of the ring. We also discuss the end of his boxing career, moving into coaching with John Breen and having great success during this time as a team. In recent years, there have been very dark times with the awful murder of his son, Eamonn Jr in 2015. His battles with addiction have also followed Eamonn throughout his life. Back in 2018 his book ‘The Lost Soul of Eamonn Magee' would become a huge success winning multiple awards. Eamonn talks about plans for a documentary and movie in the future. Hopefully there will be many more chapters to his story.

Youth workers want to disciple teenagers into Christian maturity. Over time, we hope they move on from spiritual milk, towards spiritual meat. This is the vision of worldview formation - but what's that really look like and how do we disciple accordingly? Discussion Includes: What do you mean by worldview, and what are some pillars of a distinctively Christian worldview? As the Director of Worldview Formation as WBU, what are some challenges you've encountered with college students? What counsel do you have for youth ministers to help their students begin forming a Christian Worldview while in middle school and high school? If you could choose two or three areas to really focus on as we disciple teenagers, what would you emphasize? I don't think you'll need to persuade our listeners too much, but if you were talking with a parent who doesn't think their teenager needs doctrine or theology, how would you respond? As we wrap up, is there a final word of encouragement or admonition you'd like to say to the youth workers listening?

A three-minute glimpse into the birds we share this amazing desert landscape with. Cylinder Feeders versus Tube Feeders Kiersten: Intro: Welcome to the Feathered Desert. Today we're talking bird feeders. There seems to be two camps in the backyard bird feeding world when it comes to preferences of feeders and that is cylinder feeders and tube feeders. Sometimes people prefer one or the other and sometimes people use both. So, we're going to talk about the differences today! Cheryl: Let's start off talking about what each feeder actually is. The cylinder feeders hold seed cylinders that are cylindrical in shape, are made of various seed mixtures, and are held together with unflavored gelatin. At Wild Birds Unlimited store, you can find feeders that hold cylinders of three different sizes, the stackable that looks like a hockey puck, the small cylinder which looks like a pillar candle and is 1.75 pounds of seed, and the large cylinder that is four pounds of seed. The tube feeder is what you use loose seeds in and those are the feeders with the clear tube and perches for the birds to sit on. There are typically two types of tube feeder. One will have larger ports for seed mixes with larger seeds such as sunflower seeds and peanuts. The other tube feeder is aimed at finches and will have a tiny port that allows only Nyjer seed to come through. You don't want to get these two mixed up because the seeds cannot fit through the port properly. Kiersten: Okay now that we know what each feeder actually is, let's talk about each one in a bit more detail. I know when we are working at the WBU in Mesa we often get customers who ask which is better. The best answer for that is whichever fits easily into your lifestyle, but there are a few pros and cons to each type of feeder. Looking at cylinder feeders. Pros: Very easy to replace the food. No messy seed you are scooping. Just open the top of your feeder and plop a new cylinder inside. You can change up the type of seed mixture very easily. Just buy a new flavor of cylinder. No need to use up a 20 lbs bag of seed before you try something new. Less seeds fall on the ground to attract unwanted larger birds that will remain nameless. Seed cylinders can last longer than one full tube feeder. Sometimes, depending on which birds you are feeding. Most cylinder feeders are a grid design or open to give birds access to the food, so cleaning these feeders is much simpler than a tube feeder. Although you still need to make sure you are cleaning them. The gris design is also helpful for cutting back on larger birds getting to the food because only smaller birds are good at clinging. Not 100%. Cons: Buying cylinders can be more expensive than buying loose seed. The seed cylinder will dissolve in heavy or all-day rain. It may take the birds a little bit longer to try out this kind of feeder if they are not used to it, but once they know what it is they'll be all over it. Cheryl: Now let's look at the tube feeders. Pros: You can buy four different sizes at WBU stores and that lets you determine how much food you wish to give the birds access to at a time. You can mix your own seed blends if you like. If you don't like a pre-made seed blend you can custom make your own. The style is pretty universal so birds may be attracted to it a bit faster than a cylinder feeder. Although remember that any new feeder can take the birds a little while to use. More nuisance animal deterrent options available. The tube offers better protection against the rain. Cons: It is typically easier for larger birds to use the perches. Depending on how you feel about that you may not like this feeder as well. It can be a bit messier with the seed falling through the ports when a heavy wind blows or a large bird jostles the feeder. Birds can typically eat through the food faster because they don't have to work at getting the seed off of a cylinder of seed. Can be more difficult to clean, but you can use a bottle brush to get down the tube and into the port holes. Kiersten: Those are some pros and cons to both cylinder feeders and tube feeders that will hopefully make choosing a style easier for you. When you go to your local Wild Birds Unlimited or bird feeding hobby store look at both styles and see which one you like. Ultimately, the best feeder is the one that fits into you lifestyle and is the easiest for you to clean.

A three-minute glimpse into the birds we share this amazing desert landscape with. Kiersten - Hello everyone! We thought we'd end the year with a listener questions episode. These are some questions we've heard several times from different listeners. We're going to jump in feet first with Cheryl and our first question. Cheryl – Can I buy an owl as a pet here in Phoenix? We know it sounds crazy but we have had more than one person ask us this. You cannot legally buy any bird protected under the Migratory Bird Act as a pet in the United States. That includes Barn Owls, Screech Owls, Great Horned Owls, or any other owls naturally found here in Arizona. It is a federal offensive to own the birds or house them in your home without proper permits from Arizona Game and Fish and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. If you are seeing advertisements or have heard from people that it's legal, you are being misinformed. People who are trying to sell them to you are breaking the law and have most likely taken them out of the wild illegally, as well. Besides being illegal, it's also a great disservice to these beautiful animals to take them away from their homes. Beyond this being illegal, we don't really know why someone wants an owl in their house as a pet. You have to feed them mice, baby chicks, and ground up horse meat to provide them a well balanced diet. If you do not, they can develop metabolic bone disease which makes their bones brittle and is a terrible way to slowly die. We know this is a harsh topic but we want to make it very clear why having an owl as a pet is a bad idea. Remember these birds are also called raptors for a reason. They have large, sharp talons on their feet that they use to catch prey. Those don't stop being sharp or dangerous just because you decided to keep them as a pet. There are so many other reasons why they make bad pets. Basically, we wanted to let you know that owls as pets are illegal and are an extremely bad idea, as well as unfair to the bird. If you see advertisements for owls for sale here in the Phoenix Valley, please report it to Arizona Game and Fish so they can get these birds back to where they need to be. If you are interested in working as a rehabilitator for owls you can help at organizations such as Liberty Wildlife and Wild at Heart and become a licensed rehabber. We will list contact information in our show notes. Kiersten – Do the wild lovebirds found in the Phoenix Valley make good pets? The answer to this is definitely no. Our resident lovebirds do descend from pet birds but they have lived in the wild for many generations and have re-wilded themselves. They are now wild birds that have no interest in living in our homes nor do they need our help to survive. They know just how to make it on their own out there in the desert. It is completely okay to offer supplementary bird feeding stations in your yard as many WBU customers do. We have had some reports that people may be capturing wild lovebirds and selling them as pet birds. There is no law against this as there is with the owls because these lovebirds are not native to North America. They are native parrots of Africa that were released in small numbers about 35 years ago here in the Valley. But they are still wild animals that do not deserve to be taken out of the wild and forced to live out the rest of their lives in a cage in someone's house. If you are interested in lovebirds as pets, please seek out a reputable breeder who breeds captive born lovebirds responsibly. These will make better pets because they are used to people interacting with them closely and have never experienced life in the wild. Capturing wild individuals will stress them to the point that it can impact their health, leaving them open to disease and shortening their lives. To make sure you are purchasing from a breeder on the up and up, ask to see their breeding setup and the parents of the birds you will be purchasing. You should see obvious signs of the birds pairing with each other such as living in a cage together, making their own nests, and even raising the young themselves. If the person you are buying from refuses this request move on to someone else. Also, if the price of the birds is too good to be true, it probably is someone who is capturing them from the wild and wants to sell the birds as soon as possible. Choosing to have a bird for a pet is something that is not for every household. I know there are a ton of social media videos that make it seem like it's easy and super fun to have birds living in your house, but it's not for everyone. Please do your homework before you chose this animal as a pet. We will post some links in our show notes to a few insightful websites that can help you make an informed decision. Cheryl – What should I do about my bird feeders when it rains? This is a great question but not often one we have to think about outside of monsoon season here in the Phoenix Valley. If the day calls for light, passing showers you don't have to do much of anything. Both tube feeders that hold loose seed and cylinders that are exposed to the rain will be fine, if it is only light rain. After the weather has settled, go out and shake your tube feeders with the loose seed. If the seed shakes and does not clump, no moisture has gotten inside and the seed will be fine for the birds to continue to eat. If you have clumping seeds, you need to throw those seeds out, clean your feeder and put fresh seed in. This will help prevent the growth of mold that can be detrimental to the bird's health and yours. If we have a heavy rain or rain that lasts all day, cylinders made with seeds and gelatin will dissolve. Plan ahead and take those feeders in or you will have a messy, goopy clump of food on the ground the next day that no one wants to eat. For tube feeders, it depends on where you have them hanging. If they are under a tree or awning that gives them some shelter from the weather, they will probably be fine. Just check them once the weather calms down as we discussed before. The same advice goes for your suet feeders. If they are in an area where the rain will get to it, the suet will crumble out of the feeder. Purchasing a weather guard for use during monsoon season can also be a great way to shelter food if you have a pole system in the middle of your yard. Do not worry about the birds during the rain. Most often they are hunkering down in a tree somewhere waiting out the rain themselves. While we are on the subject of cleaning, after a rain you should also clean out and refill your bird baths. In case something has washed off a roof or trees that might have chemicals in them that are bad for the birds, you don't want them drinking that or bathing in it. Kiersten – What is the difference between Wild Birds Unlimited seed and seed I find at the grocery store or hardware stores? Cheryl and I have gotten this question a lot over the years. We both use seed from Wild Birds Unlimited and as many of our longtime listeners know we are both currently employees of a WBU store. Having said that, we both used seed from WBU before we began working at a store because they have a no-waste guarantee and use human grade seed in their mixes. So, the difference is that WBU does not allow any seed that will not readily be eaten by songbirds in the seed they sell. Other stores, and by other stores I mean stores that do not focus on outdoor bird feeding, because there are other specialty stores out there besides WBU that carry excellent seed as well, other stores do not care how much inedible seed is in their mixes. Seeds such as milo, cracked corn, wheat, and canary seed are all items that the songbirds we want to attract will not eat. They will just sit at the feeder and toss it to the ground digging through the mix for the handful of seeds they will eat. Then this attracts doves and pigeons which most of us do not want flocks of in our yards. The seed at WBU will be more expensive but you are paying for seed that they birds will eat and not filler they will not eat. Let's talk specifically about Nyjer seed, now. This is the small black seeds that fit in finch feeders and are often sold inside socks already at other stores. Is WBU Nyjer better than other stores? Without any bias on my part, the answer is yes. WBU imports Nyjer from India which is where this aster plant grows natively. The plants are healthy there and abundant which makes their seeds robust and full of nutrients. Some farmers have figured out how to grow this seed in NA in large enough fields to make it worth their while and birds will eat these seeds but the aster plant does not grow as well here, so the seeds lack some of the nutrients of the India seeds. If you give the finches a choice between the India seeds and the NA seeds they will pick the India seeds. I've seen this in my own backyard! Cheryl – Why do the birds in the city eat French fries and potato chips but the ones in my yard leave that stuff alone and only eat the seeds I offer in my feeder? This was a question from one of our co-workers and such an insightful one we thought it demanded a bit of discussion. We believe there are two reasons for this difference. One is that many of the birds that have adapted to living in the city are grain eating birds such as House Sparrows, Grackles, and Starlings. In the wild, these birds will eat different types of grains as well as seeds. French fries and potato chips are only a hop, skip, and jump away from a grain. Many of us do have house sparrows at our backyard feeders but why would they eat poor quality food, like French fries, when they have the high-quality stuff, like black oil sunflowers seeds, that is in the feeder. A second reason is probably cultural. The city birds learn to eat French fries and potato chips from their parents, while the backyard birds learn to eat from our native plants and our bird feeders. Kiersten – Closing – We hope this episode has answered a few questions for all our listeners and as we say goodbye to 2022, we hope you'll keep enjoying the birds in 2023 by getting outdoors to watch our feathered friends, maybe join a citizen scientist group or two, and keep listening to The Feathered Desert. Before we sign off Cheryl, do you mind if I make a shameless plug for the other podcast I started at the end of this year? For those of you who like learning new things about all types of nature, I've started a podcast called Ten Things I Like About…and it's all about unknown or misunderstood wildlife. I'll be talking about the pangolin, the vaquita, and many other animals you've probably never heard of. Each topic consists of ten-episodes that are ten-minutes a piece and Cheryl occasionally co-hosts with me! So, check it out in 2023.
