? Why April 28 Matters
April 28 in history is filled with major milestones, unforgettable events, and moments that changed the course of the world.
From famous mutinies to powerful political shifts, this day has marked countless turning points across centuries.
Throughout history, April 28 has been a stage for acts of courage, pivotal changes, and groundbreaking achievements.
As we reflect on this date, we uncover stories that continue to inspire and shape our world today. For instance, several key events stand out across different eras.
? 1789: Mutiny on the HMS Bounty
In 1789, sailors aboard the HMS Bounty challenged their captain and rewrote maritime history.
Their daring defiance sparked one of the most legendary maritime events. As a result, it symbolized resistance, the thirst for freedom, and the struggle against oppressive leadership.
This story has since become a timeless example of rebellion and the pursuit of self-determination on the open seas.
? 1945: Mussolini’s Fall and Europe’s Turning Point
Fast forward to 1945. Italian partisans captured and executed Benito Mussolini, signaling the collapse of fascism in Europe.
Consequently, Italy moved toward liberation, and a new political order began to rise after World War II.
This critical moment reshaped European history. Moreover, it laid the foundation for the rebuilding of democratic institutions and the eventual formation of modern Italy.
? 2001: Dennis Tito and the Birth of Private Space Travel
Decades later, in 2001, Dennis Tito traveled into space as the first private citizen to fund his own journey.
As a consequence, he opened the door for private space exploration and a new era of commercial travel beyond Earth.
Tito�s journey proved that space was no longer reserved only for trained astronauts. In fact, his adventure paved the way for today�s growing space tourism industry and inspired a new generation of explorers.

Posted by Tiffany Ramer on Thursday, April 28, 2016
Because people have been asking how Larry bird is doing. She spends plenty of time with me but isn't quite ready for all the other birds. She just wants to watch them and see who all is there first. I can barely see her breast bone sticking out anymore and she has put on some good weight since she has been here. Pretty proud of how she is looking and she smells so much better now. It can't be pleasant to sit around having to smell yourself. Wanting to do something to fix it but you just can't. Until you come across someone who cares that is. Have a great evening everyone. – Brad

I will try to get a better video because this is a game Kiki loves to play and can go on for hours. Kiki hates socks. If they are in a laundry basket then they need to be tossed on the floor and one better not touch his things. It's ok if it touches him just as long as he can snatch it up in his beak and launch it far away for you to fetch and keep playing. It is a game we play often and he just loves it. We love playing with our Kiki boy. I will try and get a better video of it soon. Enjoy Thursday everyone. – Brad
