Hey Sunny, did you see that thing on History the other night about life after humans?
Scientists predict that 150 years after humans are gone, parrots and other birds will still be saying some human words, but by the time 200 years go by they'll phase it out and stop talking like us. I thought that was interesting.
I'm imagining a whole flock of parrots flying around yelling "Hello, hello,"

No Miss I didn't see that! But, I really don't care right now either!!! Yesterday, Ozzie got me good. He broke my thumb. I am none too happy with birds right now. The only thing good I got out of it was when I went to the hospital they were able to tell me that I was having an allergic reaction to the caterpillar bite...So I am on antibiotics and pain killers and Benadryl. I feel like shit.
Morning Twisty, my lover man!!

Stay away from ALL large mammals .... or Betsy the cow may take a piece...My love bird would let you handle it but every once and a while he'd get a hold of me till i had tears in my eyes.... I wouldn't want a PARROT getting my finger... I saw one bite my drumstick in half and they're made of hardwood too....

Yeah I know Twisty, I feel like I am having a run of bad luck with critters! Ozzie really shocked me yesterday when he did this. I was in his cage straightening up, like I always do, and something just snapped in him. He lunged and got my thumb and was not letting go. This went on for a good 2 minutes, and I knew I was in trouble. So I was trying to pry his beak off and it made him bite harder....that is when I heard cracking and then a loud POP. I knew it was broken. I ended up getting him off of me by slamming his body repeatedly on the floor until he let go. It was ugly. The joys of owning exotics! THEY DON'T BELONG IN OUR HOMES. I really can't stress that enough! I just thank god it wasn't my granddaughter or niece!

Yeah those beaks are hard to get opened... its amazing how strong they are...... even my little love bird was an event to get it off... I found covering his head seemed to help, but that may be wishful thinking... then after you do slam/hit/grab them they hold a grudge... mine would fly over and roll on its back and put its head in my fingers when I made a OK sign... he'd roll his head around and scratch the back of his head, loved it, actually waited for me to open his cage.... then he bite me and I threw him... he flew away unharmed, but after that he'd fly out of his cage and no more lovey dovey.... his legs were crippled so he'd drag his ass across the sofa to try and bite me... No forgive and forget....

Awwww Twisty he sounds adorable!!!!! Yes, they do hold grudges! Ozzie did not get hurt, thank god. He is very angry with me now though. This morning when I woke him up, he hissed at me! I don't know what his problem is in life, but, he needs to get the heck over it....
Do you still have your lovebird? I have always had a liking to lovebirds, they have attitude! I love attitude, just not the real mean attitude, lol.

You know what? That is good! I do spray him with a bottle when he is acting up, I really don't know why I didn't think of that. Wow, I really don't know!!! It was just so shocking, and I think I went into shock...Never again. He will never have that opportunity again! NEVER!damn

Damn Weedman, I cannot believe I did not think of that! All I kept thinking was...'is he going to rip my thumb off?' and ' can I function without a thumb'
They were really the only thoughts going through my mind...and prying his beak loose!
Firing one up, who's in?

No... he died a few years ago... I mentioned him before.. A guy that lived near me was breeding them, but started to inbreed and this one had one normal leg and one straight up in the air..so he could hang from his perch and swing.. funny to watch, but this guy was going to flush him and I said I'd take it.. the only birds I had before was budgies and a Java bird... so I didn't know how much work it was... I had to feed it with a syringe every two hours..and I carpeted his cage so he could drag his ass around w/out wrecking his feathers... had it for 7 years...7 years longer than that ass was going to give it.....

I do remember you talking about him before. I didn't know he died though.
Sorry for your loss. It does make me smile when I picture you carpeting his cage and taking care of him! This is why I love you, my Twistyman!!
Well guys, I am nice and stoned and now I need to do some things around here to get ready for another viewing, ugh....Today will be the day the house sells, I know it!!!
Have a good day and I will see you all later!

hey miss...I saw that show...my question is...if something killed off all human life, why didn't it kill the other animals?
