Hi everyone,

I am the husband of LaManuka. (Insert dramatic pause).

As the spouse of a bird lover I have been on a journey of discovery and wonder at all things parrot. The drama, the tears, the laughter, the needle like claws the rending beaks and the chewed up corners of my favourite novels. However in the end I have found that I am a parrot lover too.

Of course being LaManuka's husband means I have to be at a higher standard than other husbands and learn my place in the pecking order (no doubt old joke but I am new here). Finally I learned that the magic words when it comes to our birdie children is "Yes dear".

Actually they are the magic words for everything.

I have signed up for two reasons:
1. If I have done something silly I can call upon the wisdom of the crowd to try and save my worthless hide before LaManuka finds out.
2. If I need advice and LaManuka is in another country I can cry out for help....if required.

I promise to post regularly and if required and give you hidden insights into the steel trap that is................LaManuka.

A riddle, wrapped in an enigma, woven in a cipher covered in last year's Christmas wrappings.

Mr Laurie Keats
 
Hahahaha, you are everything I expected you to be and more ...


if you are good enough for Fang, you are definitely the right material here :)
(and Rival wil be SO pleased to meet you, I think)


WELCOME!! :D
 
See ... I told you he was WAAAAAAAY too good for the likes of me didn’t I ... sniff ... I gotta go find a tissue now ... *weep* ...
 
Pfffft, like I could confess I am half in love with his wife the first time he pops up in here?
*that would make a great first impression! (NOT)


not even getting started on the parrots....
(swoon etc.etc.)
 
No it’s you Christa, you’re the best! ❤️ you too!

Now Fang has sung his bedtime medley (Pop Goes The Weasel, The Great Escape, I Whistle A Happy Tune etc etc) and the little Princess is sound asleep, and another day in Briz Vegas draws to a close, (except maybe a little time in the Game Room :))

Nitey nite y’all:)
 
Welcome Mr Lauriekeats !!!!! How fun to have our lovely Lamanukas husband join!!! Though we already feel like we know you, with all the sneak peeks we have had!! CristaNL and Lamanuka I'm feeling left out? ;)

Never fear Laurasea you’re the best too, and your flock, ❤️ youse all!

Where I would have been without hubby & you & Christa & Gail & Rival and all my wonderful bird-crazy forum buddies over the last few months I cannot imagine! Thank you all for being there!
 
Welcome! I'm happy you joined us!
 
Oh boy! Welcome! I'm waiting for Rival to chime in here, you guys may start your own off-topic thread. My husband may have to join in as he understands that there is a definite pecking order. If there's popcorn to be made or Rice Krispies to be eaten, Kevin gets first dibs.

I almost feel sad for him - not really! Ha!
 
Welcome - so good to have you here :)
 
I'm so glad you're here!
Yes, my ol' man will surely be along shortly to extend you a fraternal welcome.
 
Well, hail, and welcome! Keets............................wasn't he that guy who wrote ODE TO NIGHTINGALE? No, wait, totally different, I got it. But poetry does seem to run in your household, and delightfully so. lol
Aright, buddy, see ya around!
 
I am so excited to have you join us! Your wife is amazing, and after reading your intro I am not surprised to find that you are as well. It is so wonderful to have another couple here:)
 
You are a genius!

I wish all significant others took this approach :)
Seriously, many fights could be prevented!
 
This Community has elevated our (Kirby's and my) Rb-related interactions from spats/fights to joke-fests. It's true.
