The beauty of 3 words...when spoken by your parrot

[Prophecy]

Before I get into my post,I have to give some background.I have quite a few rescued and special needs birds here,some of whom are pigeons and doves.Most of my pigeons are 'hard to place' birds no one wanted,because they are either disabled,missing a wing or deformed in the legs,blind or otherwise undesireable to most fanciers or pet homes.Many of my birds are unreleasable 'feral' pigeons,given to me by rehabbers.I have them in my 'bird room' wich also is my dining room where I eat my meals with my feathered friends.All my birds are in this room.Parrots,doves and pigeons.

So,anyways ......

My 2 male rescued feral pigeons Peeper and Chuck were being rather grumpy today. Well Chuck usually has a bit of an attitude-though hes not an agressive bird,but it was worse today,as he's had a rough week.I had just been accosted by Peeper (his girl Sophia,just layed an egg,so I got the macho male defending his girls egg routine-wingslaps and nips) and went up to feed and water Chuck,in his cage.Chuck is a recent widower,after losing his mate,last week,so Chuck is not a happy bird-right now.Chuck bit me HARD. I said ''dang it Chuck,that hurt....dont you love me anymore?!'' Sweety,my jenday came over to my side of the cage and said ""I LOVE YOU!!'' and made his feeding gesture,with kissy faces.I just melted, and told him ''I love you too,Sweety'' and gave him a kiss.
It's kinda funny,how lovely those 3 words just sounded,coming from my Jenday.Sweety just totally made my day and brightened my mood,at that moment in time.I love you too Sweety bird.You are my sunshine.

Just absolutely melts me every time when my GC Kiwi says "I love you!!" Had a little banter the other day......she said, "I love you"....I said, "I LOVE you"....she said, " I love YOU".......anyway, that continued for about 5 minutes or so back and forth.....so funny!!

I taught Mishka my African Grey to say mom mommy mom your telephone is ringing, about a week ago.
This morning my cell was ringing she screamed MOM MOMMY MOM YOUR TELEPHONE IS RINGING COME COME COME
I could not stop laughing, then she said OH STOP IT OH STOP IT
If only they realize how much joy and entertainment they constantly give us 24/7

Take care, and that of our feathered friends !!!

Ah yes how beautiful when they tell you they love you, call out for you by name and blow kisses to you but they can also embarrass you too!

Last week a friend dropped in to finally meet Puffin. I had been telling her how well he spoke and how careful my kids have been to make sure he doesn't pick up any naughty words and how we tried to teach him sweet things so what was the very first thing Puffin said as we sat down with a cuppa in a pure mimic of my voice............................................." PUFFIN.what are you doing, you naughty little bird!"

Three words I'd rather hear: "I'll clean up"

AD Now that would really be a "trained parrot".
