Some of you are familiar with "A Day in the Life of the Rickeybird".

"A Night in the Life of the Rickeybird".

These next videos aren't new, but I regrouped them into..."A Night in the Life of the Rickeybird".
Lights (OUT)... Camera... ACTION!

We interrupt this thread to say "rest in peace, Douglas the Parrot"...
The Rb and I just ran across this. Douglas was a film star in 1970, and went on to have some real adventures! I was in middle school when he made his debut. The Rb was still 14 years before hatching!

Oh, my darling Jim... Salty and the Rb HAVE met on Skype, on the occasion of Salty's first birthday party! The Rb was just horrific, and poor Salty just stared in shock. The Rb screamed and flapped and snapped for a good half hour. Al and I finally gave up trying to have a conversation.
This actually resulted in a family meme. I told this story to everybody, none of whom were surprised that the Rb shamed himself. Thereafter, anytime there is mention of a party with family or friends, somebody quickly quips "The Rickeybird is not invited!"
If nobody else says it, I DO!
Here's a photo of the occasion.

Gail, I thought you were trying to keep RB from the internet considering his raucous ways...

Happy (almost) St. Patty's Day!
We need a good drinking song.
Cheers!

A singing Patagonian could certainly DRIVE me to DRINK. And I'll drink to THAT!
A round of Guinness for everybody, and it's on me.

Lukas came over and insisted the RB should have another song in his honour, but since he also sympathizes with Rival...we ended up with this:
The wild RB
I've kept a wild parrot for many a year
kept buying transfusions and bandaids and beer
but now I got bitten, right down to my core
I am bleeding and crying, can't take anymore
and it's no, nay, never
no, nay, never, no more
will I keep a wild parrot
no never no more
I went to a petshop I used to frequent
and showed the wise owner the blood on my hand
I asked for some stitches, she answered me nay
with a bird just like yours you'll need those every day
and it's no, nay, never
no, nay, never, no more
will I keep a wild parrot
no never no more
I reached in my pocket and took out my phone
to show her that cute side he once showed at home
It was ten years ago I remember it well
so .. I bought him some gifts that the lady did sell!
and it's no, nay, never
no, nay, never, no more
will I keep a wild parrot
no never no more
I went home to my parrot and gave him a toy
and I told my tormentor he is such a good boy
He reached for my fingers, he went for my nose!
I heard the beak snap and oh boy it was close!
and it's no, nay, never
no nay never no more
will I keep a wild parrot
no never no more
and it's no, nay, never
no, nay, never, no more
will I keep a wild parrot
no never no more

Rival, we toast to you: SLAINTE!

Just... wow.
And thank you!
