SPECIAL NEWS REPORT FROM PATAGONIA (Translated)
Reporter: "Wildlife activists have observed that these wild Rickeybirds gathered in their Senate Gallery to discuss and establish a SET OF RULES governing press coverage of their activities in greater Patagonia, as well as interactions with the public. Conservationists had anticipated that these rules might be the eventual basis for Universal Patagonian Parrot Companions Rules to be used in human households, but... in an eerie parallel to recent world-wide political activities, participants were apparently unable to agree on anything other than random screeching and squabbling."


No rules here, people.
No rules.

This report has really opened my eyes to the seriousness of the Patagonian Conure situation. I think that the Patagonian masses need a GREAT BIRD to lead them to unity. A bird with maturity, sensitivity, intelligence, a keen sense of history, an unassailable moral compass, a vision for the civilized future of his species.............................
Well, it's an obvious next step, isn't it?

Sorry Rival, but the cottage is filled to capacity this weekend! So, there is no room at this inn! I hope that you have upgraded the doghouse!
Although your kind support of RB's homeland is sincere, it is likely not going to 'fly' well with the other member of the household.

"YANKEE DOODLE ROOSTER

[Rival_of_the_Rickeybird]

How did I even miss this post? Yes indeed, Happy Belated 4th, to Yankee Doodle Roosters (and Hens, and Parronts) everywhere.

Please allow me to make up for my oversight.

Wow that’s the most extraordinary rendition of the Star Spangled Banner since Roseanne Barr!

Don't remind me. I still have nightmares about that "rendition" or should I say abomination.

Kevin bows the red tail to those vocals...no matter they are bowed in seeking earmuffs but bowed nevertheless.

You almost got this one by me!
The Rickeybird is an All-American Rooster, as all the lovely, wholesome 4th-of-July posts clearly showed. He has many ongoing and important civic duties to discharge right here in the USA.
The only obvious next step is for you to get comfy on the couch. Ha!

For posterity, I'll take the liberty of double-posting this link in the ol' Scrapbook. Thanks for reading.

A couple of years ago, our member Teknogeddon made this little RB emoji for me. Haven't heard from 'em in a while...

Hugs'n'kisses wherever you are, Tek!

 

[LeaKP]

Oh love this emoji, did you put it in your keyboard?

Sometimes I just snap a few photos and then see if I can come up with captions, ya know? A buddy helped me with these.

The Four Stages of Chile Enlightenment for Parrots
~Respectfully and affectionately submitted by me and my Buddhist friend Kar, who truly loves the Rickeybird~


One
You contemplate the nature of chile, self, chile and self, chile or self.

Two
You are in the chile. The chile is in you. You are one with the chile.

Three
You turn inwards with a realization that chile is parrot, parrot is chile, all is life, all is all.

Four
You disappear into Chile Nirvana, Enlightenment, and absence of all worldliness.

In True Oneness!

You leave the mess for your Staff to Clean-up.
Ahmmmm!

Thank you for this hilarious extract from “Zen And The Art of Chile Demolition” by Master Rickey T. Bird - the nature of the Rickeybird is truly irrepressible!

 

[GaleriaGila]

Ah, yes, LaM... the mysteries of existence...

My Buddhist friend Kar often tries to educate me in transcendental ways. There really are 4 stages to Enlightenment, as you may well know.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_stages_of_enlightenment
I'm glad she is so open to having fun with it.

I told her of your '4 Stages to Chile Destruction' extrapolation and she laughed so hard that she sneezed. She referred me to the book...
"If You Meet the Buddha On the Road, Kill Him"
https://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/670
and said maybe the Rickeybird is Buddha, in which case, we should amend that to "If You Meet the Buddha On the Road, Put Him in a Bird Cage". This caused her more merriment than she could explain to me.
