The Rickeybird Scrapbook, 1984 - Updates

[Rival_of_the_Rickeybird]

And now for something completely different...

Recently, I found myself staring at a huge pile of the Rb's feathers. I routinely save them for kids, crafters, and whomever may want them for whatever. But this time, I felt an urge to fiddle with them myself. I had a good assortment due to his BIGGG yearly end-of-summer molt.

I decided to raid my art supplies/stash, and I gathered up some Elmer's glue, scissors and styrofoam board, acrylic paint, and odds 'n' ends. As many of you know, I'm retired and therefore able to nerd out for extended periods of time, and so...

I commandeered the big living room coffee table, and after much sorting, sketching, puttering and playing... ta-da!!!!!! I have enough feathers for a few more projects.

If you don't already do stuff with your birds' feathers, I recommend it!
It was fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And, in further developments...

What I see...

What the Rb sees...

​

EEEEEK!!!!!!

Yeah, it's a feathery HOUSE OF HORRORS here alright. It all started with that talking heap of feathers on the left there, and now it's all over the walls.

Remember, a misplaced grill over a fan will greatly add to the collection!

Hmmm, would that be Florida FAN-aside...

David... a fan? You have just added your name to my ol' man's favorite OUTSIDE AGITATORS list! No good will come of it, I am sure.

Mr. Boats... FAN-aside? FANNASIDE???? Really? Your name is on the list, too. I can't play favorites here. I have Homeland Security to consider. Cageland Security. You know what I mean.

Major Tom... you're right. Funny is funny. BUT YOU'RE ON THE LIST, too, now! You roosters insist on sticking together. Honestly, it's cute, though.

LeaKP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SILENCE OF THE PATAGONIANS?? You have just sent Kirby (aka "my ol' man", aka "The Rival", aka "Oh, Shut Up!") into one of his belly-laugh-a-thons. He barely managed to spout forth "How about INVASION OF THE FEATHER SNATCHERS???"

Take care my good friend...
The problem with a huge Thread and a long history of Posting increases the likelihood of finding oneself on the nay-sayers list! Your kind heart may have served you well, but time and a wit will combine to find a crossed line at some point!

Jim, you know I love you, but I'm keeping an EYE on YOU. You're still a rooster, after all!

Mr. Boats knows!!!! I love him too but he is also... yes, a rooster.

I have a weak spot for you all, it appears, including the Rickeybird, who at least goes into a cage for a green chile.

Hugs and kisses from the henhouse... xoxoxo

P.S. More episodes from The Silence of the Patagonians, Invasion of the Feather Snatchers, and The Patagonian Feather Massacre are in the works. I have a wall to fill.

In other recent events, locals have taken to buttfeathering on a higher level in protest as the population in parrotforums and the RB thread in particular awaits new releases of art and theater.

As Scrapbook Archivist, I think I am not overstepping myself by providing a quick "buttfeathering" reference for newer readers. This word has been a transformative addition to the Parrot Forums lexicon.
http://www.parrotforums.com/general-parrot-information/65614-buttfeathering.html

Now then, I must address my wife's recent forray into recycling the Bird's molted feathers into works of Art, thus occasioning much hilarity.

[/CENTER]
************

I agreed that it truly is a feathery house of horrors here, starting with the talking heap of feathers on the left there, and now indeed it's all over the walls. But wait, there's more. Your humble Scrapbook Archivist remembered and retrieved this photo of the very early Scrapbook pages, long before the Internet, if you can believe that..................................

The year was 2000, folks, two-oh-oh-oh. So this feather recycling business has been going on for a long time. I think it's a great idea.

I suggest we try using 'em for cleaning our ears out, for kittycat chew toys, for picking our teeth, basting turkeys, stuff like that.

And the Bird is kind of a walking (flying) dispenser for all this recycling. If I need a quick toothpick? C'mere a sec, Bird.......................................

Jim, my Bro, I am no stranger to the couch, hence I invested in a comfy one. For real.

Tami............................
Geez, these hens with the lashes and the ruddy outfits and the provocative poses....................................... I'm glad you're a Mod now - AND A BIRD NERD - it will help me behave myself, along with the couch, which ever loometh.


Anybody need a toothpick before the bird goes to sleep for the night?

All in all, I'd say that the moons and stars are in a pretty good alignment here on the Parrot Forums. Through our trials, tribulations, and triumphs, we're a great Community.
To paraphrase an old idiom...
"God's in His Heaven; all's right (or WILL be, somehow) with the world."

This will give us strength in surviving Dorian, enduring our current challenges, and building on our strengths.

Right, Rickeybird?

"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! Thanks, everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

[GaleriaGila]

Continuing along the lines of interesting new plumages...
I'm still making stuff out of the Rickeybird's molted feathers.
