The Rickeybird Scrapbook, 1984 - Updates

[saxguy64]

Sis, we do indeed understand! My green dinos have taken a liking to screaming specifically to make the dog howl. The more he howls, the more they scream, and then laugh hysterically at the howling.

And all is right with the world...

Another day in the upside-down world pf parrot companionship...
In these days of adjustments and anxieties about his old age, today was a great one. Why?
He screamed and threatened every member of the family, tossed his fresh food onto the ceiling and walls, bit my shoulder (hard!) as I retrieved a fallen toy with the loving intention of re-hanging it, scared my poor little mutt half to death by yelling "NO" at her as she dared to enter his room, howled at the top of his lungs as I tried to answer an important phone call in his presence, pooped all over Creation, and in general, disrupted the order of the whole household for no good reason. At the moment, he is screaming and screeching in that well-known psittacine dusk-hour celebration as he prepares himself for a night of peaceful sleep... full crop, safe cage, and vigilant supervision by his long-suffering hen (that would be yours truly). Yeah, he needed an extra nap or two, and he took a scary stumble as he wrestled that paper-towel roll, but --- he felt good. What else matters?

Only you Forum members could understand, right? Right! You understand... the beauty... in our birds' noise and messes and chaos.

A fact that you already know is true Aunty G - it's a Rickeybird World, you just livin' in it!!

Yes, indeed, my loves... as long as I remember my place, the Earth continues to obey laws of Gravity, Relativity, and the Rickeybird.

We love you Salty!

Still lurking here, happy birthday Rickybird!

Happy Hatchday!

 

[GaleriaGila]

I hadn't realized it until just now... the Rb and Salty's hatchdays are kinda close. Rb is 5-5 and Salty is 6-16. Hey Al, they should hold a joint party next time!

 

[SailBoat]

Hmmm, with Julio coming in on 1, May! There is room for a super party!!!

 

[GaleriaGila]

A rooster-paloooza!

 

[GaleriaGila]

Well, I was browsing the Chilean 'net for items relating to Tricahues (the Chilean Spanish term for Patagonian Conure Parrots) and ran across this artist's site. She makes these items representing local wildlife. Adorable! And much quieter than the real thing...

Going Back to the Gladware Goodies

Admiring The Wiffleball with cornrows - his true love - made by his Auntie Terry57

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd... the Tubular Bell
I promised to make THE BELL my official entry, but I can't slow the video down enough to screen-grab any still photos! And my camera isn't fast enough to get any decent shots.

Now what am I gonna do?


Rival, any inspirations?????

Okayyyyyyyyyyyyy..........................
Here's our official entry. Gila, my love, I did my best.
Of course, we all know that it is impossible to capture the true and total charisma and character of your darling parrot,
but Gawd help me, I tried.
So, I hope to avoid sleeping on the couch.
Great bird. Adorable. Dandy. Great, great bird.
Here we go.

I can still to this day remember with fondness the day we sent off the Devil's Tin Can, I mean the tubular bell, off to dear Gail and Rickeybird, hoping it would be received and put to good use. "Little did we know .......", which is the opening line to many a good murder mystery novel. Here's hoping the 'Bird gets many more years of enjoyment from it.
