The Rickeybird Scrapbook, 1984 - Updates

[LaManuka]

I KNEW I recognized the Rickeybird!! He played the Black Knight from a certain famous Monty Python movie! He’s actually a true icon of the 20th century, now posing as a random Patagonian Conure. I know what’s under this helmet now….

Celebrity Look-A-Likes

Hi all, Ever thought your birby looked like a certain celebrity? Well, I figured that would make a fun thread. Norrie the GCC is practically indistinguishable from “Mr. Bean”. Interestingly, they also make the same noises.

As usual, the Rickeybird misses the point, aided and abetted by a certain household member.

Ya know, SOME Patagonians have to WORK for their food!
So do some husbands.

"Xander WHOooo?"

 

[Kentuckienne]

Rickeybird says:
Xander?
Propaganda!
He’s a shoulder lander,
A poop commander,
With parrot dander!
I don’t understand her…
She’s got a Patagonian gander -
There ain’t nothin’ grander -
But chooses to pander
To this walnut demander,
A down-under-lander!
In all candor,
You better unhand her!
That’s MY hen, Xander.

 

[GaleriaGila]

You have outdone yourself, my darling, you truly have!
Sinatra could sung it; Ludacris could rap it; Maya Angelou coulda recited it.
How are you not famous for this sorta thing??????!!!!!????????
Well, you are, here.
I adore you.
Thank you!

Well...
A big, big medical development...

At the Rb's vet visit, his hematocrit dropped shockingly (A GOOD THING) as a result of an Enalapril increase. The vet said it was the most dramatic drop he had ever personally seen. The number previously was up in the mid-60s, despite receiving Enalapril for years... the number just kept sliding up, and was starting to be critical. The vet was worried about side effects of a dosage increase but finally felt he HAD to try it. On Wednesday it was 52. ALMOST NORMAL. NO side effects I can see. Still screaming and beating up green chiles and ruining everybody's day. The vet marveled that this dramatic improvement could happen at age 37.

So, the takeaway...

Meds CAN help. I struggled with perfecting my little dosage system. I'm still working on it.

But...

MEDS REALLY CAN HELP, so, whatever your bird's issue is, if you're worried, or unsure how to proceed, or otherwise concerned, I urge you to work with your avian vet, or talk with us here.

Meds really can help.

52. A beautiful number.

52!

This is the best news I have heard in a long time! Oh Gail, I am so thrilled!
I'm so glad you kept working with the dosages, and look what a change it made. You are such a good Mama to him.
Rb did good, now where are his chilis?

 

[SailBoat]

Hmmm. meds and a bit of Spring Fever (maybe)!
Happy to hear that the numbers are Great!!

 

[Laurasea]

congratulations!
52!!!!!!!
How's the new place been ?
Dies he like his new burd room? Have noise issues been ok?

 

[Kentuckienne]

It wasn’t my soot? Such good news!

 

[GaleriaGila]

Thanks, friends! Yeahboyyy, nobody was more cynical/dreading/worried than *I*, but... meds are worth all the hassle. Terry, you know how I agonized... so much hassle; will he hate it too much; will there be side effects; what if there's only a tiny difference... ???
Laura, he LOVES his new digs. It has all worked out better than I could have imagined!
New room, SPRING FEVER (hey, Boats!), hot chicks in bathing soots... apparently, life is goood!

RB needs a reality check if he thinks 'hot chicks in bathing soots' are coming his way. He's an only bird!

Hey now, Rb is way more than a bird. He is a feathered overlord who makes Gail do everything for him, and he allows Kirby to live
