I got two words for you. Pink. Flamingos.
The REAL suburban nuclear option.

I got two words for you. Pink. Flamingos.
The REAL suburban nuclear option.

For billions of years, it has ever been thus!!!

 

[Kentuckienne]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

 

[SailBoat]

That explains so very much!!
Clearly history needs to be re-written!!

 

[GaleriaGila]

Up in the middle of the night, as usual, and...
I laughed so hard that my nearly-deaf dog had a barking fit... 2:45 a.m.!!!!!!!!
The Rickeybird slept through it all, as far as I can tell.

I love you, Parrot Forums.

I do.

Endless flocks of Rickeybirds in their natural habitat, how glorious they are! You will be in ecstasy, Aunty G!!

Rival on the other hand ... maybe not so much ... He probably has dishes to go wash anyhow ....

 

[GaleriaGila]

NEWS FLASH... The series MAY be starting next Sunday, but...
Soon, everybody, soon!

 

[GaleriaGila]

Yep, starting tonight on your local CNN hook-up 9 p.m EST, here.
I understand it's FULL of Rickeybirds (aka Patagonian Conures, aka Burrowing Parrots)!
We'll be watching!

Now I have to search my older cloths and find my Patagonian shirt to wear during the show.

Late Breaking News: Dateline Patagonia! "Patagonia: Life On The Edge Of The World" documentary production team quits in disgust claiming inability to work with the Rickeybird!! Executive Producer James Smith walks out in frustration, and is heard to say "I know I'm a prima donna, I admit it! What I can't stand about the Rickeybird is that he won't admit it!!"*

(*with apologies to George C. Scott as "Patton" )

 

[SailBoat]

Julio was in disbelief at the number of Human's that find it unbelievable that Parrots somehow refuse to admit that they are Prima Donnas, as it is little more than a Standard Mode of Being, as he sipped his morning drink, while surveying his vast Kingdom!!

 

[GaleriaGila]

Agreed! And in evidence, I hereby submit...

Oh, and make that CLUTCH size, above! D'Oh!

 

[SailBoat]

It is interesting that there are nests cut at specific layers, likely slightly softer sedimentation layers.

 

[Cottonoid]

Agreed! And in evidence, I hereby submit...

[GaleriaGila]

Thanks, y'all! I was glued to the set... it was past the Rb's bedtime, so I couldn't get his thoughts on sediment.
