The Rickeybird Scrapbook, 1984 - Updates

[Kentuckienne]

Hasn’t nobody sung praises of Rickeybird and Gail for ages.

Come and listen to a story of the Rickeybird
a poor Patagonian whose voice was barely heard
One day he was in a pet store being all for sale,
When up through the aisle come a wandering’ Gail
Redhead, you know
ImplusI’ve type.

Well the next thing you know old Gail had turned the page
Took Rickey home without waiting for his cage
He sat on her shoulder, was the place he had to be
And sometime by dawn they had formed a family.
Bird and human.
Just them two.

Y’all stay tuned now, y’hear?

HELLO, BELOVEDS (human and otherwise)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I've been missing in action again... this time for a couple of months... health issues (hospital plus rehab). I wanted to explain my absence, but let's not dwell on all THAT. I'm not quite back to full-speed, but I can't wait to start catching up. I'll post this in the Rickeybird's Scrapbook, too.
I have missed you.
Okay, where do I start? New messages? New members? Ol' members?
MAN, THIS PLACE HAS BEEN BUSY!

Sheer genius. Buddy Ebsen would be proud... if anybody needs a reference...

Sang this in my best hillbilly incarnation to the fam earlier. They were in hysterics... wanted the Kentucky "lyrics". My sister-in-law spat out her Diet Cranberry Ginger Ale. Ah, fine parody at work.

Wrenchie! Thrilled to hear from you; sorrysorrysorry to hear about Mrs. Wrenchie. Promise her there IS life after rehab!
Okay, this is a different kind of rehab, but it's still a good tune.

to you both... Salty, too, of course.

Helloooooo so glad you too are back!!!!

I'm glad you are still here! Hello there, my lovely, my ol' friend, my darling!

I'm glad you are still here! Hello there, my lovely, my ol' friend, my darling!

Have missed seeing your voice. So glad you’re mending. The crew here will keep you laughing as you gain strength.

Kokkie is watching you too…she doesn’t tolerate shenanigans.

DANG, there is no more beautiful bird than a well-feathered, well-preened Grey. What a good-looking parrot.
You're right about the crew here... I'd almost forgotten what it's like to crack up at the antics of the parrots (and their parronts).

A first order of business upon my return... a trip to the vet.
Here's the Rickeybird raising havoc in his travel crate/play box... Note the silence when I ask a special question. Dead silence. No bird in here. Nothing to see. Move along, move along...

 

[LaManuka]

Meanwhile, how good is it to have Gail and the Rb back??

Actually I'm thinking it's at LEAST an eleven outta 10
