The Rickeybird Scrapbook, 1984 - Updates

Hmmm the RB is nearly 40. You know what they say about 40... 40, fat and flatulent....

 

[GaleriaGila]

Oh, I can totally expect that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And it seems that Rickeybirds start to go bad at an early age.
Here's a young Rickeybird who still has a horn-colored beak (doesn't turn black until 6-9 months).

I think this is a great idea! Lots of hot chicks and sunshine. What could go wrong?

I'm not the least bit worried about the ball rolling over him, or the hens (especially the human ones) trampling him, or an osprey picking him off.

Go get 'em, little Rickeybird.

 

[GaleriaGila]

Be careful, little Rickeybird!

 

[GaleriaGila]

Okay, sing it out loud to yourself...

These Rickeybird couples are in their nesting burrows.
For SOME REASON, they are all thinking the same thing...

Question...you may have already answered this but may I ask how did RB get his adorable name?

 

[GaleriaGila]

Thanks for asking.
His first inspiration was a parrot in the bird store where I found him as a 3 month old chick... a Hahn's. He was much bigger than the Hahn's (and smaller than a B&G hen who was courting him). He didn't care much for the other birds but DID learn to say the Hahn's name... Rickey. "Rickey" and "Hello, Rickey". I had no idea he'd ever learn more words/names, so I left it as was. OH MAN, I HAD SO MANY CUTE NAMES IN MIND!!!! I had no idea he'd be a good mimic.
As the years went by, he developed such a reputation of rude and innapprprpriate behavior that people just started objectfying him as "the Rickeybird". I joined in.
Funny thing, though... he STOPPED saying "Rickey"... hasn't said his own name in 20 years.

 

[LeaKP]

Such a good story! Nigel, the eternal narcissist, says his name at least 50 times a day....

 

[GaleriaGila]

Nigel's in love with himself. Then again, who wouldn't be?


Meanwhile...

If my dear heart hit such a male with 'her' purse, the idiot would suffer from seriously crushed bones!!!

A favorite Rickeybird retort...

 

[Rival_of_the_Rickeybird]

How charming.

 

[LeaKP]

Hmmm how can a RB want quiet? Kind of an impossibility, right?

 

[GaleriaGila]

He's a complete self-centered hypocrite. HE steals food but nobody should steal his. HE screams, but nobody else should. HE bites, but nobody should bite him. On and on.

Hey Gail...

For whatever reason, I can't PM you. I can't type in the message box on the PM screen. Not sure if it's an issue with my computer or the site. Anyway, I have a picture I want to share with you. Do you have an email addie I could send it to? I sure I can receive and read PM's, just can't type one. Weird.

Beatrice, I am sending you her email. See? I am useful.
