What are you doing when you should be on Parrot Forums?

I cleaned the litter boxes. Swept. Tomorrow I do bird cages again. Now that I'm well enough after having the flu, I'm catching up on my chores!

Cleaning. 19 budgies make quite a mess even with plexiglass paneled cages. Cooking chop for my budgies- they eat better than we do!
Surfing the internet for cute bird videos. Trying not to want a super cute cockatiel, a GCC or an owl. My husband wants an owl so badly.
Taking pictures of my budgies- they're so photogenic- and sending them to people with real kids who don't understand.
Planning a road trip with the whole flock (at least the 11 tame ones). Buy a motorhome RV, retrofit it with cages, and start driving south.
Planning an addition on my tiny but beautiful house because the birds have taken over.
Bird proofing my house. Worrying about leaving then for 5 days for Christmas. No sleep at all last night, and were finally on the road.
What else would I want to do with my spare time?

I try not to surf the net looking at bird videos, seeing those little cuties that make me want a second. But my CAG is a tyrannical individual. Then I pick up a crochet hook to ease my longing. It's not long before I am in the grip of the 'one more row' syndrome. I'm lucky if it only lasts a few hours. Then I'm having to deal my feathered mistress. She's especially irritating if I haven't given her a quota of attention. This quota is entirely dependent upon the sun, moon, tides, constellations, wind, time of day, day of week, week of year. I have to pretend to like television (hated TV since childhood)! She likes to play and I am expected to cheer and reward her with praise. I read about behavior problems at other sites and here. I learn different ways to deal with productively with my CAG. It's a juggling act. I have to think like a toddler. What's the thing I'm not supposed to notice but do! That means anything and everything. Climbing on shoe shelf, destroying laces. Chewing holes not in the ratty ones but

We must always remember that none of those internet cuties is like that all the time or won't be when puberty strikes. They ought to post videos of birds behaving badly, and not funny badly, biting, screaming, and destroying things badly. That would bring people back down to earth!

I'm trying to do chores, communications, cooking, exercises, all that adult stuff, whilst enduring the screaming verbal abuse of a grumpy old rooster. The Patagonian one. The other one (aka my ol' man) is reasonably quiet.
