You know you're a Parront when...

[Vickiesbirds]

1.) When you spend more time cooking for your birds when you do yourself.
2.) When you wish a glue company would develop a glue from the enzymes found in bird poop... that glue would stick to ANYTHING!
3.) When all your classmates know you as "that girl with all the birds".

Hahaha Vickie... Number 3 is so true. But all my friends also know me as "the one who is in love with birds" or "the bird lady" . I'll have a group of friends come over and they'll hear loud sqwaking and "Hello's", and a couple of my friends go: I'll be back... Ima go get Toulouse. LOL they all love her.

When your guys are busy studying at home for exams, you take them a refreshment and they says is this our treat?

When you wake up in a hotel room on the other side of the world from your home and your phone alarm is saying, "Pretty baby... what a pretty baby!" (Kids obviously fiddled with my alarm with Gem's help the last time I was home!)

When your bird comes out with something that you can't quite make out and you say: Pardon?

Silly me....

 

[Jodi]

when you...have to run out for milk, get in the car and realize you have leftover birdie breakfast in your hair, and a possible "bird bomb" on your shoulder...and keep going! =)

OMG this is living proof of being a parront
Two minutes ago Steven was reading a post on the forum, and we were discussing it
I turned around to ask him something and said Stevie birdie instead of Stevie boy
Well he gave me the "hair eye ball look" like never before

 

[Pheonix Rising]

When your hubby asks you what you'd like for Xmas and you reply with a couple of harnesses for pheonix lol

Three times last week, Ken picked one of Fred's big floofies out of my hair. My hair has grown some, and is curly, so I guess they get stuck there. I'm grateful that Ken notices, and removes them( he preens me!!!LOL!!!)...other than that, I'd have gome to my dentist appointment with a large floofie in my hair!!!

When you have more pictures of your bird in your wallet than you have pictures of other family members.

When you adore your spouse, love and respect your kids and cherish the rest of your family but your screen saver and phone wall paper are both of a couple of destructo parrots

 

[Von1983]

When you come running down the stairs at breakneck speed into a shop that isn't as empty as you'd like and STILL present your husband with a palmful of around 8 green feathers.

You know HE'S a parront when he says: Oh my gaaawd, bigger ones! All from last night? Acccch our Cal is growing up so quickly!

It's condemned in stone that you're a parront when you ignore your customers inquisitive stares and continue to gawp at the feathers....

I know.....bird brain doesn't even cover it!

I knew there was no point trying to explain to customers, it'd just make it worse!!!

 

[Von1983]

You know you're a parront when you go to see your baby, see she's covered in splodges of red and instantly panic, pull her close and try to find her injury, ignore the fact she's fine and is squaking at you agitatedly. Even although there's a lot of blood - including up the wall, you can't find a cut ANYWHERE.

You know you've got a bird brain when you fail to remember that LESS THAN AN HOUR AGO you defrosted and fed your fid "fruits of the forest" and she's been having high fun smearing berries everywhere.

The shame!

* You have more feathered friends than human friends.
* You wake up early every morning even though you detest it to give your brood all thier fresh foods then race off to work without breakfast or a coffee because you just don't have the time.
* When you look at your TV cabinet and think that if you added some wire and doors you could make yourself a pretty good cage for budgies because you haven't owned them in awhile and you miss thier chatter.
* Woe become anyone who keeps your birds up too late with loud music or dare to think about smoking near them.
* When you have a set of buckets, sponges and scrubbing brushes just to clean your bird things because you want things that are guaranteed not to be used with chemicals.
* When you spend the better part of the day cleaning the bird cages and then announce to your mum that you are going to "go clean your cage now". Then you realise you didn't actually mean to say that, it just slipped out.
