You know you’ve had parrrots a long time when…

[StormyPica]

When you say "Hey, it's alright, I know you're a little cage territorial" whenever you hear ANY loud noise.

When you constantly wonder if there's a pet bird outside because your birds mimic their contact calls.

When you find feathers everywhere, even if you are many kilometers away from home

I found some in my medicine cabinet. How?!

Every ONE of these things! Every one. Wow. We're a Community all right!
I would add... when your cell rings, you grab it and make a mad dash to a parrot-noise-proof area of the house before answering!

You beat me to this one!

When you are comforted by finding a random feather from your bird who has been gone for two years. Xoxo Lucybird

My record was a year ago - I found one of my fids' feather when I was ~200 km (~123 mi) away. All this way I had the feather in my hair

And...
when you find poops everywhere.

And this moment when your friend puts her finger in something brown and asks "Is it chocolate or your bird's poop? Yuck!"

Whenever we have people thinking of getting their first. I try and share they are way more messy than you have imagined.

Just had one carry over a pellet snd munch crumbs everywhere my hair my chair my floor...I hope some actually got inside the darn burd!

Why do the crumbs seem to be more than the mass of what they are eating!

Forget to clean their poop (or.. thats only a me thing )

If you forget and I do. It turns to superglue concrete!

You spend hours lovingly prepping bird food but it does not even matter. The birds fly around the room coming inches from your head and you don't want to see.

It must violate some law of nature.

Birdseed and pellets are prickly when they get in your bed. Just saying. Not a good thing to be laying on and pressing into your ribs or tummy.

If you've ever found millet/safflower seeds that got stuck in your washer/dryer/drain and started sprouting.

 

[Laurasea]

When you take thousands of pictures of your parrots, because there are never enough.

Then you capture one that shows their beautiful soul ! And must force everyone to look!!!

You don’t like music half as much as you like birb screams.

You have a feather jar and you will defend it with your life.
