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

[HeatherG]

I miss this thread so much omg
Can we revive this please?

I’ve got it percolating in my brain but I have to think of new items.

 

[HeatherG]

…you have acquired clothing that color coordinates with your bird(s).

 

[foxgloveparrot]

You’ve dyed your hair to resemble your parrots.

when you take off your clothes and you discover you had a feather under them

when you take off your clothes and you discover you had a feather under them

Haha! When you take off your clothes and they assume it's THEIR shower time...

 

[Rozalka]

when you wake up in the middle of night reminding that you wanted to give something to your fids but forgot

 

[HeatherG]

When you are away from your birds and can’t hear them rustle and click in their cage and everything is WAY TOO QUIET.

 

[Rozalka]

When you have a lot of poops behind your bed and after cleaning them, your birb decides to do another one

 

[HeatherG]

The fact that we are ‘talking about’ poops and feathers in your bed is funny in itself.

I spend a lot of time reading, writing, hanging out in my bedroom so naturally my birds come in here, too. But still pieces of nutriberry in your bed are quite prickly. Worse than cookie or cracker crumbs I think.

I wrote "behind" not "in my bed"

 

[Rozalka]

...when you find seeds in your bed not knowing how they got there

 

[HeatherG]

I wrote "behind" not "in my bed"

I know it but I and others have written about food crumbs in the bed, feathers inside clothes….

 

[foxgloveparrot]

You’ve dyed your hair to resemble your parrots.

And when you do it, if you get it done professionally, you show them a picture of your bird and tell them to dye your hair to match him/her.

“Oh, um, actually, i want it to look like this…” *pulls out Jasper pic*

 

[HeatherG]

I’m looking for the perfect Quaker Parskeet wedgwood blue…

 

[Terry57]

When a bird friend makes a wonderful casserole for us for Christmas, and I find something that doesn't feel right in my mouth. I pull it out and it was one of her bird's feathers. I just showed Reg then set it on the tray and we both finished our meal.

 

[Percival the great]

When you start whistling and clucking to yourself!

When you start whistling and clucking to yourself!

Yes, I’ve been making one of Jasper’s contented whistles to myself lately. (Because I make it back to him to tell him that all is well.). “Peep peep err….err.”

 

[HeatherG]

When you constantly rewrite catchy songs to be parrot appropriate.

The latest is “the Quaker Dance” by Men without Beaks. Pretty sure it involves a lot of head-bobbing.

 

[saxguy64]

When after a shower, a stray feather in the drain is waaaaay more important than your own hair.

 

[Rozalka]

When you create own characters based on your fids...

I don't rewrite songs from zero but when I wanna use something for my stories, I change some phrases to be more parrot appropriate or/and more pg-rated (eg "Your feathers lookin' good" instead of "D**n, you're lookin' good")
