When you've spent years (and I mean YEARS) trying to balance all of your birds on you at the same time.

So far I have not succeeded, lol.

When you make regular 5+ hour round trips to a small town newspaper to pick up bundles of uncirculated papers so your friends can rip them up and poop on them

When your newspaper survey call asks you why you subscribe to daily and Sunday. You unthinking reply... "I find newspapers depressing and don't read them. I use them to line my parrots cage and play area." It's only later that you realize that response wasn't appropriate.

When you have leave land line in birdie area disconnected from wall. You discover by answering in another room that your CAG became your secretary. Answering and responding appropriately including... bye I gotta go.. and makes disconnecting sound. True story, he fooled shift supervisor volunteering me for an extra shift. I discovered that he was doing this often!

When the calmest place in your home is the bathroom

And then there was the time, 20+ years ago, when we moved from New Mexico to Ohio...
For the first time in years, we had a Christmas tree. We hauled out the boxed ornaments, began to hang them on the tree, and...
What the what-what?
A big fat grey Patagonian down-feather was clinging to a lovely snowflake ornament...
I just left it. It's still there. Swear to God.
Yep. We've had the Rickeybird for a lonnnnnnnnnnnng time.

I don't qualify for the long time bit but ..why yes I did have leftover chop for dinner tonight because it didn't smell perfectly fresh for HRH Fluffyfeatherbutt.

 

[Macawdamia Nut]

You are invited out to dinner and order a bowl of berries instead of tiramisu for dessert so you can bring the leftovers home to your parrot.

 

[rheashard2]

I love the person's whose name I incorporated into my own. She's aware that my pet refuses to even purchase seeds for me! I've been having a sunflower seed withdrawal for YEARS! My person sent me about 15+ years, 8 pounds worth of roasted unsalted non GMO sunflower. If there was a way, my pet would return them! PS the I incorporated Margaret Ann so I am Nameliss Margaret Ann. Maybe my pet is jealous because she is mearly a sound!

Why are there so many cuties here? My CAG looks and is mischievous! Her motto is substitute any of her 'toys for all do not play/touch with' items!

 

[Macawdamia Nut]

When you tell your spouse off for eating almost all of the freshly cut mango that you lovingly prepared for your parrot.

When you wash your hair in the shower and budgie poop collects in the drain strainer and you don't care. I'm always walking round with budgies in my hair!
