Birds like shiny things....damn!

I have a pet parakeet that I keep around me while at the computer sometimes and he likes shiny things. A lot. A whole friggin lot. I'm talking a fat man to burger king on a hot day after running 10 miles and not eating for 10 days lot! :Q Thats a lot!!! :Q:Q:Q:Q:Q

Well, this gets nasty when I have a CD bottom up! You wouldn't believe how far my arm can reach when my bird is walking and pecking at my favorite CD (Beastie Boys- Paul's Boutique)!!! See, my bird can't fly (old football injury...well, not football, but an old injury. It can't fly more than 20 feet and higher than 2 feet off the ground, so basically, its first inclination is to walk now...it got injured when it was about 9 months and its 6 and a half now!) so he doesn't see my coming and fly away, so either he walks off (nooooo, end the scratching! He has fairly sharp claws...enough to scratch a CD...) or I pick him up off of it with no resistance from him. 🙂 Such a nice bird...but not too bright. 😉

Well, fortunately he hasn't scratched any CD more than a hair...and fortunately my favorite CD is amazing scratch proof! I think its time to start putting CDs away after I use them regardless of whether I'm gonna use them in 5 minutes again or not! 😱

Anyway, I just wanted to use that fat man analogy really...sorry to waste your time. 🙂

My budgie's obssessed with cups.
Yup, show him any cup and he's there.
Just like that.
*Not very bright either* 😛
 
my roommate's cockateal screams its head off when it sees the sun each morning. he also really like keyboards. laptop keyboards especially. just pulls the keys right off.
 
Be sure to close your shiny zipper in the presence of wood peckers.

Sorry, I've already got someone who's waiting for a ring.

But then again, maybe y'all would go for the whole polygamy thing...

I dunno 'bout that, as much as she likes what the ring stands for... She has a thing for diamonds. She'd be a little bitter.
