Gawd, I don't need him to pick up that sound. He has the microwave and telephone down pat as it is. Besides making false runs to both he has got her ankle bitters down pat, as well. I can't count the times I have woke them out of a sound sleep to put them out when the feathered t*rd tricked me.

I never dreamed in my wildest thoughts that I would like one of the nasty things. She wanted an African Grey all her life, I got her one and the devil ended up bonding with me. He has to go where ever I go in the house. Follows me like a puppy.....lmaofallvitals wrote:To think, I can't keep birds from crapping all over my truck, and all you want to do is mount one too it!

Get yourself an eye patch and a peg leg. Then all you need is a good Pirate name, you already have the bird for your shoulder.

Get into your "super detailed mode" for next spring. I already sprung the news to my boss and she didn't blink!HenryJ wrote:Get yourself an eye patch and a peg leg.
Then again I have screwed with her pool for 3 days and met a shrub with a tap root larger underground than it was above ground, ruined one recovery strap, dug holes in the yard with the CC and the heep with it's 4:1 4 low. Finally took the nifty sawzall that you educated me about and terminated the sucker.

Trust me on the fact that he has allot of sayings that he has picked up on his own. Nothing that I would be afraid to have Brule's Tach hear but, it is amazing what they come up with. The latest that he put together on his own is "C'mon Jarhead buddy, where are you going?"roadrunner wrote:...........Me thinks ya need to teach the foul bird to scream like one o them eagle birds....................

Afraid Reed would be found anchored to the bottom of his new pool by a selection of automotive parts should the bird come to harm.

Stuffed bird! Clever idea. But on the serious side, I have actually had thoughts about putting a hood ornamnet on mine. Really love the old Pontiac indian chiefs and got one on ebay that is near mint. But mentioned it to my sons, laid it up on the hood, and they haven't stopped laughing yet. And this was about 6 months ago. They too young, don't even know what a hood ornament is. Project on hold!

Might actually be somewhat cool if, you think it has a chance of not being ripped off. I can't recall which recent car show I saw on TV, probable NYC because it was on Fox. They had a Rolls Royce, hit a button, a door slid open, their usually ornament popped up. Button was hit again and it lowered out of sight and the door slid closed. It had suicide doors doors and had an umbrella compartment that was in the front fender. Fox and I agreed on the fact that if, it was our car, someone would greet us with an umbrella when we arrived anyway.

Hood ornaments have gone the way of carburators and drum brakes. Government regulations require any hood ornament to either break away on light contact, or be spring loaded to give way if a person comes in contact with one of them. The last ones I remember were on the late 70s or early 80s full size cars. Reed, yours isn't too bad looking.

Hope your bird doesn't do what a friend's did. He and his girlfriend moved and the bird got so upset it plucked all (and I DO mean ALL) it's own feathers out. HELL of a sight! Naked bird sitting on a kitchen low door looking pitiful.

Thanks, Bro! I needed a little distraction from Brule's question.rlrnr53 wrote:............. Reed, yours isn't too bad looking.
My wife, Sue, always wanted one. She worked with a nurse who's hubby raised several species of birds which requires hand feeding on 2 hr intervals when young. Regional price here is 2-3K. She is a good partner and I scored the devil for 500 green backs. I researched a little but, because he had bonded with my wife's gf's hubby, I was in deep sh*t from the start. He prefers men and so, I was selected. I was in trouble from day one. All I hear is " I wanted an African Grey all my life" and he just likes you!
A bird was not high on my list of priorities. Been a dog handler and trainer for what seems forever. He snuck in and his ability to create his own phrases is pretty cool. If, he knows I am home and he is not in the same room with me, he crawls down and finds me. He gives english commands to her 2 ankle biting pos Pekingnese muts and tells my female German Shepard to down and stay while he is enroute.
Hopefully I can document all of this eventually.
Everytime I sneak a camera around him, he becomes a deaf mute.

I missed that post while typing. Yes, these things are high maintenance. Tons of problems and few vets that specialize. Closest experts to us are the University of TN and Louisville. Both between 90 and 110 miles from us. I have built a larger crash kit for that bird than I had for a working dog or a human.roadrunner wrote:Hope your bird doesn't do what a friend's did.

Truly a silly pet to own! A mere unnoticed blood feather broken will empty him of the precious fluid in hrs. With my track record concerning birds, I hope that you understand that I do what I must out of love and respect.
