Saltys big day

Yesterday was Saltys first time for so many things. We put him in his travel cage and he came with me to a pirate festival that we perform, at here on Long Island. His place was on the side of the stage, partially over covered from the the sun. He was so good, taking in the crowds of people, the applause, the sounds of cannon fire (real cannon) and the music of other bands. It was funny that he only sang and did his laughing and amazon chatter when our band, The Brigands, were performing. The other bands... quiet as a grave. I took him out of his cage into our van during our breaks, to let him stretch his legs and wings, and to get some well deserved treats. During some of the other breaks we let the little kids come up and say hello to him and give his some veggie treats. And sometimes they got a "Hiiiii".
A long day for a little parrot, in the big wide world. I left with him after the festival closed and the after fest party started, and NOBODY party's like a bunch of pirate re-enactors who are camping overnite. It was getting dark, and Salty started contact calling me, first time all day, so I knew it was time to go home. Salty was so cool with the crowds, and the noise and sound, it kinda made me proud, like a typical parront would be. My goal is by next year when this festival rolls around again, is to have Salty harness trained. I just know that because he was so mellow, especially with so many small children in close proximity, that he will be the parrot to introduce people to birds as pets.

Well Done Salty that was quiete a lot to pack into one day. He is a Great little Character who takes everything in his stride and loves everyone...ha ha thats so funny that he only sang with your band LoL Sounds like you both had a Super Day

Sounds like an awesome day! Congrats on having such a great gig with Salty =)

Over all the day's adventures, the best was his contact calls and you're answer. That is a True Amazon Relationship! We so under value that part of our relationship: I'm OK, are you OK, yup - then the World is a Wonderful Place. The bond is made and daily supported, year after year!

Partying + Sea Fairers = Whenever a gathering occurs!

Go Salty - and as seconded: Amazon's Rule!

Thanks everyone. He really did make us proud parronts. Oh the reason he only sings etc in back of our band is because we take him downstairs most nights into the studio to mess around (the band is me , my 2 sons and their creepy uncle) . He, the bird, not the creepy uncle, sits on my shoulder usually.

Great outing and Salty did so well. When does he get his spot on your shoulder? I love sharing my fids with kids. Glad Salty shared a few words with them, all "Hi", lol.

Bet that was exciting! Glad Salty did well!! Your post instantly reminded me of a recent GEICO* ad spot that featured a hilarious pirate theme:

Well, congrats to the little parrot on his big day! I used to take the Rickeybird to Renaissance Fairs out West... lots of people did, actually. It felt like a real live medieval fair, with pirates and all.

Salty really is the perfect companion for you and yours, Wrench. He can honestly say "Hey, I'm with the band!"

I love that commercial, by the way. It's what you do!

Wrench... don't discuss anything with Salty that you don't want the band members to know... like...
"Uncle Creepy dresses funny. That boy needs more practice. Should I share that big tip with the others?"
