If you give someone a silly hat, get the right size!

How I love a new hat! My favorite color too!


Can't wait to try it on!


Noooo, it's toooo big! Can you exchange it for one in my size?


Well, thanks anyway! It matches my piano at least. I guess I'll keep it.


Mom, Make her give it back!


Yes, yes I did take Wilson's binky! Why can't you ever get sizes right? Wilson's too small for this binky. Can you return him for a refund?


This is all on you, Mom! I'm not sorry!

It warms the heart to behold such a long-suffering, patient, selfless, tolerant, humble, modest parrot... :29:

Adorable!

That is awesome, Allee! How you managed to get that hat on Poppy is amazing. Any of mine would have engaged in a test of wills before it got shredded!

Wilson is looking mighty fine, don't think he is going anywhere!

Poppy looks amazing in the hat, even if it is too big! But Poppy, give back Baby W's binky! He will grow into it!

Scott, I know it sounds crazy, but I just handed the hat to Poppy, she put it on herself. She loves hats, she'll walk carefully so they don't fall off. I usually cut the straps off before I give them to her. She was a little uncomfortable, I had to take the hat back to get rid of the unnecessary strap, nothing I could do about the size.

OMG! Poppy puts hats on herself, that is too cute! She is really a very fashion conscious parrot, judging by her collection of stylish hats Did you teach her to wear them or does she do it all by herself because she really likes them?

This is the first parrot I've known with a collection of HATS.

She is grinning so widely wearing her stylish collection of hats! I love this so much I can't stop grinning myself.

April, I discovered Poppy's love for fashionable hats by accident. I bought a sweater for my four pound yorkie, it came with a hat. I knew my yorkie wouldn't wear a hat so I tossed it on a table near Poppy, she's fascinated by textures, she was playing with the hat and I put it on her head and told her she was beautiful. She took it from there and learned to put on a hat with no help. She'll wear them until she loses interest. I can't resist getting her a new one when I find a small one.

Willow is not-so-much a fan of hats....took quite a few beers (for me) before she would keep one on hear head long enough for me to snap a pic, lol

From the large to the small... cockatoos seem to love hats! Too funny.

Perhaps cockatoos love hats because they all have their own built in hats

This is fascinating. If I had a parrot who wore hats, I'd be spending a small fortune on little hats and then blasting y'all with so many photos you'd want to choke me.

I think the beer CAP is very jaunty-looking.

Dang nab it, now y'all KNOW I have to try it on the RB.
