Jack - African Grey or is he a Red-tailed hawk
Parrot Maids

I know they have house cleaning services. I know a bit about visiting nurses for the elderly. I need both for Jumpin Jack Splash! It looks like I've had a kindergarten food fight in my dinning room! I'm not sure if the Starship Enterprise is equipped with a strong enough force field to contain his feeding enthusiasm. Seed guard...huh...that's a joke. I guess if you stored seed under the guard it might be protected from a Klingon Grey raid. I once saw a dozen golden retriever puppies eating solid food for the first time and that mess was nothing compared to the one this little parrot can inflict....yikes!

Holy toxic waste Batman!

I swear he's sitting on his throne high atop his lofty palace making his clinking sounds. This I have deduced means "feed me Seymour" yeah my little shop of horrors. I'm head cook and bottle washer in Alice's Restaurant.

Oh the humanity of it all:eek:

My regular job has become a part time hobby.

I'm kidding of course. I have connected with many beings in this life and have cherished every moment. Jack has shown me that life no matter what form it take still amazes me. What mysteries will he reveal in the days ahead. Time will tell.

What a fascinating fellow.



Stars, too, were time travelers. How many of those ancient points of light were the last echoes of suns now dead? How many had been born but their light not yet come this far? If all the suns but ours collapsed tonight, how many lifetimes would it take us to realize we were alone? I had always known the sky was full of mysteries–but not until now had I realized how full of them the earth was.

Start at the outer edges and work into the center of the explosion seems to work best!

The goal of the Parrot World is to feed those that exist below them! Share the Wealth!

Yes! I think the parrot kingdom is where "trickle down" economics comes from! :59:

I think it's much simpler. Parrots know they need to keep their humans busy and challenged, lest we get bored and act out and chew the furniture and scream for attention. [emoji23]🤣[emoji23]

They make a huge mess.

Right after I cleaned up the garbonzo beans and broccoli Peanut flung all over the place she went up on her perch where I have a foraging basket filled with Zupreme blend and knocked the basket on the floor. I had it tied to the perch with butcher string and she somehow got it untied. 10,000 little Zupreme fruit pellets went flying everywhere. I think she did it on purpose.

A good deterant for a "food flinger" is a "tidy bowl"! A three-sided with roof and perch inside plexi food bowl. Jonesy,my old goffin was notorious for flinging his grub across the living room floor,untill I got him a tidy bowl. Fixed his wagon but GOOD! :D

Salty is not a flinger. Max, now,Max was a champion flinger. For such a little bird, he used to get some distance, 360â—‹ too.

My U2, Poppy proudly holds the record for flinging, I think she's hoping for an Olympian medal. She uses her face to scoop and fling, she's satisfied only when her bowl is empty.

Harry, a female quaker is fastidious about keeping her own room clean, outside her door though, she loves to make messes and she likes to launch offending food items at me, she has a wicked aim.

Allee...the "face fling" must be a 'too thing :eek: That's EXACTLY how that beady-eyed monster Jonesy did it :mad: I would find HIS food,under Amy's mansion,clear across the living room floor!

For cleanup, you need this. Just the less aggressive variety. Behold Nomad from Star Trek TOS:

Jack is a beauty! With looks like that, he knows he can throw anything he wants to:) My conure, Phoe, throws everything he hates straight at my head. I have gone to the bank and then realized people were staring because there were raspberries stuck in my hair.

Not sure which is worse unknown raspberries or unknown poop on your back probably both. Timneh has me serving her literally. I spoon feed her the mashed or well she flings a little bit around and then walks away as to say you eat this crap bring me some chicken, grapes, and nuts now. She treats me like I'm the dog whistles come here come here. Don't forget to give her her paper towel to clean up with or you might get a good pinch while she uses your shirt. Looks at you and says Oooowwwww.
