My mother and stepfather went on a cruise and I'm stuck watching their macaw and cockatoo bratty loud duo. I'm not allowed to feed the cockatoo to my boa right...that's wrong...bad...must remember...if only she would shut up I could remember that it is bad to make the cockatoo snake food....

Between the screaming, contact calls, the come on come on, come here come here, whatta doin whatta doin, step up step up, hello hellos I'm going to go insane! Usually she's perfectly behaved for me and horrible noise wise for mother. Then Max the macaw is horribly behaved for me while perfectly behaved for mother. They switched on me...I think I prefer it when Max misbehaves:rolleyes:

And then she wouldn't go away and kept trying to steal my cheese.



At least Max is good though he did grab a piece of cheese and made a break for it. Had to pry it out of his beak...

Trouble doesn't even begin to cover Ivory :eek: She uses her cute factor to get out of trouble to....


Haha I can't imagine life without birds either though they do test their luck some days!

Sweet pics! Haven't seen good ol' Max in a while.

How long will you be on bird-sitting duty?

He's still such a brat! They came back Sunday....everyone actually got louder for a little while haha

As a gift they brought me back a cold....isn't that so nice of them! Okay they also brought me back fudge but the cold thing overrides that fact.

It's not so much wanting birds, as it is we're infected with MBS...

It's an incurable disease/addiction, that makes us dependent upon these feathered creatures, to get us through our day.

Just like any other addict... I don't know what I'd do if I didn't get my parrot "fix" every day. At this point, giving any of them up? The "withdrawals" would probably be enough to kill me... :p
