You know you have found a good one when...

You can hear him singing and dancing with the birds (and discussing good song choices for their birdy dancing) in the kitchen as he does the dishes in his underwear hahaha. I'm onto a winner here! =)

RavensGryf · Aug 20, 2014

You're funny Sophia

You so deserve a good one too!

Birdman666 · Aug 20, 2014

It's nice to hear someone actually still consider that sort of behavior "a good one" and not "freak" or "wierdo."

Same planet. Different worlds.

Ever since Rachel died, I get the ultimatum. Get rid of your birds or I am leaving...

veimar · Aug 20, 2014

Oh you're so funny! That's cool! My hubby doesn't dance with the birds, but he likes to take care of them.

SilverSage · Aug 20, 2014

I was just looking through my phone pictures last night and thinking "Man who washes dishes shirtless with a bird on his shoulder? Check. Man who holds a 'secret' bundle that turns out to be a budgie? Check!" It is sooooo important for us bird lovers to be with people who agree!

Now, he generally doesn't do dishes, but he brings home a good wage, loves me, and loves my pets. I like the sound of your man as well

I hope it lasts.

Speaking as a man, thank you for not posting that pic! Hahaha!

Just so you know, though, he's got a mighty good one himself, Sophia.

Agapornis · Aug 20, 2014

Haha, I love it! My hubby, who didn't even WANT to get birds, is now so crazy about our little monsters that he wears a special bird hat in the house, and walks around with 2 birds on top of his head.

Oh, and he will also workout with Zumba DVDs with them riding on the hat or shoulders! He's a keeper

SilverSage · Aug 20, 2014

My husband didnt want them either! He said to me when we were dating "I am a dog person, not an animal person." And then he met my sister's cat and it was all "are you sure we can't take her with us?" and then he met my other sister's budgies and was immediately bouncing up and down like a little boy; "Are they tame? Can they sit on my finger? Can I pet them? Do they like me? Do they talk? Can we keep them????" He had just never been around pets other than dogs and mean cats before!

Now he has a special relationship with my birds, and keeps declaring "This one is mine now! You can have the others, but this one is mine!" Which is funny because most of them prefer him anyway

Yep. Turn in your MANCARD right now... This is confiscated until further notice. Now repeat after me: Tools! Let's go build something. Not now, the game's on! Honey, get me another beer...

Again...

Again...

Birdman666 · Aug 20, 2014

Actually, it's

Tools! Let's make some bird toys and playstands...

The game's on, but it's kinda one sided and boring. Anything else on?

And actually, I drink reds... not beer.

SilverSage · Aug 20, 2014

Hahahaha. This is why my husband only snuggles the birds when we are alone. When there are other men around they are "her birds"

Birdman666 · Aug 20, 2014

Yeah. Having your buddies revoke your Mancard is one of those things that just grates on your nerves... primarily because they don't know when to shut up about it.

Fortunately for me, as a skydiver and a wingwalker... all I have to say is open the door at 15,000 feet and come out and get it!

No?!

Wanna hear some SHRINKAGE jokes?!

Yeah. Shrinkage trumps mancard every time.

That isn't why I jump, by the way, but it is a nice little perk... no one will ever accuse me of not having the balls to do something stupid. So I don't have to unless I am actually in the mood too... (Doing something stupid is in the genetic code of every guy, i think. I just wanna do it when I'm in the mood. Not when my idiot friends try to shame me into it!)

SilverSage · Aug 20, 2014

My husband has freefall wings from his time at the Air Force Academy... that tends to be something he can rely on, haha. That and being in the Infantry, and other things. I am not a man so I won't pretend to understand quite how manliness is measured among men

Pretty sure "ability to snuggle birdies" is not a qualifier. However on a scale of attractiveness to one's wife, the ranking works a bit differently!

Birdman666 · Aug 20, 2014

It is not something that is measured... so much as it is something that is continuously ridiculed.

You could have Arnold's body, played professional football, done sideline work as an MMI Cage Fighter and someone, somewhere will still call your manhood into question for no real reason other than to see the look on your face when they do it...

And if that look is, shall we say, priceless?

Good luck living that one down.

Of course, I just play the video of myself and a beautiful young woman doing a two way on a rubber duck in a vertical inverted spin from 15,000 feet, at 204.5 mph. Then the look on their face becomes priceless... and the shrinkage card comes into play. (Let's face it, it's good for my fragile male ego!)

See? Now that's exactly what I am talking about... I do that stuff and MY GIRLFRIEND tried to revoke my mancard!

OUCH!

Shrinkage jokes don't work on her. She's immune.

Videos of blatant stupidity only serve to prove her point... (See! Yer not a man, yer really just a great big child!)

The phrase: "Hey! I'm a guy..." which is supposed to be my "get out of jail free" card in these situations... Apparently she didn't get the memo...

So I had to go sit in the corner with a paper bag over my head... in shame.

(Fortunately, I snuck a parrot into the bag to keep me company in my time of great shame!

)

BACON · Aug 21, 2014

There are still some guys out there like that haha. ;P dunno about dishes tho... But everything else (thumbs up) haha.

Oh.... And plenty of people think it's weird haha.

SilverSage · Aug 21, 2014

My husband used to say "hey, I'm a guy" and I said "Well I thought I married a MAN, not a big child" and he didn't use that excuse again.

SHRINKAGE!!!

Of course I'm an overgrown child! What do you think the phrase "I'm a guy" means... And how could you have NOT known that when you married me... (insert funny examples from when you were dating here) SEE! YOU LOVE THAT ABOUT ME...

Seriously...

Without the occasional random act of stupidity, life becomes a meaningless existence!

SilverSage · Aug 26, 2014

Haha, no, it was said mostly in jest

To be honest I never really saw his "childish" side until we were married, but yeah, I love it about him.
