First, today is Husband's birthday and I had not gotten his gift. He wanted a JBL Extreme wireless speaker and the stores here have been out of stock. Well I found them at Best Buy so I took my lunch and got the gift. Now when I get home, I always get a loud greeting from Buddy. If Husband walks in first, nothing, no peep. He sees me and calls out, but of all days, today, as I’m walking in the front door, hands full, a man is jogging past our house and as I open the door, Buddy does a lllloooonnnnnggggg wolf whistle. The guy turned to look at me and I turned to see if he had heard. Yep he had so I yell, “that was my bird, say Hello Buddy.” Thankfully Buddy replied with a lazy “Welwo!”. So So embarrassing.

Thanks Buddy, lol!

Yeah, well, Tusk sits up in the tree where he can't be noticed easily, and tells people walking by on the sidewalk to "GET OUTTA HERE!" using my voice...

(It's a phrase I used to chase a cat away. He picked it up immediately. Uses it in context when he doesn't like someone, or something... )

It's actually rather amusing at times. Kiwi is a show-off. Poofing up, and telling passers by "HI! come here! (Then making telephone noises.)"

When they do, Tusk tells them to "GET OUTTA HERE." :D

Mark I'm surprised you don't have a following that shows to your house for tree time. I love your flock.

My neighbors are used to it.

Actually, they seem to think I'm "the neighborhood cat lady, only with birds!"

A lot of folks actually CROSS the street and look away to AVOID making eye contact with the crazy person... :p

Mark, you need to write a book.

But seriously the next time I ever get a vacation, I want to visit you and the birds even though I'd probably leave with broken ribs from laughing so hard.

As for comedic timing, Sydney laughs after he bites, or when he goes all "attack bird" and flies at me. Gonzo's great too, because after I get attacked, he goes, "You okay?" THANKS, I'M GREAT.
