The Rickeybird Scrapbook, 1984 - Updates

Hasnā€™t nobody sung praises of Rickeybird and Gail for ages.

Come and listen to a story of the Rickeybird
a poor Patagonian whose voice was barely heard
One day he was in a pet store being all for sale,
When up through the aisle come a wanderingā€™ Gail
Redhead, you know
ImplusIā€™ve type.

Well the next thing you know old Gail had turned the page
Took Rickey home without waiting for his cage
He sat on her shoulder, was the place he had to be
And sometime by dawn they had formed a family.
Bird and human.
Just them two.

Yā€™all stay tuned now, yā€™hear?
 
I'm just gonna leave this here ....

New Thread --- "Hello, Beloveds! I have missed you!"

HELLO, BELOVEDS (human and otherwise)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I've been missing in action again... this time for a couple of months... health issues (hospital plus rehab). I wanted to explain my absence, but let's not dwell on all THAT. I'm not quite back to full-speed, but I can't wait to start catching up. I'll post this in the Rickeybird's Scrapbook, too.
I have missed you.
Okay, where do I start? New messages? New members? Ol' members?
MAN, THIS PLACE HAS BEEN BUSY!

Sheer genius. Buddy Ebsen would be proud... if anybody needs a reference...

Do you think anybody will ever ask why I call you Martypants? I THINK I can remember...
No worries. We can make up a dandy story.

Sang this in my best hillbilly incarnation to the fam earlier. They were in hysterics... wanted the Kentucky "lyrics". My sister-in-law spat out her Diet Cranberry Ginger Ale. Ah, fine parody at work.
 
Welcome back love! Geri has been going thru similar circumstances, in fact she is still in re-hab.
Wrenchie! Thrilled to hear from you; sorrysorrysorry to hear about Mrs. Wrenchie. Promise her there IS life after rehab!
Okay, this is a different kind of rehab, but it's still a good tune.
to you both... Salty, too, of course.

Helloooooo so glad you too are back!!!!
 
DANG, there is no more beautiful bird than a well-feathered, well-preened Grey. What a good-looking parrot.
You're right about the crew here... I'd almost forgotten what it's like to crack up at the antics of the parrots (and their parronts).

A first order of business upon my return... a trip to the vet.
Here's the Rickeybird raising havoc in his travel crate/play box... Note the silence when I ask a special question. Dead silence. No bird in here. Nothing to see. Move along, move along...
