New toy over load! https://imgur.com/gallery/FVSMuQd
(it wouldn't let me up load a photo directly and I'm computer illiterate and can't figure out why)

So I bought albie a few new toys... They arrived today and it feels like I've bought a toy shop! He dove right in and started testing everything out, he wasn't phased by any of it. Even hubby looked and was like "you bought how many new toys?" they didn't seem that big in the pictures online.....

Although, Albie did have a thing or 2 to say about changing up his house.

My pleasure, Stitch! Imgur does have it's own "copy link" tool but I never use it. You just right click your mouse directly on the image you want to paste across, select the "copy image address" option from the drop down box, and paste it straight into the "insert image" icon on the tool bar above, the one that looks like the mountain, and that should work. Don't worry though if you can't get it to work, a friendly neighbourhood Mod will be happy to fix it up for you :)

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd... the Tubular Bell
I promised to make THE BELL my official entry, but I can't slow the video down enough to screen-grab any still photos! And my camera isn't fast enough to get any decent shots.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEivbgd7hp0
Now what am I gonna do?


Rival, any inspirations?????



Okayyyyyyyyyyyyy..........................
Here's our official entry. Gila, my love, I did my best.
Of course, we all know that it is impossible to capture the true and total charisma and character of your darling parrot,
but Gawd help me, I tried.
So, I hope to avoid sleeping on the couch.
Great bird. Adorable. Dandy. Great, great bird.
Here we go.

Thank you, Team Rickeybird! Though the Rb and his "Tubular Bells" does bring to mind the soundtrack of a certain scary movie that frightened the heebie jeebies outta me when i was far too young to have viewed it! And the look in The Bird's eye is giving me that vibe again right now, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

Hope your efforts saved you from the couch, Rival, I love this pic :D

Magnificent toy haul, shouldn't take Albie more than 10 minutes to check them out and sort for destruction!

(nonparrot friends include rats, a dog, and a few reptiles :))
All of these entries are so great and funny. Callum's favorite toys are pens and pencils, but he never understands why I take them away from him. I do let him play with empty mechanical pencils (no eraser or lead), though. If I had a picture of Callum playing with (empty) mechanical pencils, I'd have to post some.

I was thinking of going to my local pet bird specialty store. Guess I'll have to get a pic of the toy haul! Hopefully I'll have Callum's new cage in time.

Oh I hope you can get that haul of toys in for Callum too, he'll love it! I look forward to seeing his "Toy-Mageddon"!! :D
