Officially, crazy bird woman! Dang it!

[Mare Miller]

I've been trying to hide for so long but got busted the other day in the market. No,,, it wasn't poop down my back.

This woman is standing behind me in line and very exuberantly, says "OH MY GOD!, you have parrots!!". I turn around, and am taken aback, and say, "yes...how did you know?". She says, "I could tell by your flip-flops, they are all chewed up, just like mine!!" She has a Goffin's 'too!, just like mine!

Ha ha That is so funny... What is it about Flipflops that our Birds love?

Last Week Codie came down from her playstand without me noticing... when I realised she had gone, I went looking for her and there she was in the Kitchen with one of my Flipflops merrily pulling them to pieces :11:

Oh goodness THAT IS TOO FUNNY!! I have to wear my Converse around Oliver.

That's hilarious! I haven't been busted yet, but one of these days I'm going to go out with poop, I'm sure!

The other day, I'm in the store, and a guy asks me, "What kind of birds do you have?" I told him about my birds, and he told me about his. I mentioned to my wife, when I got home, (she was not with me in the store) that he probably asked me because of my shirt which had a photo of parrots on the front. She informed me that, no, it was probably due to the bird poop on my shoulder.

That is too funny! I guess we just can't hide the fact that we are crazy bird people!

 

[horsesculpter]

Yep, thats us. We have been doing trade shows in our business for thirty years where we sell art and jewelry. This summer as we were setting up for one of our shows a young boy came running up the aisle. He skidded to a stop with a delighted look and yelled "Wonderful, the parrot people are here!". We don't sell parrot anything, Sunny wasn't with us and she had only been there once, the year before. A thirty year career, and thats all forgotten. We are the "parrot people"

 

[Mare Miller]

We are "special", for sure!

Flip flops are the best to chew on. I had to hide them away from the kids as toddlers. My mother in law had trouble with her puppy stealing them and running off to chew them! I haven't tried them myself but everyone else loves them.

Ya never know, they might even ending up tasting.... good.

I babysit my 9mo. old nephew a few times a month and, (I'm happy his mom isn't a member on the forum to read this), I've had to pull my flip-flops from his mouth, more than once! After the second time, I left them outside from then on! Puppies do love them, too, Pookamama!
With my next new pair, I might experiment with taste, it may be texture, I'll let you know!

 

[MickeysMom]

That is hilarious!

At our house we take our shoes off at the door......well little miss Mickey, just loves to go through them...and used to chew on all of them! Finally we gave her "her pair" of flip flops......so now when she heads over to the shoes, and we say "get yours Mickey" she always grabs one of "hers" and takes it out to the middle of the floor to chew and throw around!

What always gives us away as "bird people" is hubby's shirts.....Junior loves to customize the shoulders with intricate little designs.... I have tried to explain to hubby, that if he doesn't want holes in the shoulders, he should have a "bird shirt" or two that he wears. But Junior is his baby, and he is always on his shoulder, so prolly not gonna happen lol.

Pretty much all my clothes are ruined to some extent thanks to Merlin. If it's not poked holes in the shoulders, it's the design been chewed and pulled off, etc. My "Moody Cow" diamanté pyjamas are just "Moody Cow" faded back colour

LMAO! Well, that's one way to distinguish yourself from the "crowds"!!

I have to be careful what clothes I wear around Sugar, as she too will happily put holes into them! She isn't a ninja with anything or anywhere unless it's putting holes into cloth. My bedspread is toast!
