What’s the most embarrassing thing your bird has ever done?

[Aerski]

I took Crystal to the grocery market to socialize her more, when she sees a lady walk by her, and like she knew what she was doing, gave her the sexy whistle! It was so embarrassing, she thought I did it, so she kept walking faster.. :35:
We were also taking her to Petco once, and the lady at the cash register gave her a grape.. she didn’t want it and flung it straight on the lady’s eyelash. That brings up the question, what’s the most embarrassing thing your bird has ever done?

The sexy whistle is the worst.

Henry did it to the aircon service man. He gave me the evils. I blamed the bird.
He acted odd the rest of the time, and offended.

In the world of serious sexual misconduct issues and #metoo, wolf whistling birds are a real issue.

During the good weather months I often take clark to mom and pop stores and most the owners, workers know him.

He's normally really good but once he pooped on me in a store and I was like oh crap!

Still embarrass on my birb for that.

Oh that is an easy one...


I was on the phone with my mother - a nice wellbred churchgoing lady well in her 70-ies- and the macaw was being hormonal and rather loud with the tailgrabbing and panting (on the other side of the room).
So halfway into a story about one of my aunts, my mother pauses and asks me (rather delicately) if I had "one of those films running on my computer"(she meant porn of course) and advised me to "maybe do something about soundlevels because it might be a tad louder than I intended" (and the neighbours might hear it as well).


I explained the situation of course, but it still sounded as a lame excuse!

Haha gold That's the thing - Ya try and explain it away, and it always looks worse on you...
The featherballs are too cute and innocent for that!

Cake switches between cat calling and growling as we pass people.

The most awkward time this happened was when I passed a bunch of tradesmen they cat called at me which nerved me a lot until Cake cat called back... The worst part was I don't think they saw the bird on my shoulder.

Mambo doesn’t make me embarrassed that way but he has already removed the manicure from 2 people.
Looks like he found a way to not hurt and once he removed 2 nails and the other 4!!

Yipes!

Good stories!

Here's mine, from the Rickeybird Scrapbook. The caption tells what happened, and the expressions give the rest of the story. "Maggot" was a popular insult in the '90s... I can't IMAGINE where he picked that up (ask my ol' man).

Ah there are so many to choose from. Walking out the door with poo on my back...a big poo. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Java got spooked in my room and pinballed all over the place until he fell in my trashcan. Poor guy, I couldn't help but laugh.

Paparker hasn’t been very embarrassing. But I’m also a victim of the sexy call. We took Parker and the dogs for a walk and Parker whistled at a lady in tight worjoust closthes who was jogging Past us.

Fortunately in the distance I think I saw her laugh but I could easily have beeen slapped.

Kiwi has on a few occasions been in 'amazon death mode' and aggressively charged right over the edge of his cage. Being a flightless bird, this makes for a fairly humorous decent to the floor followed by the scuttle of shame (noises of indignantion included) back up the side of the cage.. Sorry buddy, I will totally laugh every time (once verified he isn't hurt, beyond pride) because even animals are subject to some good old fashion instant karma when being a total jerk face!

I posted this in a similar thread, but I always do the cat call whistle to Peanut because she usually does it back. I walked out on the porch one day while the fed-ex guy was delivering a package to the neighbors and without thinking I did the cat call. Of course Peanut didn't do it back that time and the guy looked over at me like I whistled at him. So I'm the one who whistled, but it's the bird's fault because I wouldn't have done it otherwise.

She also poops on the arms of the chairs all the time and one time I didn't notice that I put my hand in it and I smeared it right on my face.

Sludge the purple crown was a very VERY loving little bird, in a physical sense, and he didn’t mind who or what he did it with or to or at... me, hubby, shoes, houseguests... “just sit back and think of England it’ll be over soon!” When you’re that cute & only a few inches long you can get away with anything!

When the Rb wolf-whistles, it's in a very parroty-sounding non-whistle "RIT ROO!" so I'm probably safe from much embarrassment there...

This isn't very embarrassing, but it was a bit. I teach special education and last year, I had my U2 in the room. A student was adamant that he was going to teach her a new word--he hadn't met Noodles before. Anyway, he started getting in her face and yelling (edit- LOUDLY saying) "turtle" and I calmly explained that cockatoos weren't the best talkers and while they could talk, it usually took several instances of exposure to a word before they picked it up (while explaining that he needed to step back a bit etc). The student kept going in a very obnoxious way...I repeated, "_____, it's not going to work, she won't just repeat a new word like that unless she has heard it many times before." No sooner did I finish my sentence when Noodles very clearly said, "turtle". She hasn't said it since LOLLLLL! Of course anytime any person walked into the room for the rest of the day I got to hear a very shrill "I TAUGHT THAT BIRD A NEW WORD-TURTLE! SAY TURTLE NOODLES!!!" (of course, she didn't say it again).

I love the TCM theme music in the background. One of my favorite channels.

That was cute. The only bird in the world who can't do a wolf whistle. I think even pigeons can do it lol.
