1. cuddling a cockatoo? n/t

[AlienGirl]

3. Yup!

That's Gideon, who just went on a snuggle-fest.

Which means in like five minutes he'll start rubbing his cloaca on my arm. :eyes: But the snuggling part is adorable.

20. Cloaca?

I don't know what that is but the :eyes: tell me it's not pleasant.

I love birds. I'm glad Gideon's a cuddler. :7

21. Ewwwwwwwww !

Alien Girl posted a picture of a cloaca last night, I was doing my best to block it! Thanks for bringing it back! LOL
The mods removed the pic, BTW, so at least there's that.

PS: We have finches, they don't cuddle.

22. but what is it?

a birdy penis? :scared:

[4morewars]

23. LMAO, I'm still not sure !

And yet I can't get the image out of my head ! I don't think it was a birdy penis though, because the one in the picture had a birdy vagina ! Alien Girl had the picture labeled ! Maybe she will send you the pic ?
But, please alien girl, don't post it here?

I have to get to work, with images of cloaca in my head !

[AlienGirl]

6. Here he is being "The Thinker"

[frictionlessO]

8. oh he is a keen one aint he??

[AlienGirl]

10. Of course he's plotting!

He's plotting how he will take the keyboard apart...

11. ahhh a keyboard disruptor!! I knew he had a sneaky way about him!

Now doesnt he get to outlive you?

and by the by I checked out the the voices tell you to vote site and thats funny stuff! I empathize completely and think it could only make things better!

I especially like the web designer quote at the bottom!

[AlienGirl]

12. Of course he'll outlive me!

I have 20 years, tops. He's only 10; he has a good 70+ years to go...so my grandchildren, eventually, will get him! :evilgrin:

LOL, thanks! I'm the web designer. :-)

13. Twenty years! are you 60 or 70?

My friends picked up a crow later in life and they are expecting to have to give her to someone... they're gonna have their hands full, that birds got more intelligence than most people I know!

Also I empathize with your right to make fun of the psychosis that plague us... how the heck do you overcome it if you cant laugh at it!

[AlienGirl]

14. I'm 31, on my second year in remission

But my cancer has a high rate of second-primary tumors, and the 5-year survival rate is 55% (unchanged in 30 years).

16. oh shitty! I am alas a nincompoop!

Excuse the foot in my mouth please.

I am sorta at a loss for words...

You let me and all DUers know when you want or need good vibes prayers candles spells whatever, ok? yeesh you've been on DU since 01 so Im like
talkin' out my ass...

again my most sincere empathy.

[AlienGirl]

17. Not a prob!

I'm just fine with mortality. :-)

[frictionlessO]

18. that is refreshing!

I still cant figure out if Im really living are still dead from the last time.! :)

[AlienGirl]

19. I know people with that problem!

[dr.strangelove]

7. The bad part of DUing on my blachberry is that I can't see photos

This must look cute. I will check it out tomorrow morning.

[AlienGirl]

9. I get this great sense of wonder

When I bury my face in Gideon's feathers and he's making little chirpy happy sounds, it will suddenly occur to me that this is a *bird*, a descendant of dinosaurs and heir to the sky, a creature who is no more "domestic" than his wild grandparent was; and here he is snuggling into the crook of my neck and using his beak that could crush a knuckle to preen my hair; and I see the wild intelligence in his eye, and I know there is something of the great mystery in that moment...

15. Happiness is a warm gun!

She's not a girl who misses much
Do do do do do do
oh, yeah
She's well acquainted with
the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pain
The man in the crowd with the
multicolored mirror on his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his
hands are busy working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which
he ate and donated to the National Trust

I need a fix cause I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix cause I'm going down
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun

Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun mama
When I hold you in my arms
and I feel my finger on you trigger
I know nobody can do no harm
Because Happiness is a warm gun mama
Happiness is a warm gun, yes it is
Happiness is a warm, yes it is, gun
Ah, don't you know that
Happiness is a warm gun mama

When I first heard the song, I thought it was...
"My penis is a warm gun"
It made the "and I feel my finger on your trigger" part a lot dirtier than it really is :P

24. LOL....didya know that "bird" is slang for a girl's "parts" in parts

of the South? I thought this was a pornographic thread....
