Give us the state of your bird!
Is it flying around its cage? Quiet? Eating its seed?

12. B.A.
To everyone else he earned it!! He thought he was the toughest thin on the block! He scared cats right down to their core with that jungle call of his!

21. Last night I had a very vivid dream.
I dreamed I went away and left Gabby in the care of my mother. When I got back, I started asking how Gabby was and my mother kept dodging the question. Finally she said he had died. In my dream, I collapsed on the ground screaming. I woke up almost immediately, my heart hammering in my chest.

That scared me. :(

40. It is one of the worse feelings you can have
We get so close to our bird friend that when it his, it is like losing a part of you. I have had cats and dogs, but the day I lost B.A. will always be one of the worse days of my life.

8. *points to screen name*
Mine is no more.
He's ceased to be.
If he wasn't nailed to his perch, he'd be pushin' up the daisies.

24. I think we know that, but we can't talk about that kind of bird without
getting this thread deleted. :)

So, my Amazon parrot is doing fine despite the horrible dream I had about him last night.

28. Oops
Edited on Thu Sep-22-05 10:41 PM by raptor_rider
Lay off the sauce woman!! Thought you were asking about my state bird!
:dunce:

Do not have one, however my parents had an African Gray when I was a teen. Awesome bird. 350+ word vocab and made up her own sentences and such. Was given away under dire situations. However they now have another one, just 4 months old now and already talking!
