my moms parrot this thanksgiving. she wanted the food on the buffet so first she flew over and knocked off the turkey stuffing breaking the bowl and after being shooed away... while cleaning was going on... she made a second attempt and knocked a carton of eggs off the counter.

Oh goodness that reminds me of a cockatiel I had. He loved snatching cereal out of my bowl in the morning and always hung around the kitchen table as I ate. Then one day I had him out as I sat down with a bowl of piping hot soup. I waved him away a few times and he didn't like it, so he decided to jump INTO the soup. Suddenly there's a screeching bird flying wildly around the kitchen, flinging soup everywhere, only to finally stop atop the curtains, still dripping soup.

Funny. My African grey, Walter used to like to go pluck hair off my pet guinea pig. We finally had to put a top since he had this huge bald spot on the top of his head.

I once had a dog that ate anything. She was a rescue and never forgot her starving days. She ate an entire fried chicken in less than 60 seconds, she pulled a ham bone out of a boiling pot, and even ate an entire pound of german chocolate that a friend mailed to my house (suddenly the UPS guy was her new best friend). She ate countless loaves of bread that she got off the counter and anything else edible. Despite that she lived to 16.

We had a dog once that not only ate bread off the counter, but figured out how to open the bread drawer to get it too! Eventually all our food was in the upper cabinets only!

Same dog would take other things from the counter. Once we found dirty dishes (not broken) in her bed across the house that she'd taken out of the sink! Still don't know how she carried them there.

Another time she ate an entire cantaloupe off the counter!

I have 2 border collies and they are CRAZY
So, my mom put Pandora (the younger one) in the kennel (and it's one of those soft kennels) and she took Solo (the older one) outside and was throwing the ball for him. Here's the thing....Pandora can't stand when Solo gets to play ball and she doesn't, so she barks and whines like she is being murdered... So back to the ball throwing....She heard my mom open the door and call Solo out, so she stated barking. (Here's the crazy part) My mom closes the door and I hear a giant ripping sound coming from the dinning room and what do ya know! Pandora is out of the kennel going crazy trying to get outside and there is a huge hole in the kennel. (It was brand new too) From that day forward she was put in a wire kennel.... It wasn't funny then, but I think it's funny now.

I had a border collie that did not seem to care for older people. My grandmother drove over and showed up unannounced. But my border wouldn't let her get out of the car. She tried phoning, but we have terrible cell service and she couldn't get through. She was out there quite a while before I ended up going out and seeing she was sitting there. She was quite upset, but I had no idea she was sitting there.

It gives me a pretty good chuckle to think about it today..

Our employers were older men and to do chores tractors had to drive past our yard to the pasture behind. The one fellow was determined to be friends with this dog...but the border was having none of it. He wouldn't let him pet him at all. Eventually the dog didn't want him being in our yard. He was a possessive dog. We had bought the plot of land from them and sometimes they still moved things around that suited them.
With the dog he couldn't. Good dog!

I have a 5yo boxer named Fawna. She's eaten so many things you wouldn't believe! She chewed up her spiked leather collar. And ate it. It had been laying over the back of our couch because she was going to be in the house for the rest of the evening. Somehow or another, we got distracted and she chewed it. Days pass and she acted sick so took her to the vet and eventually to an animal hospital that did xrays. The xrays showed metal, so we scheduled her to have surgery. And come to find out, she'd eaten part of her collar.

Another time, she chewed up my brand new lipstick and lipstain. Her paws, snout and our carpet were a bright and sparkly shade of red!

I went fishing one afternoon and let my hens and rooster roam in the backyard. When I got back my rooster had gotten out and was pacing back and forth waiting for me. Another time my bantie silkie roo got out of the yard and ran across the street and started roaming in 3 backyards. When the neighbors tried to catch him he hid in a patch of bamboo. I finally got him out after 15 minutes of chasing. I love them so much.

I also had a hamster that my cousin told to sit while she went to light the Hanuka menorah and the hamster went into a hole in the floor. My dad had to break the basement ceiling open to get her out.

This morning I took out 4 blueberries - one for each of my girls. The 3 IBs come running and get theirs right away. I call JellyBean (the EE) over and almost gave it to her when one of the IBs swooped in and took it from me.
So, I went back in got a few more pieces of fruit and one nice blueberry for JellyBean. I gave the other girls each a bigger piece of fruit hoping it would keep them occupied while I gave JB her blueberry. I let JB reach into the bowl to get her blueberry - she walked away with it in her beak. When all of the sudden one of the IBs came by and picked it right out of her mouth. Poor JellyBean.
