RIDGERUNNER, I have a question!

Three words: 'atypical giant parakeet'

Three words: 'atypical giant parakeet'

One hug and you'd fall in love George. I try to put her in her coop and she manages to jump back in my arms or on my shoulder before I can get the door closed.

I always have liked parakeets. Raised them many years ago - just have no experience with the giant ones like Widget.

They do like to jump on your shoulder.

It looks like it has real feathers. I'd imagine it can fly, probably pretty well. It does not have anything blocking its vision so it could see danger approaching if it would bother to look. Maybe it could even take steps to avoid danger, though that might be a stretch. It should be able to get on a roost by itself.

I agree it is not worth cleaning, but at least it looks like a chicken. Have you figured out how to crack those tiny eggs or do you automatically use them as scrambled?

Spook, I thought of Chicken Little too. Though with Gritsar, the sky probably is falling.

[COLOR=4B0082]I do believe you're right.  Either that or he absolutely fell in love at first sight when he saw Widget's pic and is now out searching for his own itty bitty chickens.      [/COLOR]

I don't stalk Gritty. If someone wants me to answer, I need to know it.

Kind of reminds me of a Dagwood and Blondie comic I read years ago. Yes, long-term memory is better than short-term. I'm sure Sourland understands even if you young whippersnappers don't. I ramble too. Anyway, when Dag got home from work, Blondie told him to hurry and get ready for a dinner engagement they had that night. Dag said he was not aware of that engagement and Blondie was adamant she had told him. So Dag goes off to get ready. After he is gone and Blondie has her back to the room while she does dishes, she tells him, in a very conversational voice that clearly cannot be heard in the bathroom with the water running, about another engagement they have next week.

If you expect me to answer a question, it is your responsibility to make sure I heard it, not mine.

I wondered when you would get around to it. Widget can fly, but not as well as you'd imagine. She is in a secure run and only allowed out when I can chickensit. She makes me feel guilty though, when I walk by her run she paces the fence trying to get to me. Just adorable from tiny feet to cute little comb.

I don't tell Keith anything, expecting him to read my mind. Why can't you?
