OK I need help. Up at 530 and started hearing a strange sound outside. Home alone my husband is in Boston visiting my son. It just so happened to be one of the Buff laced polish I thought was a pullet. NO HE IS NOT... Man it's hard to tell with them. My luck I gave away all the girls that I raised this winter.Anyone want him he is gorgeous?Anyone know of anyone that would want him? I know the one neighbor across the street will call the town come Monday. He confronted me last summer about calling the town on him for having 10 grocery carts in the yard. At one point they were piled high like lawn art.I didn't call the town I went up to the store and asked them to come get them. He came onto my propery one night looking to talk to my husband about why I was sooo mean to him .When my husband wouldn't come to the door he refused to leave. I went crazy to say the least (the words coming out my mouth were as if I was possessed by a drunken Irish sailor) . The guy is 6'5'' When he finally did leave an hour later the cops knocked on my door telling me he called them because I was harrassing him.The house has been a thorne in my side for a long time.. The land lord is a piece of ... He rented the place to a drug rehab center about 2 years ago.Two people have already been found dead in there from overdoses. I call the cops ever other week. I had absulutely no say with the town as to him renting it to them..SORRY I'm on a rant Thanks for letting me vent Carol(not a typist)

Sorry to hear about your roo problem. I have 9 BO's that are strait run. So I'm sure I will have my fill of roo's. My neighbor just ate their 3 roo's so pretty sure they don't want any. Good luck with your crazy neighbor. I am extremely lucky to have fantastic neighbors.

I had a Starling that I rescued, his name was Kramer, and I had him for 11 years.
One of the smartest birds I have owned, and his vocabulary beat most of my parrots.

Hey, Roberta! Howya feelin'?

Here's a picture of the latest update on the coop. Roof framed and a hole added for the first window. There will be an identical window on the other side above the nesting boxes.

Can Bobby build a coop or what? Looks absolutely fantastic. Did he do this from a plan or was it a design you guys made up. It looks twice as strong as my shed. Good luck with the rest of the construction. It should be a beaut when it's finished.

Roberta, did he talk, or just understand words?

He talked up a storm! Hi Kramer, Hi mommy, silly bird, gaagaagaagaa (like the Popeye laugh).
He was a blast. He would stick his head in his water dish to listen to the echo, and amuse himself all day.
Very smart bird.
