Who here has house birds

[Miami Leghorn]

I know! It's amazing how they can live so long.


also, i know what a will is.

I have a neighbor that has over 300 pairs of breeding parrots. He's written several books and is in the process of Consulting two different exotic bird sanctuaries. He just received two macaws that were written in someone's will and he's going to take care of them for the longevity. Every month he receives funds from a trust for the birds care feeding etc etc. Yes it is true some people leave lots of money to their animals.

If I did have to get another bird I would probably get another cockatoo or a conure

I have a M2 named Paco. He's a rescue and Ive had him about 10 years now. He's more a companion than a pet. For those wanting birds, especially big ones.
They are a LOT of work, and not just something 'cute in a cage'. One minute you love them to death, the next you want to choke them to death. They need a lot more attention than just a regular bird but can give you so much more back too.

Here's a quick clip I took of paco a few years back now, wow how time flies. I often tease him and threaten to eat him, make a Paco Taco and gobble him right up, or just spank his ass. He laughs at me, he know's I'd never hurt him.

Very true, people don't realize what they are getting into and that fills the rescues, and nobody wants a rescue for some reason. I laughed at Paco taco

Here are the photos of my birbs!
Phoenix: And I forgot to tell you, her wing's drooping because when we adopted her from the rescue shelter, the people there told me that she was attacked by a cat when they found her, and that the cat broke her wing, so she can't fly. (She's still a happy cockatiel, though!)

I used to have a cockatiel as well, had him for about 12 years or so before he passed. he used to drive paco crazy, he just wanted to say hello but paco HATED him for some reason. Anytime he flew around paco had a fit. He used to love baths too Id fill the sink and he'd have that sink emptied in about 5 minutes splashing around. Paco on the other hand you try to put him in water or spray him with a decent stream and he screams like you threw lava on him. Go figure

The parakeets photos brought me back 60 years. We had some my grandfather gave us.
He worked at the ESSO (EXXON) research labs in Baton Rouge. They kept parakeets throughout the lab to test for poison gas. (Their delicate lungs were much more sensitive to small amounts of poison.) When they stopped singing, start running.

My brother in law works in a salt mine under Lake Erie. When he got the job I really wanted to buy him a canary

That does sound like a good idea to test for poisonous gas, but... the poor budgies.

True. Technology has made it unnecessary now.
