"Zulus... Thousands of 'em!!!"
Just thought i'd add something a little light hearted in a night of re-posts and blah-news. :)
If you stuck me in the broom closet......you'd hear from me too.......
This is the best story of the day.
Our Sun Conures enjoyed the photo, but one of them bit me while typing this reply. (A$$hole bird belongs to the wife.)
ya'11 may not know it, but no round of joke-telling among my hispanic family is complete without at least one joke in Spanish about a foul- mouthed parrot.
My son has an African gray. Smartest animal on the face of the earth. He mimics anything.
I am owned by an African Grey named Buster, and I am here to testify that he talks a blue streak. "Get in the water! Take a bath!" he says when he wants his bathtub. "What, Sweetie-girl? Wanna come out?" to his late companion, cockatiel Sweetie. He gobbles like a turkey, crows like a rooster, whistles like a husband puttering in the workshop, and calls the dog. "Bertie! Bertie-Dog!" His only profanity is a whispered, "Oh, sh*t!" Since AG's live about as long as humans, he and I will be growing old together, at least for a while, since he is only 11 and I am almost 62. It's great fun to have his companionship, and I recommend it to anyone with the money to spend and the disposition for the care and training of such an intelligent creature.
