desertskyz Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 OK I must have some sort of animal magnetism. This time it is a 1 year old Apricot Toy Poodle. He has just been spayed and is very friendly, travels well and is leash broke. I took him down to the vet, but he is not chipped. So now WTF do I do. I guess I will put some fliers up around the neighborhood behind our school and hope for the best. I would have rather had the tortoise find me again.

desertskyz Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Can you say Amateur Zoologist: This time when I got home from work I'm trying to enjoy Dr. Phil and all of his infinite wisdom when all I can here is the whistling (loud). So I go in search for the obnoxious noise and I go in the back and here random talking, whistling so I look around and there it is, an African Gray Parrot in my yard. I went out and he flew up on my roof. So now I'm WTF I'm gonna do this time. They have a reputation for being the most unfriendly of all the parrots. So I am contemplating what to do. This goes on of about two hours when this man shows up to my door knocking and as a towel in his his hand. I'm thinking ( I ain't answering the door) So I go around back and get my dogs and then approach the man wtih the towel in his hand. He says the bird is his and is name is ?????? I don't remember, and that he bites and swears alot. So I talk the old, fat man into going on my roof and getting the bird. Well he retrieves the bird, but now can't get down with out someone holding the bird that bites and swears. Well he finally makes in down, I didn't get bite and all is right with the world. Sorry no pic's. The Batteries in my camera are dead. Lesson learned. Can I go back to cleaning my house now or just have a beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 as long as they are wrapped up in a towel they wont hurt too bad.. its when they can get ahold of some skin you will be screamin bloody murder.

desertskyz Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Never trust parrots or monkeys. Mad Crazy creatures they are. Very unpredictable. BTW he is a rescue, so goodness only knows what he's been through. Edited March 3, 2009 by desertskyz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyvw Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 takin' this opportunity to remind everyone if you do find a WILD tortoise yer not sposed to pick it up or even touch it. in californy if one is touched it can never see the open desert again. it must be adopted to someone with a liscense. somethin about bacteria or salmonella or sumthin....anyways....just sayin'.....and by the way....anybody that likes cats.......we should share recipes.

desertskyz Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) :?: a little sensative are we? wtf...take a joke Rebecca! It's ok Pete, this is not the place. Just a personal observation for awhile now. But at least I don't have a whistling, swearing, biting African Parrot to worry about anymore. Wonder what fine, strange little creature will find my house next. I told Dan that I was going to open a zoo. Thats Janice and Diana the California cows.

Can I go back to cleaning my house now or just have a beer I don't know about unfriendly....however our Afican Gray calls me Eli when he wants something, Eha when he is slightly unhappy with me and my wife's ex's first name when he is really p'd off at me. Last time we took him to the vet the vet looks at his chart for his name and said "How is Nikki today?" Bird looks at him and said "nervous." Towels are good......welders' gloves work too. Better on the Blue and Gold. Eli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertskyz Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 This is so cool and how people can really be, but today when I got home from work I came through the front door instead of the garage and there was this large box on my step with a little post-a-note that said, "thanks for helping us with our bird". OMG these people brought me a gift. WOW. that is so cool. SEE! there are good strangers out there. So now I feel the need to go buy Gorgo, I think that is what he called him, a bird present and let these people know that I really appreciate their thanks and that their bird is welcome at my house anytime. As long as he doesn't tell my elderly lady neighbor to "S*$# my D*&^" again. What do African Grays like best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds are sensitive animals.. without consulting the owner to see what the birds likes and dislikes are you might as well just drop 20 bucks in an envelope and send it. The wifes parrot likes some things and is deathly scared of others. I would feel bad if i bought a gift for a strange bird that freaked them out and killed em. As far as usual likes.. Any medium size block toy / rope toy works best. Also a medium sized sanding perch works good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just stop over and thank them for the gift, and say Hi the to the bird and ask them if there is a toy of some fruit I could bring him. They seem like very nice people for an older couple that have a filthy mouthed parrot on their hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertskyz Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 OK i don't know that anyone of you will believe this, but tonight just sittin my garage having a then all of the sudden there is a bunch of commotion in the Giant Tree across the street. Birds squawking and a flapping, I look up and think WTF, there is this huge Great Horned Owl. OMG! He/She hung out for awhile and reek havoc on a few other pine trees close by. Dayum! Badazz! So if you live in the area of Green Way and Heather and have large trees around your hood, keep watch. No!
