My bird is flat-tailing me again

[AlienGirl]

:eyes: Must be "that time of year."

[Sanity Claws]

1. What does that mean?

[AlienGirl]

2. Rubbing his cloaca on my arm with lacivious intent

Yes, I said cloaca!

[Sanity Claws]

3. Gosh won't he be disappointed

when you don't lay an egg.

[Deja Q]

4. Yuck!

Mine has never done that.

Fortunately.

5. Every time Murphee gets a little "frisky" with her toys....

I know it's "egg time" ;)

Funny thing is, she will rub her head or back underneath one of her toys and "chirp chirp chirp" for hours. :) I guess that's how birds get "frisky" :D

13. Scruffy the 'tiel has been rubbing up against her honey-stick

(quit laughing, you DU pervs, DK knows what I'm talking about).

I wonder if that's the reason.

Can't help it, even I'm laughing now, so go right ahead, I suppose!

[Darth_Kitten]

6. tell him "NO".....

:( that's supposed to stop him. Heard that somewhere on a bird site. :)

[regnaD kciN]

8. Gee, and I thought...

...leg-humping dogs were the only such offenders!

[yardwork]

7. Is he dropping his wings to show off his tail colors

and hunching his shoulders and making odd cheeping noises?

Mine used to do that to me, too.

We had to give him away when he started trying to kill my husband. Literally.

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. It's funny. My aunt's Conyor (sp) was always dive bombing my uncle

in an attempt to kill him. They had to give him away as well. And their female cockatiel is not to fond of my aunt. She (the bird) is always attempting to unbutton my uncle's shirt. It's quite funny. :hi:

16. I was surprised to find out how jealous birds are of humans

who compete with their loved ones. Our female cockatiel was friendly to me (mom), but when I wasn't around she flirted with my husband shamelessly. Tail in the air, back turned, little come-hither cheeps, the whole bit. The minute I walked into the room she quit and pretended disinterest in him. Hussy.

The male Meyer's Parrot was the one who attacked my husband. Snuck up on him and flew at his face and bit his lip. Found him a good home.

18. I am LMAO about the little feathered hussy.

That's so cute! come-hither cheeps--hahahahahahah :D :D

[keischin]

9. My dog clings to my leg whenever he wants to play...

and he's fixed!

[BikeWriter]

10. We once had an Amazon...

who fell in lust with her stuffed toy.

[complain jane]

12. My friend has a talking bird of some sort, and a cat, and...

when they first got the cat, he would creep up by the bird's cage and my friend would yell out some exclamation that really can't be translated into a typed out word very well other than "ACK" but without the hard "CK". IF that makes sense.

Anyway after a while the bird realized that this kept the cat away so now every time the cat creeps up before my friends can even get a word out, the bird now yells out the "ACK" sound and the cat slinks away.

On edit, sorry, typos.

[yardwork]

15. LOL. I heard of an African Grey that calls the cat in the woman's voice

The bird calls "here kitty kitty kitty," and when the cat comes running in the bird jumps on the cat's back.

[Cuban_Liberal]

14. Keep that thing away from my leg.

:evilgrin:

[NamVetsWeeLass]

17. Used to live across the street from a red parrot....

This thing would Curse. The family also had three timber wolf-hybrids we called the Sled dog team.... The dogs would start raising hell in Sarah's (the Sled Dog lady and one of my CNA's now) Back yard and you could hear the Parrot yelling out "shut up you fucking dogs!" He would also tell the mail man to "Get the hell off my Porch" He would do the wolf whistle and yell out "Pretty Lady" or my personal favorite He would sit there and simply repeat "Fuck".... He kind of reminded me of Jay Mewes with Feathers... God, I miss that Bird.

[yardwork]

20. ROTFL!!

This is a great thread.

Birds behaving badly.

[Kat45]

19. Senegal parrot will jump on my ex's hand and start going at it.

He tries to get the bird off his hand, once he controls his laughing. One time, I think something spewed from the bird's cloaca. Eeeeew! Sometimes when he is in the cage, the bird will hump his booda cable.

We also had a parakeet who would constantly hump her plastic ferris wheel in her cage.

[-..__...]

21. Did I ever tell you my anecdote of the Parakeet and the toy ferris wheel?

Maybe some other time.


That reminds me...


"Grandmother whacks off her pet parakeet"

By Dan Savage

As an avid reader of your column, I thought of you and only you for help with this problem. My grandmother, 78 and widowed, is a kind, generous woman who has seen her share of difficult times. She's a bit offbeat, but extremely conservative and religious. After my grandfather passed on, she purchased a lively little parakeet and named him Pretty Baby. Pretty Baby has provided wonderful companionship and entertainment for my grandmother, even learning to speak to her. Pretty is an amazing mimic, repeating phrases she has taught him: "I love you," "Lock the door," "Give me kisses," etc.

The problem is the kissing ... or what I recently witnessed the kissing leads to. One evening Pretty began to squawk "give me kisses, give me kisses" and my grandmother walked over to the cage and slipped one fnger between the bars. Pretty Baby proceeded to "kiss" her fngernail and flutter about. She purred, "Give Grandma lovin', Pretty Baby, give Grandma lovin'." She then turned to me and said, "Pretty Baby wants to give me lovin' and he won't quiet down until he does." Pretty Baby proceeded to screech more and more loudly, as he humped my grandmother's fnger wildly".
