Render Unto Caesar

Ah, the one Frank went to?

I wanna hear what they have to say about all this election stuff..
(also, how they are)

They didn't go there. I talked to Morgan on the phone. He's over social media for a while.

He's an old married man with kids and no time for forums or Facebook

With three kids you have no free time for anything else!

Plus the zoo they have at home!

I met the bird in person last month. Nearly took my ear off!

Miss you peanut!

Grins...

You have no idea! fish, birds dogs, cat, hamsters, you name it!

You have two ears, don't you. Surely you wouldn't begrudge one for the nice birdie?!

The bird doesn't like Italians

The crazy bird has turned into a lap bird, he has to be with one of us at all times.

Great pix. Tnx for sharing.

Good to see your return.

Thank you,

That bird is a handful. He's like having four kids in the house

can birds be housebroken? I always wanted a parrot. The only place Ive seen em is in some barber shops

Never heard of any bird getting housebroken. The people who owned birds were during my childhood, and that was only one family. They kept paper on the floor of the cage.
Our son had a small aquarium with a few gold fishes, that was was in his young teens.

actually I meant a parrot. I had a pet crow as a kid and he was housebroken. He learned early never to poop on the floor , thqt was the way he learnt to live in the house and watch tv nd follow me around. He would sit on my shoulder and nip at my ear if he needed a drink because my mom scared the **** out of him when she slammed a toilet bowl lid that almost splatted him. I almost had him crapping in the toilet till the lid incident. But he already used a litter pan that he took to very early and cover his dumps . Only little birds crap where they sleep.

An aunt on my dads side had a whole bunch of canaries and they made more dumps than a trash truck.

I like birds. We see hummingbirds in our back yard some times (rarely), but did see some love birds. Mostly crows.

PS, that is one cool looking bird. He has a look that says"Ive got something going on in my head and if you dont do what I want, you wont like what I can get into"
We hqve border collies that give off that same look

I don't remember Fred, Dys and Diane's wonderful conure, as being house broken, not sure on that, but he was a swell pet. Much love going on there.

Many decades ago when I used to travel, on one of my trips to South Africa, we saw many birds. There was a small bookstore. I think it was at one of the hotels where we stayed, with a book on South African birds. There was only one, and a prof, Richard Pimentel, from Cal Poly (San Luis Obispo), picked it up before me, and purchased it. When we returned from the trip, he sent me a bird book.
On that same trip was a guy named Dan Piel. He was a graphic artist that once directed a Madison Avenue marketing firm, and was teaching at Cal Poly in the Graphic Arts department of the university. He sent me an original oil painting that now hangs in our entry hallway. He did a painting of John F Kennedy that now hangs at the Smithsonian.

I've had six birds (parakeets/budgies) over the course of me life. None was house-trained. It never occurred to us to even try to house-train a boid.

You know this bird has only done his business on his perch, in his cage or while he’s sitting outside. If he’s been on your shoulder too long and has to go he starts nibbling on your ear, that’s his way of telling.
