cherokeepatti Patti Jo, I've been meaning to ask you about that for a couple of weeks. I saw where you were talking to a fella, but you never came out and said you were talking about your birds. You said something about them wanting "greens" or something.
I love birds. Once upon a time, I went to the pet store and bought one. It was a hand fed cockatiel.
For those that don't know, a hand fed bird is one that was kidnapped from their mom, and raised by humans. They are as tame as a puppy. They actually think they are human.
Ever since I was a little boy, I dreamed of having a bird that can talk. So I read a book, and it said that boy birds were the best talkers. When I got to the pet store, I demanded a boy bird.
The lady at the store had a nut with a string attached.
She hovered it above the bird. She said if the nut swung one way, it was a girl, if it swung the other way, it was a boy. (Very scientific stuff)
Sure enough, my $700 cockatiel was a boy. Groovy.
After shelling out that much dough, I couldn't afford a cage, so I made my own. Wally Gator loved his cage.
Wally, my ex, and our two poodles moved to Idaho. It was so cold in the winter, that the spiders preferred to come into the living room. Wally wasn't having any part of that. Wally would crawl down from my shoulder, get on the edge of the couch and crawl down the floor. (Wally's wings were clipped, so he was more of a road runner)
Wally would run across the carpet and murder the spiders. Then Wally would make his way back to me and crawl back on my shoulder and wait to be praised. I told him that he was a very good bird.
When my ex brought a lady friend to visit, Wally hated them with a passion. When I invited a fella over, Wally was all flirty. Patti Jo, I had to face the fact that Wally Gator was gay.
I don't know how much experience you have with gay birds, but they never learn to talk.
When I washed dishes, I had to take Wally off my shoulder and put him head first into my shirt pocket.
Gay birds love that, because they fall asleep within 3 seconds. The reason I didn't allow my gay bird to remain on my shoulder, is because he loved jump into the soapy water and splash around. (gay birds are like that)
Patti Jo, then one day I went into the bedroom to get Wally out of his beautiful cage, and there was an egg in the cage!
I was so confused. I knew Wally was gay, but can gay birds lay eggs? Yes, yes they can. I just spent a fortune for a gay talking bird that doesn't talk, but lays eggs.
The first time Wally laid an egg, I just figured it was a mistake. It could happen to anyone. But after about 20 eggs, I was beginning to think that Wally wasn't a boy bird!
I've been HAD! No one wants a girl bird. All they do is jump in the dish water, kill spiders, and lay eggs.
Jo, so even though Wally never talked, she could finish the last part of a wolf whistle.
Me: Woo
Wally: Woo
I love birds. Even the gay ones.
