Slater:

When Mister Slater’s Parrot says hello  
a geezer likes to get one on the go  
we hope to hear him swear  
we love to hear him squeak  
we love to see him crushing fingers in his horny beak

From the Bonzo Dog Band

My other would be Eleanor. My dad knew someone named Eleanor who had a parrot. The parrot got out of the house and the last anyone saw of it, it was being chased across a field by a hawk. The poor thing was crying Eleanor! Eleanor! Eleanor!

Some of you people are just sick… that’s why I love you all.

Hannibal the Cannibal Cockatiel is doing just great this morning, he wasn’t wanting to eat (according to one of the links that spathiphyllum gave that is normal at his age and is because he is getting ready to take his first solo flight, he should be back to narmal soon.) so I added a bit of organic applesauce baby food to his baby bird formula, he seems to like it .

elelle,  
I am doing wonderfully well, I’m better than I have been in years, I go for walks everyday and actually feel like a real live human being. Thanks for asking dear lady.
