I haven't really talked about it, but my wonderful Macaw died about a year ago. I felt like I lost my best buddy because we had been together for over 30 years and it was really hard losing him.

But, life goes on and it was getting quiet around here, so we needed some activity in the house.

Meet Nibbler, a Congo African Grey. I got him around a month and a half ago, he's 18 weeks now. He is hand reared, fully flighted and a blast. He's as tame as a puppy, he already talks a bit, mumbles a lot, and whistles some tunes I taught him. Greys are incredibly intelligent, learns not only to talk, but also knows what words mean so they frequently puts words together and comes up with sentences you didn't even say to them.

Here's a couple pics of the little featherduster.

Just hanging out:

Caught mid squark:

After his twice weekly bath:

I'm FLYING:

Look, I'm a flying parrot:

Ever since a kitten my siamese can't tolerate anything with duck, makes him puke.

This means I look at the cans of wetfood they get and make sure to stay away from the ones with chicken and duck.

He's been puking and not eating his food lately so I check out the cans.. and sure enough it's duck and chicken even though the label is blue and chicken and duck is yellow.

Yep, the scumbags have changed the colors. The colorscheme is clearly so you can grab the type you want, each can has a different color depending on what's in it.

I guarantee this is some shitbag marketing fuck that noticed the sales were down on duck and chicken and then flipped the colors, voila sales are up!

I wish these piece of shit companies would die in a fire in front of thier kids.

Same with this trend of putting out a new product. At first the quality is first rate and people notice and start buying. Then slowly the quality deteriorates, the markening shitbags are closely watching the sales, as soon as the sales start dropping they know they gone to far and up the quality back to last testresult. Slowly making the product cheap and shitty until the lab rats (us) notice.

My cats are experts at making my life hell.

I'm switching to a new even higher quality food for the little furballs. Of course one will have none of that and won't eat it.

I remove their dryfood or the picky eater will gorge himself on that, he doesn't drink as much as he should so letting him eat only dryfood would be an excellent way to get a huge vet bill from kidney stones..

This of course leeds him to lick the now empty foodbowl in the middle of the night with his raspy sandpaper tongue making the most annoying 'chalk on a blackboard' sound...

Rasp rasp rasp rasp rasp rasp rasp rasp rasp rasp rasp rasprasp rasp rasp rasp rasp rasprasp rasp rasp rasp rasp rasp

CUT IT THE FUCK OUT.

Rasp rasp rasp rasp rasp rasp rasp rasp rasp rasp rasp rasprasp rasp rasp rasp rasp rasprasp rasp rasp rasp rasp rasp.

I removed the bowl, now he will probably take revenge by shitting in my shoe or something...

I can see he's plotting it now, sitting high in his cattree giving me the stinkeye. He for some reason loves to stare at me when I sleep, he will sit on the table near the bed and just STARE at me, always watching... I open an eye and there he is... staring at me, plotting my doom.

He also found out a great trick to do at night. One of the closets in my bedroom has a door that's a little bit off when closed. He will wait until I'm asleep and will then take a running jump at it and flick off it, like a cat walldodge. It makes the loudest fucking bang, I almost pissed myself the first time he did it.

Furry terrors! I love em' dearly but damn...

Anyone remember the pics I posted on the old forum of the new German Sheppard puppy I got?

He is All grown up now so here are some pics.
