You can't make this stuff up ... CL

Can’t be released? Tell that to the flocks off them roaming The Bay Area! Many are escaped from cages then breed in the wild. I have no idea how many die each year from the weather not being optimal but there’s a lot of them there, from Northbay all the way down to the Southbay.

Tbh this is pretty sensible

I'd be all over that, except I only play oboe.

Which pretty much guarantees that you're getting bitten...

I'm surprised he didn't ask that the person would play Jimmy Buffet songs all day long.

Hey! As a true Parrothead, i just wanna know whats wrong with playing Buffett songs all day? Could be a lot worse...like Mustang Sally and Brown-Eyed Girl all day long.

If it was this parrot, I'd totally go...

An acquaintance of mine has a parrot named "Eddie". That bird can sing harmony. No kidding.

Does it have a band, I could really use someone for next Saturday

This parrot is dead. No he isn't, he's just sleeping. Norwegian Blue, beautiful plumage.

I'm surprised it took 59 posts to get here!

I lived in New Zealand for a while and a girlfriend had a parrot. They are very smart and interesting. They are almost like having a two or three year old human child around in terms of how smart they are and how much they understand and how much attention they want.

If there was ever an argument for not getting a parrot, this is it!

When people contact me about adopting, I require that they come visit the shelter first. If the noise and mess doesnt drive them off, we can start to talk.

I play flute and sax. I lived in New Zealand for a while and a girlfriend had a parrot. They are very smart and interesting. They are almost like having a two or three year old human child around in terms of how smart they are and how much they understand and how much attention they want. You can take a Parrot out for a walk and they seem to understand when you talk to them better than any dog or cat does.

I used to play my sax for her parrot and he would dance around and strike hilarious poses and it was great fun. If I lived anywhere near that CL ad, I'd go over once or twice for an hour or two and play music and hang out with a parrot just for the hell of it.

OK ... sorry to derail ... back to what an idiot the CL parrot guy must be. I do love the bagpipes for a squirrel posts though - brilliant!

Some animals are indeed a lot smarter than one might suspect. A cat we used to co-own (if you know what i mean) which we called the C.I.A. Cat for certain reasons said "hello" to me once. It tried three times, each attempt becoming more intelligible until on the third try, out it came, an unmistakable "hello". At that point it was obvious the little critter had tried two previous times, and knew it had failed. A few years later I looked into this online and found other similar reports where cats had spoken simple words to their (ostensible) owners.

One of my birds would randomly nip me on the ear. When I said "Don't bite." he said "it's the dog!" Obviously a lie...the dog cant reach my ear.

Good thing about a parrot is that you can teach them to work as an auto-tuner or capo.

My Wolf likes it when I play finger style guitar. Not electric guitar or bass, just soft sensitive acoustic guitar. South city midnight lady seems to be his favorite song. He’s a very sweet boy.

What is the best flute for metal?

Four pages in and not one WHAT'S THE BEST PARROT FOR METAL? I mean, I know there are more than one kind of parrot.... IMWTK!

 

[Gravedigger Dav]

Well, I can't play flute, but I do love parrots, fried or broiled

With dash of paprika

That's disgusting! What kind of a low life miscreant are you? I can't believe you'd say something so offensive on TB. You have totally ruined my day.
Nobody puts paprika on parrots. Parrots should always be served with chutney sauce!

Is there any other answer?

(alright, alright, I know it’s a parakeet, don’t be picky)
