SMOOSHES and "THE DEAD"

SMOOCHES and "THE DEAD"

I've been with Mommy now, for about 13 months.
She used to, before I came around, have herself "Dead Concerts". She says they would start early in the evening, and go on till mid-morning.
Well, the other night, she pulled out those shiny, round things, and put them in that black box. Let The Concert Begin!!
We had a ball, for hours!!!!! Sing and dancing.Then she tried to put me to bed
This is "The Greatfull Dead"!!!! Are you MAD?!?!?!!? Let's party!!!!
She refused to dance, so I just sat on my perch.
Every time a song ended, I would run out onto my patio and "scream" for more.
I guess it might have been around 2 or 3, I don't know. I can't read a clock!!!! She asked me soooooo many times between songs, I learned to say "Can We Go To Bed"?
I'm not even 1 1/2 My Name Is SMOOCHES and "I'm A Dead-Head"!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait for the next concert!!!!!!

BIRDS-PARROTS INFO- BOOKS ( QUAKER MONK PARAKEET)

Do you have a bird you'd like to know more about?

Are you interested in a bird, but not sure if it's right for you?

Trying to decide which bird might suit you best?

I have a few helpful hints.

You can learn more thru books, or E-zines.

You can explore differences in birds through charts.

If your thinking about a bird as a new pet, you may consider adoption.

Many birds live 50-80 years. Maybe they out-lived their companions.

Now in need of a new home. Please think about it!!!!!!!!!!

PARROT BIRD FOOD NUTRITION (QUAKER MONK PARAKEET)

FOOD and NUTRITION should be at the top of your list when caring for your Parrot, or Parakeet. Pellets are designed with the best nutrition in mind. They should be your Bird's staple.

Follow this up with healthy foods, such as fruits and vegies. Many birds love meats of all sorts. Meat should be fully cooked, and have a lo/no fat content.

I put a lot more health info on my site. Read more about Diet. Find a great selection of Bird Food. I even put up a list of Favorite Foods, and Toxic Foods, and another of Toxic chemicals.

MONK PARAKEET TOYS

BIRD TOYS

The Monk Parakeet has a lot of energy. While your off to work he needs something to keep him sane. TOYS!!!!!!!!!!!! Monks love their toys. Love 'em so much they destroy them.

The toys destroyed most, are probably favorites. Don't go buy exactly the same, but similar. This will help to keep the mind active.

When replacing your Monk's toys, move things around a bit. The more stimuli, the better.

"IF YOU TOUCH MY TOYS, YOU MAY LOOSE BODY PARTS!!!!!!!!!!"

You might consider re-locating your "little monster" before doing the toy exchange!!!

It'll probably be better for all involved.

You can find lots-o-toys at jaytee's Quaker Parrots.

BIRD CAGES (QUAKER- MONK PARAKEET)

CAGES

Your Quaker's cage is very important to his health and life.

The Quaker has been known to live over 30 years. He calls cage Home!

Most recommend a minimum size of 18x18x24. This allows space to stretch the wings, and have a couple toys.

Sounds to me, like a life sentence!!!!!

You might want to go a little bigger. Make some space for exercise, and a few more toys.

The Quaker is high spirited. The added toys, and space will keep him entertained while your off to work all day.

You can view some Quaker Homes at jaytee's Quaker Parrots.

MONK PARAKEET

The Monk Parakeet, also known as The Quaker Parrot, or Quaker Parakeet, is a high spirited little guy. You'll find a "whole-lo-a-parrot" in this little bundle of feathers!!

While the speech may not compare to the "Grey", or some "Amazons", the Monk's speech far exceeds most Parrots.

The Monks personality, far exceeds the "Grey", and the "Amazons".

The Monk is known for LPS (Little People Syndrome). The Monk is very territorial. They have been known to attack owner, spouse, children, cats, and even large dogs.

These tendencies are possible with any Monk. With proper training, most Monks will be fun loving, and a great joy for the whole family.

As long as he's not "caught in the act", seeing a 4 oz. Parrot chase an 80 lb. dog down the hall can be rather entertaining! Did I mention they're "High Spirited"!!!

You can read more about the Monk at jaytee's QUAKER PARROTS.

Just Because We Can't Affor It!!!!!!!!

In direct response to, gaileo,
No, I absolutely agree, "being a pet owner, should not only be for the rich"!!!!!

I am a self employed (I hate the term "Handy-Man")!!!!!!!!

In this F'ed up economy, I've been spending a lot of time at home. Instead of at work!!!!!!!!!

My fav TV program is "The Dog Whisperer"!

It got me to thinking, it would really be nice to have a pet of my own.


Then I thought a little bit more...........!!!!!!!!!!!

I can barely feed my son, and myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can I possibly take care of an animal, no matter what that animal may

be?!??!!?!??!!?!?!?!?!?!?!

There is a "GREAT FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY"!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not just the purchase of the animal, or the food!!!!!!!!!!

They require much more than that!!!!!!


The healthiest of pets, require spaying, neutering, and various shots.


Not to mention, their need for a small, personal home, toys, etc..


Yes I absolutely agree, they require mental wellbeing,........

But they need sooooooooooooooo much more!!!!!


If a person can't afford to buy the pet.........


There's no possible way, they can afford to take of the pet!!!!!!

Tropical birds are extremely emotional Photo: DREW GARDNER
Fred, an African Grey parrot, was owned by George Dance, who had raised him from a chick.
After Mr Dance died nine months ago, Fred became depressed and bit off all of his neck feathers. He also began to bob his head up and down all day as a result of his low mood.
The bird has now been prescribed a twice-daily liquid dose of a bird-friendly version of Prozac, called Clomicalm.
George's widow Helen, from Somerset, told The Sun: "He has been in quite a state since my husband died.
"Fred was very close to George and became depressed."
According to experts, tropical birds are extremely emotional and the number who require anti-depressants is growing.
Late last year, a collie-Labrador cross called Winnie was given Clomicalm after it began to cry and pace nervously.
An animal behaviorist diagnosed Winnie with canine separation anxiety, and the mood-altering drug now helps her to cope.
There are many birds out there, who lost their loved ones, for countless reasons. Some of them might be looking at decades of frustration, and uselessness (is that a word?).
I implore you to to take a look at my blog on Adopt A Friend!!!!!!!
You might find a "life-long companion".
Take a look. What can it hurt???????

They Don't Know What They Say !!!!!!

They Don’t Know What They Say!!!



Things birds say

Don’t mean a thing.

What comes from their mouths

Is just mimicking.

Why then, when I leave

Does he say Bye-Bye?

Some time before nine

We Go Beddie-Bye.

When music is playing

He says Lets Dance.

The things he does

Put me in a trance.

The words they say

They don’t know the meaning.

Maybe they’re wiser

Than the Human Being!!!!!!
