 Friday, June 22, 2012 I am Bird of the Day!
My mom's good friend had several cockatoos and when they laid an egg and I hatched, they gave me to my mom and dad. Even the vet said I was the ugliest bird she'd ever seen since my bird mom plucked me when I was 3 months old! But see, the Ugly Duckling story is really true!!! hehehe. |

Hi Picabo
How are u sweetie? Nothing much happened here today, except mom stayed home all day! We had a beautiful day of 78! I spent a lot of time outside today, but didn't get to drive my car, coz I don't really like to be out in the direct sun! Mom swears that I can smell when rain is coming, coz when it got real cloudy & looked like it would rain, I started freaking out & wouldn't let her take me off the porch! I ran up her arm & scrambled onto her back & told her NOOOOO, I hold on to mom's shirt, pant, & gently flap my wings, while on her back...mom calls it my rain dance I wouldn't get off her back & onto her hand until she went back inside! Mom calls Mom told me it was not raining, but I wasn't taking her word about it! I DO NOT like OUTSIDE shower baths!
I hope u had a great day sweetie!
CONGRATS TO SCREECH FOR ACHIEVING 10K!
Love & a vote

Hiya Picabo!
Thank you and hope you mom had a nice mother's Day too.
Mom's boo boo was still hurting so she couldn't get on the puter and the phone thingy was just too hard for her.
Now her other shoulder is getting sore. Mom is just gettin old, she seems to be falling apart the poor thing. :(
Here's a vote for you and good luck with the games!
Hugs,
The PooksterCome visit me, Angel Sally says my new Rescue Hatch Day 2/23 & Pookie says check out my new sun cage :).

Hi Picabo
How are u sweetie? Mom must REALLY be guilt-ridden! She's still falling all over herself to take care of my every desire! She held me & played with me until she had to leave for her Drs appt, then got me out of my cage as soon as she returned! Tho, mom was very weepy when she got back. The vet's office had called her, her precious Chloe's ashes were back, mom stopped there to pick her up. Chloe's urn is a beautiful decorator jar. Now mom has her precious Chloe back home forever!
I knew exactly how I would cheer my mom up! First, I gave her some big beakie kisses, told her LOVE U, then proceeded to tell her all about my game! MOM, WE WON OUR 1ST GAME! IT WAS REALLY CLOSE THO! THE GREYS PLAYED THEIR HEARTS OUT, & THEY ARE GOOD FRIENDS, SO AS HAPPY AS I WAS FOR US, I WAS SAD FOR THEM! Mom smiled & gave me a cuddle & some kisses, & said she was very proud of me! Not for winning, but for being a good sport & thinking of my friends' feelings!
The school across the street was having their annual carnival, so mom took me over so I could gawk at all the kids & say HI! I was a regular birdie ambassador! I was on my best behavior! I kept saying HI, did my tricks, let a bunch of kids pet me & gave out a couple kisses to a couple brave souls, but mostly to mom! Mom bought a couple pieces of pizza, so I lost interest in the crowd of people & focused on the food! Mom stuck me on her shoulder so she could carry our pizza, coz mom needs her cane to walk! I was sooooo focused on the food that I was begging on the way back to our house! I'm not sure about u little guys, but when we macaws beg, we drop our heads, flatten our bodies & "gently" flap our wings! The entire walk back, I kept saying MMMMMM in her ear, & each flap I bopped her on the same ear! When we got back into our house, she couldn't hear out of her left ear for a little while! Hehehe, but I had a great time! YES, it's another great day to be me! & yes, the pizza was delicious!
I hope u had a great day too!
Love & a vote

Hi Picabo,
here i am again at long last! Mum just posted new pics.
She made a cute new doggie, a blue headed pionus, a hyacinth macaw, a golden conure, even an octopus & an Indian ring neck. She's also made a new female ekkie & believe it or not, a pink pig with some piglets & a baby seal, but no pictures of them yet. That would be lovely to get a cockatoo pal for Christmas.
Our nice warm weather has finally come to an end. It is down right cold now, with a very stiff breeze blowing, but the water is still surprisingly warm (she just had a swim) but she says when you come out, you better hurry into the hot shower. Hope you'll have a nice w/e.
V4u & a big hug,Jivu ♥Come visit me, Jivu says, it's time for a cup of tea......

DAY 16 ~ THANKS FOR THE VOTE!
DANIA’S LIFE part 8
Before I ever got Luigi and Angel as my pets, I used to beg every single day for a pet. Ever since I was 4, I would wine and cry for a pet. The answer I got was a no, as always. Growing up, whenever I found out one of my classmates has a pet, I would go to my parents and use it as an excuse to get a pet. Then when I was around 13, I got very jealous when I found out my uncle got a hamster for his son and daughter and my neighbor friend got a canary. Well that made my beg and cry like crazy. So after begging for 9 years, my mom got fed up of me never giving up on this topic. So she discussed with dad and she asked me, what pet do you want? Well my options were short; I wasn’t allowed to get a dog, for obvious reasons in my religion. A cat will make my parents sneeze. A reptile was out of the question, and then I remembered how I loved playing with my grandma’s budgie. I decided I wanted to get a bird. Ok, the type of pet was decided, now the type of species was the argument. I told my parents I wanted a how bird that can talk and I could cuddle with. I asked to get a big bird, then no was the answer. First of all, theres no room in my house, second, I can’t put the bird outside since it’s freezing in Canada. So my parents told me you can get a big bird in Lebanon where it’s nice and warm. Ok, so the bird was going to be smaller, but I didn’t care because I wanted a pet really badly because I wanted to hold it and play with it. So when we went to montreal one time, there was a pet store in one of the big shopping malls. I went to see it and there was a whole bunch of small and medium birds. I saw canaries up high up on the cages. And fischers lovebird, cockatiels, it was a wonderland. At first I wanted the cockatiels, but mom thought they were noisy since they were screaming when I approached them. Then I saw the doves and I thought they were lovebirds. I told my mom I wanted the doves, she said no because they are harder to take care of. My mom pointed to the real lovebirds, they were so small, but then I thought about it. Then mom told me will buy the birds next time we come. To be continued….Come visit me, DJ LUIGI-Vote for me BOTM!!!!!!! & Calypso- THANKS FOR BOTD! Happy Mother's day!.

Hi Picabo & family
How are u sweetie? Actually, it wasn't too bad being stuck in my cage, still covered & in the dark til 2:30 yesterday. Before bedtime Tuesday night, mom hung in my cage, the last one of Uncle Chuck's world-famous toys! The one that had my name spelled out...TIAMARIA! Mom is going to post a pic of what's left of my toy in my gallery! I worked it over good! So at least I had something fun to do during my unscheduled confinement period! Thanks again sweet Uncle Chuck, my toys were awesome & I thoroughly enjoyed them!
I am thoroughly enjoying mom's guilt trip! She can't do enough for me today! She's waiting on me beak & foot...even more than usual & doing & playing everything that I want to do! She even said I was having sketties & mandarin oranges for dinner! The few hours of solitary confinement was definitely worth it...considering the VIP treatment I'm receiving today! Plus, SHE hasn't left MY side all day! It was an EXCELLENT day to be me! Can't wait til the NEXT time mom screws up! Hehehe!
We've been having lovely weather here...84 yesterday, 80 today, mid 70s-80 for the next week! 40% chance of thunder BOOMS Wednesday, & 50% Thursday!
Hope u had a great day sweetie!
Love & a vote

Hey Picabo
Thanks, Bud, for the compliment on the game t'day. It was my first and I wasn't real sure how it'd go. Truth be told, I messed up! I forgot t'tell what happened in the bottom of the 4th inning!! I happen t'see Giz's beak ask Sugar if she caught the bottom of the fourth and that's when I realized I'd forgotten to include it in the broadcast. Oopps! Luckily it was so uneventful a second half of an inning, it almost didn't matter that it wasn't there. Har har! Peatree though, she probably would've appreciated knowin' she was the only CJC t'make it on base.
Thanks again for your comment. Appreciate your vote of confidence.
How's things in your stretch of the world? Hot?? It's in the low 80s here, sunny, breezy, downright perfect parrot weather if you ask me. Go ahead, ask me! Nah, just kiddin'. You don't wanna hear me talkin' anymore, not after having just endured a half hour of me on a loud speaker system! I got a question for ya though, if ya wouldn't mind answering it honestly. Was the game posted too slow? Too fast? I wasn't sure on how to space the innings out... Please share your thoughts.
Have a good one.

Hey Picabo
Go give us a donation
Traffic was backed up for miles, the police were going car to car. When they got to my car I asked the officer what was going on.
He said "It's Al Gore. He's up there threatening to set himself on fire! We are going car to car collecting donations."
"Donations!" I said, "How much you got so far?"
He said "about ten gallons."

DAY 15 ~ THANKS FOR THE VOTE!
DANIA’S LIFE part 7
When I was young, I used to visit my grandma every Friday. I would love visiting her and seeing my uncles. Usually during my visits, I used to play on the playstation 2 with my brother and my youngest uncle. In addition, I always played with my grandma’s budgie, it was american parakeet and it was blue. Since the bird didn’t have name, the only name I called it was the bird or birdie. I played with birdie every time we visited. Birdie wasn’t tame so I had many incidences were I would take out the birdie and it would start flying every where. Everyone laughed, and my dad usually had to catch the bird. But I found that birdie liked to play on my shoulder, so I had birdie on there. I used to think birdie was a boy, but it was actually a girl. My grandma liked it when I fooled around trying to get to play with birdie. She was happy that I was getting to know birdie. She loved the sound that birdie made everyday. Then my uncle to decided to place the cage on higher grounds since I always took birdie out and she would fly every where. Unfortunately, when I was 9, I came to visit my grandma and the cage wasn’t there, I asked “Where’s the bird?”. She told me, she saw birdie lie on the bottom of the cage, her time was up. My grandma was sad of her loss, it was hard for her. She missed the beautiful chirps in the morning, she really loved that bird. Birdie lived for more than 12 years. She was old and it surprised me about how active she was when I took her out. I was saddened too that birdie was gone. I missed her, and I was happy she had a family before she died. To be continued ……Come visit me, DJ LUIGI-Vote for me BOTM!!!!!!! & Calypso- THANKS FOR BOTD! Happy Mother's day!.

Hi Picabo
How are u sweetie? Mom is in the doghouse today because of a SERIOUS infraction! Mom had a sleepover at sissy's house last night, coz she watched her granddaughter coz sissy had to take mom's youngest grandson to Children's Hospital for an appt...poor little guy, he is 6 years old & has Celiac's Disease! Mom was going to bring Livi home with her to uncover me, but sis called & said she was almost home, to just wait then she would take Livi to preschool & mom could head home. WELLLL, she threw a fit coz she wanted her Grammy to take her to school! Of course mom caved & took her to school, but now mom didn't have time to run home to uncover me & make it back to sissy's to go & watch oldest grandson's 3rd grade program. WELLLLL, mom didn't get home til 2:30pm! Mom was upset & was afraid that I'd be very angry with her! As soon as she uncovered me, I said HI MOM, immediately gave her kisses, then looked her in the eye & called her a SILLY BIRD! I LOVE guilt trips! Parronts are such suckers when it comes to guilt trips! Hehehe! I will be firmly planted on mom's arm til I DECIDE I want to go to bed! I won't let her out of my sight tomorrow either...THEN maybe I'll let her off the hook! It's actually a lot of fun watching her type with one hand & me on the other, trying in eat the phone as she's typing! Hehehe...I LOVE paybacks!
It is VERY humid during spring & summer here in PA! The higher the temps, the more severe & violent the thunderstorms! When I first came to live with mom 16 yrs ago, I was frightened & apprehensive of many things...especially thunder! If there was loud thunder during the night, I would scream, fall out of my bed (I sleep in a large
acrylic ring) & flap around wildly, often breaking feathers! Mom started making up games for things that I was afraid of! Since I was sooooo afraid of thunder, she would make wild arm gestures, laugh, squeal, & say BOOM! In no time at all, I began to look forward to things that had previously terrified me! So now when it thunders, I laugh, squeal & say BOOM...& the louder the thunder, the more fun I have!
Hope u had a great day sweetie!
Love & a vote

Hi Picabo
How are u sweetie? Thankfully, it's our last(?) day of cold temps! We had a high of 55 today, tomorrow will be 80! It's unbelievable that some of our westcoast friends have had record temps over 100 degrees, & we've had record temps of highs in the low 40s & freezing temps of 28-30 at night forcing mom to get her winter coat out again! For the next week our highs will be in the high 70s-80! I'll definitely get to go out & drive my car in the mornings or early evenings! Tho the weather guessers are calling for thunder booms almost every day! That's what I call thunder...BOOM! Every time it thunders, I say BOOM, & I ohhhhhhh & awwwe at the pretty lightning! I love watching God's weather shows! Tho I LOVE a nice lonnnnng shower, I freak out if I'm outside & get rained on! Showers are only fun INSIDE! I hope u had a great day, & I'll see u tomorrow!

Hi Picabo!
I am pleased to report that I haven't bitten momma in over a week! We have been trying to work on my stepping up, but I'm still not great. I REFUSE to step off or out of my cage. I will only step up when I am away from my cage. Grandpa bought the Bird Tricks training DVDs, so mommy is using those to help. I really like going outside, I will step up really nicely out there.
I really like being scritched. If mom or grandma stop, I shake my chain to ask them to come back. But I am not allowing mommy to scritch me at the moment, because her nails are a very scary red and yellow color. She promised to take the color off for me today.

DAY 13 ~ THANKS FOR THE VOTE!
DANIA’S LIFE part 5
When I was around 3 years old, my dad decided to go visit his family, his sisters in Lebanon. So he took me and my grandma but my mother and brother stayed behind because dad couldn’t afford more flight tickets. He wanted his sisters to meet me since I was the oldest child, and his sisters were very excited to see me, my dad and their mother; my grandma. In addition, the oldest sister out of the two, had 2 daughters, both older than me, one was 4 and the other was 7. The other sister, wasn’t married but was a hardworking teacher at a school. And so, we boarded the plane to Lebanon, and I fell asleep on the way there. When we got there, we rented a room in the same apartment as my aunts and cousins. I had fun going out with my cousins and aunts, and it was the first time meeting them. One time when we were going up the elevator to our rooms, I wanted to get chips which were in our apartment at the ground level. So when my aunts and cousins got out, I stayed in the elevator without them knowing. I pushed a random button, and the elevator went down. Then the doors opened and right in front of me was the place where they were selling chips. I got out and grabbed a bag, the casher looked at me and wondered where my family was. Out of nowhere, my dad popped right behind me and grabbed my hand and bought the chips. We headed up the elevator to our rooms. Turns out, my aunts and cousins went to our room to see dad and my dad asked: “Where’s Dania?” My aunts realized I wasn’t with them and my dad panicked. They explained that the last time they saw me was on the elevator with them. My dad rushed to the elevator to search for me, he headed for the ground level. After our vacation in Lebanon, my dad and my grandma were happy to be reunited with their family. To be continued…..Come visit me, DJ LUIGI-Vote for me BOTM!!!!!!! & Calypso- THANKS FOR BOTD!

Hi Picabo
How are u sweetie? I want to wish a belated Happy Mother's Day to ur sweet mom...that also goes for all the dads that are both mom & dad to their precious kids...be they human, furry, feathery, scaly! I hope everyone/everybirdie had a great day! Mom had such a nice time at sissy's house & spent the whole day with her 3 grandkids, tho I wasn't too happy she didn't get home til 8pm, which is my bedtime! WELLLLL, I demanded MY time with mom, so I refused to get off of her & wouldn't let her put me to bed until 10:30pm! Mom was just too tired after that to get my blogging done, only managed to get out my BOTD, BOTM & 10K blogs/votes! I fixed mom today tho! I only let her out of the house a couple times to take Sadie the wiener dog out, even then I was waiting for her at the door! The entire day I followed her everywhere she went, & made her hold me most of the day, & I sure gave mom lots & lots of kisses! I think she could use some beak stick!
The Milonga was sooooo much fun! I commend Chyna & EVERYBIRDIE ELSE that made the Derby & the Milonga such a huge success! Congrats to the Derby winners & all participants & the hat contest winners & participants! We all have wonderful homes & parronts, so each & everyone of us are winners! & a very big & sincere congrats to Kiddo & Sweetpepper on their 4th wedding anniversary! I was sooooo surprised & honored that my darling Casey & I won 2nd place in the couples hat contest! It even made my mom break out in a big smile! Thank u so much my dear friends for ur votes & congrats! A very big thank u to sweet momma Deb, who is the wonderful person who makes all of our wonderful pics...she even posts them to my page for me!

Hi Picabo,
Thanks for stopping by. It's your Friend and Pitcher, Oz. Hoping to get to the big game tomorrow as long as my Mommy doesn't go out again LOL. That's how I missed the Derby Milonga.

Okay, here's a vote for you cutie and hoping to see you tomorrow. Bye now.
Love,
Oz

DAY 11 ~ THANKS FOR THE VOTE!
DANIA’S LIFE part 3
In the beginning, I had friends at school who were mostly guys, I really wasn’t the type who played with girls since I had more of an interest of imagining and playing pretend. Eventually in grade 2, most of the guy friends I had left me because of new student who came to our school. He was more of an immature boy, and the guys liked him, and that boy was a bully too. He was in my class, always rude and making others laugh because of his immaturity to get the teacher mad. Unfortunately, I was always discouraged to participate in class activities. He always wanted to start problems with me when I participated. When I went to make friends with the girls, they told me, why don’t you go play with your other boy friends? Well I couldn’t, plus I felt they didn’t like me either. I grew up and more independent and finally after grade 6, the teachers decide to separate me and that boy and put us in separate classes for grade 7. Since new kids were coming from other schools for grade 7, I thought I had an opportunity to make new friends. But sadly, even though I hung out with them, they started disliking me because rumors were being spread about me. Well I still walked around that soccer field but I didn’t let these things bring me down, I had to focus and continue on. My mother who always was mad and sad for when I was discouraged and had no friends and same with my father and grandma, they told me that they always talked to the principle everyday to resolve these problems while I was in school. I never knew that to be honest, and I was glad they put their efforts into dealing with the teachers. In my last year of grade 8 at the end of our school year, those boys who left me, came and told me they regretted what they did and that they wish they hadn’t been so mean to me. I was so touched and happy and they told me that they were going to miss me. We hug and had our moments of crying. When highschool came, mother prayed to god that I would make new friends, and I did, hamdilah. I was so happy and they were true friends. I loved them so much and we cared for each other. These were the best friends I had and thanks to them, I had the best birthday ever this year. To be continued…….Come visit me, DJ LUIGI-Vote for me BOTM!!!!!!! & Calypso- THANKS FOR BOTD! Happy Mother's day!.

DAY 10 ~ THANKS FOR THE VOTE!
DANIA’S LIFE part 2
After I was born, me and my parents stayed at our apartment for 4 months. My parents finally bought a home in a new neighbourhood that was under construction. Furthermore, me, my parents, my grandparents who also lived in the apartment moved to our new home and a new neighbourhood. My aunt was already married and stayed at the apartment with her husband. So I was one of the first kids in the neighbourhood. The street was still dirt but then later on it was covered with cement. Moreover, we had the first tree planted in front of our house; it was a pine tree, around my age. At first that cute little tree that looked like a bush grew as I was growing too. My brother came along, a year younger than me, it was only the two of us. When I was 6, my brother’s new friends from kindergarden lived on the same street as us. It was a surprise and every single day we would beg our parents or even tell one another to call us so our parents would let us play outside. That is how we became childhood friends, and I even noticed by the time I was 9, I was taller than the average students and so was my tree! It grew taller than my house, it sure had a growth spurt! Sadly at school, I really didn’t have any true friends except the ones I always played with after school who lived on our street. It was the same thing everyday, walking around the soccer field at recess with nothing but my wild imagination.

Hi Picabo
Thanks for the Anniversary congrats from your flock. We had a great day.
Mom got home from the gym (after 3 hours! Geesh!) and it was too warm for me to go outside. Unfortunately it wasn't warm enough when she left in the morning. However she did share her lunch with me, and it was Indian stuff with kidney beans which I have decided I like after all.
Then we read for a while, but Mom knew she had to type up my blogs, so here I am dictating while she does what Dad refers to as Thunder Thumbs. She says he is just jealous because she actually types, and he does a hunt and peck. I don't know...I have never seen him do any pecking.

Hi Picabo and flock
Spotlight on Caring-Taz part 6
Hello from SKY. Welcome to part 6 of my interview with Taz and his Mom Gail Sky; Please tell us about Xena and the other birds that make up your flockily. Mom Gail; XENA was the love of my life. She was my soul mate and when she died a part of me died with her, she left a hole in my heart. Don't get me wrong, I love all of my babies very much. Xena was only 18 months old when she died; we got her from the same lady where we got Taz. This can be a very long story so I'll make it short. Xena broke one of her legs but it was just a hairline fracture so she had to live in her aquarium for four months while it healed. She did amazing while living there. We used to live in a townhouse with three levels at that time and we used to go to the bottom level to relax at night and watch TV. Some of the birdies used to live on the second level and some on the bottom level so the birdies that lived on the second level all came down stairs so we were all together. Burt used to pick up Xena's aquarium and bring it down so she could be with the rest of the flock. This hairline fracture healed and Xena was back in her cage and all was going well until she broke the other leg but this was worse and required surgery to put a pin in it, back in the aquarium she went for another four months. She was so good; never once in either instance did she cry from pain or ever try to bite me. I had to give her antibiotics so I used to pulverize the pill and add it to some cantaloupe juice and Xena would happily eat it all up...she loved cantaloupe. After the four months were up, she went back to the vet, he x-rayed her and decided the pin needed to come out as it was starting to cause issues with her walking. I was in the room with her during her recovery time and she never woke up from the surgery! The vet did everything he could to try and resuscitate her but nothing worked. I cried out in such pain and fell to the floor when she didn't come to. I was devastated and I mean devastated beyond belief. They gave Xena's body to me wrapped in a towel and I sat on the floor literary wailing until they came gave me a room to sit in. I sat there and cried and wailed until Burt came to pick me up, they called him as I couldn't drive myself home. It took me a couple of years before she could even think about her without breaking down. I couldn't sleep or eat and lost 40 pounds during the first few months; I told you she took a piece of my heart. Burt didn't know what to do or how to console me as I was inconsolable. Thank goodness that I had my husband and all my babies here to help me though it. I never thought in a million years that I could ever love a little bird so very much.
Sky; next week we shall conclude our interview with Taz and Mom Gail. I trust all have enjoyed this series as much as I have in preparing it.
with my heart filled with love

DAY 9 ~ THANKS FOR THE VOTE!
DANIA’S LIFE part 1
Today birdies we have a guest speaker! Please welcome momma Dania! She will be telling her thrilling and also sad story of her life! Hello everybirdie! After my father and mother got married, my mother went and lived with my father in his apartment. So a few months passed and mother became pregnant, she was happy and greatful at the same time excited to see the baby. She still was in university and was studying, and her colleagues wanted to feel her stomach but mother was always uncomfortable so she needed her space. Well her colleagues were excited and didn’t know what is it like to be pregnant or your wife being pregnant. Moreover, 5 months passed and it was finally the time to know the baby’s gender! Mother and father were very anxious to know since this was their first baby, and so the doctor examined mother and got the results. After all the waiting and excitement, the results showed the baby, was wonderful baby girl. So my parents returned home happy and eager for the day when the baby comes to the world. Furthermore, months passed and the baby was really kicking and bouncing, and on the day when the baby was born, my parents still didn’t know what to name her, they were going to name her Emma but grandma, father’s mother, said otherwise. She suggested a name, and to my parents that was a perfect and beautiful name. The baby, cuddled in mommy’s arms, now in a new and curious world, she was named; Dania.
