Hi Polly
Sometimes the other birds give dad and my other brother Nick a hard time but not me I'm always nice and sweet ;)

I still don't like the perch but Lucy does. I seen here chewing at it now I'm watching her to see if she grows bumps like the perch or if that evil perch gets more bumps. I'm thinking about being nice to the cockatiels maybe they will let me stay with them they don't have any funny looking etches in there cage. The tube came out and brother slept most of the morning and part of afternoon . The nurse came in and did make Him cough a few times and then told him he needed to get up and walk. Boy brother was not happy they went down the hall and back . He was grumpy for a while. But right before mom came home another nurse came in said lets walk brother did not seem so grumpy mom said this nurse was younger ;) . They was making him cough every hour. He will be home Thursday afternoon. He is eating good so that's a plus to.when mom got home she and dad was talking and mom phone rang it was a friend she was yelling something into the phone at first mom thought she said someone's trying to get in my house mom said call the police. She said no they won't do nothing . Mom said what ? then she said there a Bat flying around in my house. Mom said oh started to laugh. So dad and mom got in the car with tennis rackets and drove over to her house to see if they could get it out. Time they got there they could not find the Bat. They looked for an hour could not find it. So mom' s friend said I'm not staying here I'm going to my daughters. Mom and dad came home . Mom was so tired she went to bed. Guess we had really some bad storms come through around 2:00 am and the sirens was going off police was driving around telling people to take cover. Bad part is mom and dad did not hear any of it they slept through it. Her friend said she tried to call but mom did not answer. Guess they spotted wall clouds were we live. Mom told dad thats was scary. My other brother said he called dad phone about 3 times to warn us but he could not leave he was at work. Mom said usually she hears stuff like that and she did not even hear our weather radio go off. So dad said mom is staying home this afternoon and NAPING he will stay at hospital with brother. . Mom going up later to see brother. Here a vote for you. BBF WADDLES

Hi Polly
The parront has not made it to Tampa yet. The person did not call her back yet. So she does not know yet if she finally will be going. She has been very busy lately. The computer is also giving her a hard time. She needs a new one.The weather is cloudy and it has rained lately. It is getting busy at the airport. She has the last test this Friday. She has to keep the proficiency in her job so they test yearly in different areas. This is all for know. No the parront does not have any relatives in Tampa.
See you next week if she finally does not go to Tampa

Hi Polly
Last night mom had some friends over for pizza, wings, and salad. It was a good dinner, and we got some crusts. No bones for us, though, because mom is always afraid we'd toss them to the dogs. Today is following what seems to be the trend this summer: one gorgeous day followed by rain. Yesterday it was beautiful out, but today it's very grey. Maybe mom will stay home and do laundry, after she goes out to buy wild bird food. It seems those wild birds are eating us out of house and home this year. I hope you are having a good day. The Pois are playing the Dragons today, hope to see you at the game. Hugs, Falco

Hi Polly !
Well, good news is it looks like g'pa will be home tomorrow ! The surgeon was really happy with his progress - of course that means today after dropping g'ma off at the hospital today, dad will have to get thier lawn mowed ! It looks like a jungle after all the rain ! Yesterday's was a short quick downpour, right as mom was leaving school and heading to her car ! ha ha ha

Polly, tell mom not to worry about game reminders ! She's been taking care of the post game stuff ! It's called division of labor and we seem to have it all worked out ! If aunt Karen wants to switch it up though - just let us know ! See you later ! love Cookie

Hi Polly--
The finches are ok, but noisy. They start yelling when the sun comes up, and since all three turned out to be boys, they're practicing their songs all day. I don't know why...it's not likely they'll be having girlfriends with the current ratio 5:2! The good part is that Mom lets me taste their food when she refills the food cups. She says I'm very helpful that way...y'know...making sure there's no poison or anything in there!

I still help out with the computer some. The Moms don't seem to appreciate it very much, tho. They especially don't like when I peck at their fingers when they try to type. Hey...I have to make sure there's nothing dangerous there....can't have anything but me nipping at their fingers! I like it best when they're using the mouse. Then I get to snuggle in their other hand. Or if I'm not tired, then I can watch the cursor roam around the page, or watch the graphics---Mom plays a lot of games!

Hope you're having a swell day. Stay cool.

Hi Polly & Zippy!
They did nothing special today, just some bowling and beach time. Mom sucked at bowling, but she did have lots of fun! Mom can't wait to show you the feather painting she's working on, but you have to wait until it's done. It's a blue and gold macaw painted across a bunch of b&g feathers. It looks great so far. (:

You Know You're a Bird Person When

You spend your last $5 on stuff for birdie bread even though payday is still four days away and the only thing left in the cabinet for you to eat is noodles and pop tarts.

GOLFING PARROT

A golfer took a vacation in Florida. He was a big bettor and always had at least $500 riding on each round. He asked at the pro shop if there was anyone around who liked a little competition, and the pro introduced him to a man named Joe.

"Is Joe a good golfer?" the man asked when Joe left to get his clubs.

"He doesn’t look that good but he always seems to win his matches," the pro replied.

The man met Joe on the first tee, and they agreed to play for $500. On the first tee, Joe hooked his drive into the water, and the vacationer won the hole. On the next hole, Joe topped his drive and then shanked his second shot into the trees. The man won that hole, too. On the next tee Joe took off his hat and scratched his head. When he did that, a big parrot flew up and lighted in a nearby tree. "Want to double the bet?" Joe asked.

"Sure," the vacationer said, already counting his winnings as he stepped up to the tee. On the top of his back swing, the parrot made a noise like a train whistle, and the vacationer wiffed the ball and lost the hole. On the next hole, which required a second shot over a pond, the vacationer selected his iron when the parrot said, "Five iron’s too much." The player changed to a six and hit it into the water. While the man was putting on one hole, the parrot said, "It breaks to the left," but the putt broke right. The man missed it to go three down. By the 18th hole, the vacationer was ten down to Joe and glaring at the bird.

"What do I need to do to get rid of that lousy parrot?" he said to nobody in particular.

"Just pay me $100 more than Joe does," the bird said.

Thanks for the vote!

Good Morning Miss Polly!
Hello! What a racket this morning! Mom's mate was up before the dawn revving up that noise maker he calls a motorcycle! Had the whole household up! Well, that's only Mom, me, & the three cats, BUT STILL!! Birds get up early as it is! This was a terrible time for anything alive to be awake!

Yesterday when Mom & her mate went out for breakfast, they went through the nearby town of Waxhaw. There are great big electric signs up saying that filming would be taking place in Waxhaw today & tomorrow!! "Expect Delays." It seems they are filming a movie!!! It wouldn't be the first time the little town of Waxhaw would be in films! I hope Hollywood doesn't discover how greyt it is here or the population will explode more than it already has! Ehh….it's hard to keep a good thing quiet for very long.

See ya later! Hugs for all, SamIAm

Hi Polly
V4U today. Well, we planted the sunflower seeds about 2 weeks ago, and so far we don't see any sprouts whatsoever. What we did see were some holes dug around where they were planted. Hopefully the chipmunks didn't think we planted a sunflower snack just for them? If they don't come up it's pretty easy to guess what happened. LOL :) Our cherry tomatoes are growing nicely, still no tomatoes on them yet. Have a good day. From, Mayo

Hi Polly
Happy Father's Day to all dads out there, human and bird alike!
Sorry we never got online to blog yesterday. We voted for Bellatrix and wished Happy Hatchdays, but didn't have time to blog. Mom attended a memorial service for her friend's aunt, who passed away in January. Her friend is the guy from Munich, who wanted to do this in June so all his aunt's friends could attend a luncheon. The service was short, but the luncheon was so long! Mom got home in time to change and hustle downtown to work with the Animal Rescue League selling cotton candy for the Pride event. They should have had the parade yesterday, though, because today it's raining again!
They gave mom a tee shirt to wear, it looks like a retro tie dye (Who remembers doing those, besides mom?). It has the ARL logo on front in rainbow colors, with a message on the back which says: Animals don't care who you love, and neither do we. Mom likes it, will probably wear it for more than work at the center.
It was fun, but mom didn't stay until 1 in the morning, she left to come home and feed the dogs. She gave us out of cage time, but not much, because it was so late. Today she gets to stay home and play with us, though! We're all happy about that. Hope you have sunshine today, since we don't. I also hope you get lots of attention today. Hugs, Falco

Hey Polly !
The good news is g'pa started complaining about the hospital food ! Mom had to run out and get him a roast beef sandwich for dinner last night - now he wants fresh fruit and a muffin for breakfast !

Meanwhile, I stayed home alone and worked on a Father's Day present for dad . . . confetti ! ! Be good to your dad today and wish him a Happy Father's Day :)

Hi Polly & Zippy!
Mom went to a petting zoo today! As you can imagine, she was quite thrilled, because she adores animals. There were goats, alpacas, pigs, sheep, donkeys, bunnies, a chicken, and mom's favorite, a deer. She was the only animal that was not in a pen, and she was really sweet. They got some feed for the animals, and she enjoyed feeding them. She didn't get many pictures though, because her hands were covered in slobber. :P Outside of the petting zoo, there were a bunch of beautiful horses. Mom just LOVES horses. She got to feed a big clydesdale an apple, and he got her hand so sticky! :P She, however, loved it! She was not happy when it was time to go to the beach, because her bathing suit was rubbing on her sun burn and it really hurt! Today they went to the beach at 7pm, so it wasn't very hot. THANKFULLY! The tide was coming in, and the water was all funny. Mom, Auntie Ellie, Grandma, and friends Laura and Jill went on a crab hunt! They found soooo many animals! They found 5 star fish, 2 slugs, and a bunch of clams and hermit crabs! Don't worry! She let them all go before they left. It was funner then yesterday.

Eat lots and lots of cucumbers! heres why:
just got a whole list of helpful benefits from eating cucumbers. cucumbers are fruits and they are full of vitamin A,B &C, which boost immunity and give you energy.. . it is known to sooth muscle and joint pain. all the vitamins and minerals in cucumber make it a powerful enemy of muscle and joint pain. cucumbers also have cancer fighting potential,supplies skin friendly minerals, aids in weight loss, stabilizes blood pressure, helps digestion, smoothes hair and nails making them shinier and stronger,keeps kidneys in shape, aids in diabetes because it has a hormone in it that aids the pancreas in producing insulin, reduces cholesterol, dissolves kidney stones. everyone is aware of how placing cucumber slices on the eyes reduces puffiness. it also reduces acid indigestion. if you are too busy to drink enough water, munch on a cool cucumber which will keep you hydrated

Looks like a "neglect the Cookie" day today - mom and dad will go get g'ma and take her to the hospital - they'll visit for a while and then run errands before going for another short visit and picking g'ma up. I guess I'll work on a Father's Day gift - some nice confetti maybe . . .

At least the sun finally came out to stay - at least till Monday afternoon (into Wednesday) sigh - but mom gets out on Thursday !

Hi Polly & Zippy!
Thanks for the vote! I forgot to tell you guys that mom hates the beach, so she is not having as much fun as the others. She said she finds no enjoyment in sitting in the 90-100 degree weather while getting sun burn. (Yeah, she got sun burn on her neck and shoulders today) Sadly, that is what the friends that are with us want to do the most. Poor mom! Hopefully they will get to do other stuff that mom will enjoy. XD Mom is also the odd woman out of the group. Grandpa is hanging out with the male friend, grandma is hanging out with the female friend, and Auntie Ellie is hanging out with their 4 year old daughter. Mom's friend is her Theodore Boone book. XD She did see something cool at the beach today. Someone was fishing and they caught a really tiny shark! He brought it up on land and she got to see it up close, there is a picture in the gallery for y'all to see!

Hi Polly
Well, Mom is hoping that the physical therapy the doc prescribed does the trick on her shoulder. She starts on Monday and goes twice a week for three weeks. Hopefully when she sees the doc again in four weeks he will say the rotator cuff is healing from the tear.
Meanwhile Mom didn't go to zumba either Wednesday or today. She did go to see her trainer today. It was "leg day", so she knew it would be all right. She also gave him the MRI CD to copy, since he is a Kinesiology major and knows how to read it. He will be doing work with her in addition to the PT facility. Mom has hopes that is all it will take.
Now I would like to comment on the Phoenix Base Flyers' (my team) loss today to the Tiel Terrors. Those Tiels are some mighty fine athletes, and their come from behind victory didn't surprise anybirdy more than me! I was sure we had the game locked, and I couldn't have been more wrong. They wanted it, deserved it, and got it. However I am also pretty bummed. Thank goodness I have so many friends on the Tiel team. Helps the hurt!

HI Polly,
today mum's put 2 new pics of me up. I just had my bath & was looking at myself in the mirror, after all one has to check if all the feathers are in order.
She also put some new pal pics up. At the moment she's into making a series of fantasy baby cockatoos, in all baby colors. They're meant for new parents to put them in their nurseries, she's already sold some.
Then there is a new fluffy rose breasted too,she made the octopi stand up & changed the nostrils of the pink pig from beige to black. Also two new little snow girl & boy.
It's finally getting a bit wintery here & mum had to give up her swimming due to colder water temps.
She had her last swim yesterday. Now she's starting to go on long walks in the park again & maybe feed the cockatoos again?
Hope you had a good time since i squawked to you last time.

I'm sure hoping the storms missed you ! It's still pouring here ! Soon I'll pull out my tool kit and start building an ark !

Mom is back to school today, while dad and his mom head to the hospital to hang out with g'pa - on and off at least - he's still in ICU but will hopefully be moved to a room later today. His surgeon is not only skillful, but a very kind man. When he came out to the waiting room after the surgery to let g'ma in for a couple minutes he actually helped mom carry her bookbag to the elevator !

Hi Polly
if your parronts ever buy honey tell them to be careful. just read an article that over 60% of honey sold in grocery stores is nothing more than corn syrup with food coloring added. real honey will start to crystalize after sitting out awhile and corn syrup wont. most buy honey for the health benefits it provides and they are not getting it with corn syrup..

...storm comes! It's growing darker & darker as we type!! And no, Miss Polly, it's not because the sun happens to be setting now!! Sam snorts! Hahaha! Yeah, Mom's been busy. Her daughter contacted her again & told her how to look up logs that show what was done when & where on her FaceBook. Then she explained how to go about securing her profile even more. Mom feels better about things, but she can't help be worried about that young lady from her daughter's past. I mean they're friendly to one another but Mom's worried she's married herself a hornets nest. She gave her info to her daughter so she could step in and see for herself. So, that takes time. Hope there won't be anymore "craziness" for Mom's sake. That bothers her. Why her? Ya know? Anyway, hope you're having a greyt Thursday. It's FridayEve!!! Heehee! Why don't you go see King Hulk? I'm going over there again after awhile (when this storm moves through) and there's going to be a great go-cart race! Not only a race, but dueling water balloons while one is driving!!

Well, Mom went to the Orthopedic doc this morning. He looked at the MRI CD and said there is a "High grade partial tear of the rotator cuff of the right shoulder". He is hopeful it will respond to physical therapy, and that surgery will not be needed. He didn't want to give my mom a cortisone shot though, since she had one in the left shoulder last December. It would be too much steroid in her system. Mom is OK with that, except she is stuck with Tylenol for the pain. She goes back to see him in 4 weeks after the PT is done. Hopefully no surgery then.
It isn't done though. She goes to see the GI doc this afternoon to schedule another endoscopy to look at her insides and see if the Barrett's Syndrome tissue is responding to the increased meds. Mom doesn't mind those so much. It is the colonoscopy she hates. So it is a real medical day.
I did get her time in between though, and we had a great time at the ball game. Congrats to the Crackerjack Conures (Popeye and her Grand Slam Home Run too!!), and you Major League Beaks? Good job against a very tough team. You'll win the next one for sure.

Hey Polly!!
Thanks for stoppin' by with the comment on the game-callin'. You're just the sweetest little Quaker, even if you are feelin' resentful about that, uh, target. And fyi, I removed the one mentioned earlier. Don't want my little green friend bent with me.

Yeah, today's game was a little nuts for the one-woman tech team here with me callin' the game and Coach Reba tryin' to keep her players spirits up and their faith in themselves goin' strong to the end, and then Kirby over there on that Crack-you-up Conure team. The rest of the McFlock got told they were gonna miss attending this game and that they'd have t'watch it on TV. Poor saps — they had t'endure commercials! No commercials when you're at the stadium, unless you count my promo for CORN DOGS.

Keep the fires burnin' you Quaker Dragon!

Hi Polly
I hope mom is actually enjoying those walks! What a game yesterday! The GGWs pulled off a stunning win at the last minute, it was another claw biter.
Today the CJCs are playing the Major League Beaks, it should be a good game. I am taking the prize inside boxes to the stadium early so the cheerleaders can pass them out.
Mom loved the group at the museum on Tuesday, they were robotics guys at a conference going on at Carnegie Mellon University, right up the street from the museum. They had great questions, were interested in the dinosaurs, and were generally fun. Mom thinks her inner nerd responds to these types of groups. The tours were a lot of fun. Last night, mom went to dinner with her friend from Munich and the friend he's staying with right now. They had a great time catching up, and she still got home to spend time with us! Hope you are having a great day, lots of sun and attention. Hugs, Falco

Well, Polly, Mom THINKS She Has It Fixed....
....She contacted her daughter via email & her daughter told her all that she needed to do. Here is what happened. She received a "notification" that a young lady, who went to high school with Mom's daughter & were cheerleaders together off an on because that lady is a couple of years younger than Mom's daughter, she wanted to accept Mom's "friend" invite. Mom never sent her one!!! The lady is a wonderful person, or used to be, but is now married to a fella that was a year older than Mom's daughter. This fella was part of a terrible bunch of guys. Oh, they feigned being all straight & narrow but they were anything BUT!! Now, we're NOT talking about normal teenage mischief. No sir!! But heavy stuff like breaking & entering, bomb making, etc. How they weren't thrown out of school is beyond Mom's comprehension. Well, that bunch is reportedly still basically socializing together. Some have moved on from this clique but others seemed anchored here locally. This nice young lamb being in the middle of these 'wolves' in sheep's clothing....well, most of them married the high school sweethearts. VERY jealous & petty females that hated about everyone they encountered. Mom's daughter being one of those as well as this young lady. Mom even received threats by these "girlfriends" of this group of deviants that one was going to have her boyfriend make a "surprise" for her mailbox!!! This was one who was arrested for making bombs. So, I don't think she was talking about a cake! Anyway, Mom told her daughter & it does sound like someone trying to get at that guy's wife. He married outside the clique & they somehow got into Mom's account & used it to contact this lady. Mom has quietly "unfriended" her & blocked her from contacting again. She also has reported the hack and changed her passwords & tightened her security on the site, which was pretty well done since it was her daughter who did it for her. I don't want Mom to get involved with ANY of them!! They're on a sinking ship & don't want to be anywhere around it when it finally goes all the way down. It is childish what has been done. Terrible & troubling for Mom. We hope we have no more interactions but will have to see what happens from here. That's what made a train wreck in my day! I hope it's fixed & there is NO MORE. See ya later, Miss Polly. Hugs, SamIAm

Hi Polly--
Oh, the power company butchers are attacking your trees...that's too bad. We have some really strange shaped trees around here courtesy of the power company too. Not right here at the house...our wires are underground, but in the neighborhood. Mom sometimes wonders what those guys have been smoking when she sees how they cut trees!

The Old Guy's dr said that when you're on blood thinners, something as simple as sleeping with your hand bent wrong could cause a rupture of a small blood vessel that would cause swelling. Of course, the Old Guy's hand wasn't discolored any differently than usual, just puffy like the Pillsbury doughboy. Anyhow, it is fine now, so we are just moving on waiting for the next weird occurrence. When you are 93 I guess you have to expect stuff to break down every now and then. He has never had allergies, but ya never know...if it happens again we'll be asking more questions!

Hope you're having a fine day....beautiful weather here....Hugs and kisses....
