Hi! My name is Poirot
I am a Congo African Grey from Y, CA.
 Mr. Fluffy to Kelly, Baby Boy, Penguin, Baby Pie or Penguin Pie (He made these ones up himself.)
I joined the channel, 11 ~ 23 ~ 06
 9 years old  M
 Congo African Grey
This list could go on for a very long time, but I've narrowed it down to:
Oatmeal, papaya, popcorn, cheese, egg, millet, carrot kiss, ( juice,) and any tasty fruit or fruit juice. I almost prefer drinking to eating.
Going on rides in the car and being taken on walks in my carrier.
 Sitting on the window sill watching people go by and calling them if they ignore me.
I love to sit in my cage for quiet time, when no one is around and have a wonderful rope perch/swing above my cage, when I'm out.
I'll sit quite happily on a knee when it's available.
I enjoy testing and retesting forbidden areas. You never know when you can gain more ground to call your own. Oh, why can't I have the phone?
 Cookie sheets (they are terrifying) and gift wrapping paper, or wrapped gifts. Even gift bags are, "so (s)cary." Otherwise that's about it.
I won't eat nuts or seeds except millet.
 She provides me with an environment that keeps me busy and tries to keep me well socialized, though I love telling visitors,
"Bye, bye," only a couple of minutes after they've stepped inside. I'll even say it to a stranger who is holding me. At least I don't tell them to be quiet anymore.
 Flying with anything light enough for me to carry, either in my foot or beak, letting it go in midair, or reaching my destination, triumphant that the object is still with me. Then it gets a good beating before being tossed to the floor.
When I bathe, I have two bowls, one inside the other. I surf on the inner bowl, by lifting it all the way up on it's edge, jumping onto it and splashing back down into the water.
I am determined to eat the phone..
 Grab each day by the beak and proceed without caution!.

Hi Poirot
I wish you lots of good health. Keeping you in my prayers. Let everybirdy know how you are doing.
Sorry I wasn’t on the BC on Monday. We had a very severe t-storm that lasted several hours. It cause some flooding, trees down, wires down, and no power in most of our county. Everything was back up and running this morning.
I was very, very scared and snuggled with mom the whole time, not making a sound. I don’t like rain and this was very bad. As soon as we could, we turned on CNN and saw the terrible destruction in Oklahoma. Keeping all those people in our prayers, so sad.
Hugs

Hi Poirot,
don't worry about being away, even if you can't make the next game. That is not a problem and I don't want you to think about it at all. You focus all of your energy into getting better. I sure hope that this vet is really good and figures things out for you.
I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers...

Hello My Sweet,
Are you packed and ready to go? Okay, you're packed but probably will never be ready to go. They would have to take me flapping and screaming if I knew it was for an extended stay. You though, you may be very willing to go if it means solving the mystery of your itchies and whatnot. I shall be worried about you until you're home again safely. I know you're going to be in good hands but they're not your Mama's hands which is where I like you best.
Safe travels, and know in your heart that my love for you is soaring out to you while you're far, far from home.

Hello Poirot~
Your avatar is just spectacular! I love your beautiful tail! You must be so very proud of your mama for doing such a wonderful job!!
I read at Kelly's that you are going to have to do a sleep over at the vet. I know that I would not like this so I would imagine that you are not going to like it either! I sleep with a cover but I believe that you do not. Perhaps they will give you one at the vets office so that you can have some privacy!
I hope you are all continuing to enjoy that aviary. It sounds absolutely beautiful and I'm so happy you have a place to enjoy nature!!
Take care of you! Please give my love to your mom, Pringle and Pepper! A big bunch of it for you too my friend!

Hello My Mr. Fluffy!
First, your avatar! Oh Poirot, it's just so beautiful! Such detail! Such character in your face and eye. It's you through and through.
I'm thrilled that you're still talking and playing and really enjoying your aviary time in a special way. Cheers my little Grey heart. I continue to be a fully-flighted twerp, amazingly enough. My latest thing is sitting in the bay window, right in the middle where the top window and the bottom one meet. Mom says there's no keeping the fact that parrots live here a secret with me plastered up against the glass for all passing eyes to see. The odd thing is I don't seem able to fly away. Guess I'm just reluctant to jump off and THEN fly up.
Hmmmm, an overnight stay at the doc's with the idea of solving this mystery of yours, huh? Let's not dwell on how 'cary that's going to be. And something tells me it won't be just one night but a bunch of them. Oh my, I already feel badly for both you AND your Mama whom I can hardly imagine without her Poirot nearby. But if this would turn up the answers we've long been seeking, then the separation would surely be worth it. Next Tuesday, it is? That's coming up faster than I think I want it to. Be brave, my gallant Grey. (I'll be repeating that to myself while you're away, trust me.)
Sharing a little love with my favorite guy~

My dear, sweet Poirot....
..we have missed you sooo much! how are you feeling? I hope that skin is healing. Mom is still having a time of it with Cookie. That "Soother" spray with the aloe seems to have made things worse on her back where she is plucking and making her skin bleed. So no more spray for her. I am still getting sprayed with that darn Dander Down to keep my dust to a minimum and not make dad sneeze so much.

Hi Poirot,
gosh, your mom is sure a grey't artist. I have seen some of it on facebook, she is amazing. I am so impressed with her ability to make such awesome avatars, I don't know how she does it. I am in awe and so is my mom...she says she is lucky to get anything that remotely looks like a bird...
That is grey't that you are more energetic lately and are you also eating more. I sure hope you are getting better and don't have to take your medicine any more...
Thanks for the hatchday wishes, it is actually my adoption day that is why Simon and I have the same hatchday. I came home first and then the following year Simon came home...
Well, bazebol is finally here and we have our first game on Friday against the big birds...the Major League Beaks.
We need to just relax and have some fun playing some bazebol, we have done the work so now it is time to let our muscles do the remembering...
Bazebol is supposed to be a fun game so lets have some fun on Friday...If we win that will be awesome but if we don't it is not the end of the world. The most important thing is to have fun and do your very best, that is all that I ask of you...
I have set up a bazebol page just for our team...it is page #257230. I will be posting information there from time to time so check in and let me know that you are out there and that you are still keeping in shape and practicing...

And now for a Hello Poirot note1
Hello Poirot!
How's things with you? Still babbling up a storm, flying here and there, excelling at being POIROT? You know that's my deepest wish. All is well here with this little Grey bird. There's not been any outdoor time now for nearly a week. Temps dipped back into the too chilly zone and when it was almost warm enough, there was too much wind. I'm think that maybe this will be the week where outside time is a daily thing. How I hope so. If I learn one more way to break the rules around here I'm probably going to lose my flight privileges. I now just fly straight into the closet, skipping the stop on the door all together. The other day I got shut in there, lights off and everything because mom didn't even hear me soar in. At least she knew right where to look when I was no where to be seen in the room.
I gave the parronts a good laugh last evening. I was camped out on the day-cage next to the desk, minding my own dander when all of a sudden I appeared on the ottoman beside dad's feet. I'd not flown, I'd slipped down and stealthily walked under the desk and hiked up the side of the furniture. He was a good sport and just stayed still, curious to see what I'd do. Believe it or not, I climbed up on his leg and sidestepped my way to his knee where I then proceeded to settle into a hunched and fluffed position. Neither parront was sure of my intentions so after a mere two minutes of this rare socialization, I was returned to the day cage. I've not clue what came over me and can't say whether I was just trying to intimate dad or actually just hang out with him.
Hoping your day is filled with gloriously greyt moments.

I hope you are feeling much better and still improving! It has been such a long process for you and I hope you know how much you are loved and how happy it makes me when I hear a bit of good news! I hope you are still eating and gaining more weight!! Do you have sunshine? I had sunshine for nearly two weeks now but the clouds are rolling back in today. I have enjoyed all the sun so I can not complain about the weather looking like it should look today!!
Enjoy your day and know that my prayers are always with you!

Okay, maybe the group's talking more about the millet that's been hung up in my honor but that's okay, I'll talk about this awesome day even if it's really only to myself here.
Thanks for the millet. That was kind and generous of you, my fellow millet fan.

I can't believe that today is Fancy's 5th birthday, I did not spend special time with her today because it is damp, cold, and windy outside. I did spend a few minutes with her after church. I also
spent time just watching Fancy and Trigger. There is plenty of hay to share, but Fancy was chasing Trigger away from the hay. He would pin his ears to look like he was about to make a deal of it, but he still just ran off.
I think my wrist are improving, but still not 100%. I am still having some weird feelings here and there. I will vote and blog much as I can.Frances, Lexington, NC.

Hi Poirot,
coach Chloe here, just wanted to check in with one of my star players to see how you are doing. I sure hope you are feeling somewhat better these days. I saw the medicine in your gallery and I know I would not want to take that stuff and I know I would be very squirmy and mom would have a really hard time getting anything in my mouth...lol
Have a super day and let me know how you are doing...I am asking as a friend not really a coach....

Hello Poirot!
How does this find my Grey~Guy feeling these days? Are jabber session becoming more of the norm again? How I hope so. That would definitely mean you were feeling much improved. It's looked like you've had some very nice weather for aviary time. I had a couple of good days for outdoor lounging but then it dropped back into the 50s and has been raining now for two days. I think pretty much the same is expected for today so it'l be another indoor entertainment day. I've taken to flying to the closet door when it's open and then sort of hanging upside down on from the trim at the top and chunking the wood of frame. Mom says the room is looking more tattered by the day because of all my beak work and she wants to know why I have to chew on THAT wood when there's a dozen wooden toys in and around my cage and perches that are untouched. Yesterday's words of choice were "Kennel Heather, Kennel!" The poor dog was probably wondering why she was being told to get in a crate all day long.
Wishing you another wonderful day of being Poirot!
Kisses and more kisses~

Hi Poirot
Please tell your mom that she outdid herself with the new avatar for the milonga page. It is amazing. That birdie sure looks like Chyna, our hostess (and queen) for the derby. I am sure your mom planned it that way. She is such a fine artist.
How are you feeling? Any better? I sure hope the injections are done with. How is your appetite, my friend? We worry about you down here. You are very important to us.
Well, Mom left for zumba as usual this morning, but when she got to the gym she found out her least favorite teacher (really awful) was subbing for her most favorite teacher. (kind of like if Dad tried to sub for my mom). So she along with most of the class turned around and left!
So did Mom come right home to spend time with me? Nooo! She went shopping at Wally World for new work out clothes. Now I ask you, does that sound right to you? At least she did take me out for a sunbath as soon as she got home (only a little earlier that she would have anyway), and then we shared butternut squash ravioli for lunch. So I guess I should forgive her; what do you think?

Here is a Fancy Monday night vote. It finally stopped raining and it was so lovely out before the sun went in. Have a blessed night. Frances, Lexington, NC.

Hello my dear Poirot
I'm hoping you've had another good day of being you, with some serious conversation with Toad and Spoon perhaps, and some flight and fancy footwork routines in there somewhere too. Are the shots still on hold for now? It'd be nice not having to endure the towel and the jab I'm sure.
I've been my usual pesky self all day, flying to wherever I feel the need to be. Mom counted my flights and I have five on one side and four on the other so I'm getting to that dream goal of being FULLY flighted. Now though I must pray that springtime weather and the time in the aviary doesn't cost me my privileges. I was out there today for a number of hours, listening to the sounds of the neighborhood tackling the rampantly-growing grass. The neighbor man who had the chickens has recently moved so no more rosters to listen too. The new family is in the process of moving in and I've not yet figured out if they have anything worth imitating. Their mower sounds sort of sick so maybe I'll make tool noises the next time I hear it out because to me it sounds like it needs to be repaired.
Sending you long-overdue kisses, including a special one for the red and puffy places on your handsome face~

Hi Poirot
I like your pic today, eggspecially since it shows you eating. That millet is tasty stuff, isn't it? And thank you for reminding my mom that she has some stashed away for me. The refurbished aviary sounds very nice. I would love one, but I don't see Dad building one for me anytime soon. Maybe if he retires.
Well, the voting in the Milonga Derby Hat Contest begins today. It appears there may be some mistakes in the numbering, but hopefully those will be straighted out by the end of the day. If you notice the pic you want to vote for has the same number as another one, please describe the one you want to vote for until they are fixed. So sorry for the confusion, but these things do get complicated. We do our best!
I have totally recuperated from my horrific experience at the groomers on Thursday, and I hopped in my carrier as usual for my sunbath today. The weather here continues balmy and bright. It actually looks like Mom may have to do some of those morning sunbaths in the days coming up. I like those because the nice lady with the polite doggies comes by then. She thinks I am verrrry handsome, so she obviously has eggcellent taste!

Hello Poirot~
Thank you so much for the congrats! Boy was I surprised! It's been a wonderful day and I am so blessed to have so many great friends! What more could a little green zon want???
Mom made pancakes for dinner so that was super special too. I just love pancakes! Now if I could just get her to go to Starbucks and nab me a crannberry orange scone the day would be perfect!hahahahahaha
I hope the day was a good one! I want you to know that you are always in my thoughts!

Hello My Sweet Poirot
Spring is definitely doing its thing here these days; the grass has been mowed once already and needs it in some places already again. The daffodils are still bobbing about (and miraculously surviving all the wind) and now buds are showing up on the trees. Like Pepper and yourself, I won't be able to perch in the lilac bush this year because of my flighted abilities. Imagine there will still be pictures taken of the blooms but I can tell you right now the photos won't be half as interesting as last years without a Grey bird in them. :)
I can well imagine you're quite happy to be skipping those injections. It saddens me to think that you're feeling leery of what your Mama might need to do with you. You and she have always been such pals but because of all this trauma, you're forced to have questions about her motives for being near you. How cute though that you're willing to give her the benefit of the doubt and go for the quality time if all appears calm and cool. That's my guy. It sounds to me like your analyzation skills of suspicious human behavior may need to be in high gear if you end up going to Dr. Speer's. While a live x-ray is better than a after-life one, I'm not so sure I could ever get comfortable an any perch while someone stared at my insides. I pray all your insides are okay and that the mystery is yet a simple thing that's just been missed all these times. It's not too much to wish for, is it?
Before I go I want to say
*** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***
Happy Birthday to your Mama
*** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***
I hope her birthday wish comes true.

Hi Poirot
Just letting you know that we have updated the Milonga page early for the May Derby. As much as we hate to see the beautiful hummingbird go, can your mom see if she has the super Avatar saved that she did last year for the Derby? It was terrific.
Also my friend, how goes the battle? I know the meds are a nuisance and very unpleasant, but the important thing is are they making you feel any better? How's the appetite?
