They Don't Get It

1/25/2017

 
Picture
​The parronts just don’t get it. They don’t realize that when they’re stressed out, we stress out. We’re flock animals, so of course we’re concerned if something has them bothered or if they’re sick. Our well being depends on them!
 
It’s like Monday night. Mommy didn’t understand why I was screaming at her. It was because she came home worn out and tense. I could feel the tension in her shoulders through my little feet. What happened? Was the flock in danger, or did she just have a bad day? I wouldn’t hang out with her until she ate supper, changed clothes, and relaxed. I needed to know that she was alright and that there wasn’t any danger.
 
They tend to forget that birds haven’t been domesticated as long as cats and dogs. We’re still sensitive to the ones around us, and to the environment. We don’t want to get eaten, or struck by lightning, or blown off the perch by a gust of wind. I know; that’s silly. We have walls and ceilings and AC/Heat systems. It’s pretty nifty, but instinct is strong.
 
So is our caring. We want to know everybody’s alright. We really do love them and care. I now both parronts have had a busy, stressful week at work, but home is time to relax and enjoy the life that the jobs are supposed to support. Don’t get it out of order. Work is one part of a bigger life, and they should relax and enjoy it!
 
When they relax, we relax, because what’s good for us is good for them.  If only those silly humans got it.
 
That’s all today. Take care, and have a great rest of the week.
 
Luv,
 
Chloe
 
 

AC in January?

1/19/2017

 
Picture
Every year, we have a period of time when the weather is more like spring than winter: highs in the 70’s or 80’s and lows in the 40’s or 50’s. Last year, it happened during the month of December, giving rise to the saying “twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, the AC was on ‘cause we live in the south.”  This year, it’s happening in January. It’s been nearly 80 degrees most days this week! It was cooler today - only in the low 70's. We’re dipping ourselves in our water dishes to keep cool. 

Not that we should complain too much. We’re tropical birds, so this weather is quite agreeable. What will be disagreeable is that another pattern usually follows the warmth, and it usually involves an arctic blast and the parronts griping while they bundle up in coats, gloves, hoods, and hats. Give us a week or two, and the thermal underwear will be back.

That’s winter in the south. We can fit all four seasons in a week.  Two weeks ago, we had snow flurries. Now, mommy’s roses are growing right along with the camellia blooms. I wish we could bottle up this warm air and send it to some of you who are actually having winter.  I know you’d appreciate it!

That’s all today. Take care. Have a Happy Friday tomorrow and a wonderful weekend.

Luv,

Zack

Catch Me If You Can

1/16/2017

Hi all, sorry it's been a while since our last blog. Mommy got a sinus infection and between the illness and the cure, it's been a tough 10 days. In fact, we meant to blog last Thursday, but she got a terrible migraine, and couldn't pull it off. Thanksfully, she's finally off the antibiotic and on the road to recovery now. 

It's a good thing, too, because I've discovered new ways to break out of my cage. If the parronts don't close the latch on the locks, I've mastered slipping it off the door and sliding out of the cage. My favorite place to go? Zack! I'm sweet on him. In fact, mommy caught me giving him kisses through the cage bars on Saturday. That's when she started paying more attention to the "click" on the locks when she put me up. Darn it. Seems her ears aren't stopped up anymore. At least I had some time to figure it out while her sinuses had her senses impaired! Just call me Houdini!

Truthfully, I just like messing with them. I love my cage and in fact, am quite enjoying the toys I got for Christmas. But why be locked up if you don't have to, especially when you have a handy beak to bust loose. Catch me if you can, humans!

That's all today. Take care, and have a great week. 

Luv,

​Bubbles

Bah Humbug!

1/3/2017

First off, I'd like to thank all of my anipals for the birthday wishes on Saturday. I had a great birthday, and you definitely helped to make it that way. Thanks! You guys are the best!

It's bah humbug time now, because the parronts are going back to work. Daddy went back today, and mommy goes back tomorrow. Phooey! Not only do we have to get up before sunrise again, but they're gone a lot of the day. Sure, mommy comes home for lunch frequently since she works close by, but it's still not the same as having them both here all day, every day. Then after work, it's rush, rush, rush to get things done before we can sit down and have fun time: dinner, exercise, and any chores or errands for the day. Yes, we got spoiled. And it's not just the holidays, either. We like being around them, and they like being around us. 

Oh well, you have to return to reality sometime. And frankly, it probably will be good to be in a routine again. This "flexible" schedule they've had the past few weeks have left us cranky and sleepy from time to time. At least now, we'll know what's up, and when it's up. So maybe it's not all bad. 

That's all today. Happy New Year to you! Take care, and have a great week. 

Luv,

​Zack
