A whole new meaning of spreading one's wings.

Thanks for posting that. I never imagined we would get to a point when parrots could be suspected terrorists !:lol:

Very cute article.

 

He hit the nail on the head. I flew twice in 08 because I had no other choice and needed the money from the work. I hadn't flown in 6 years prior. I will never fly again, period.

Love this post. The story is priceless. Thanks David.

Great post and a good tip on training your grey or other parrot to link positive results when lifting their wings, like the "Eagle" or "Tickle" game.

 

Thanks for sharing this article!

How mad is that? "Is the parrot loaded?"!

She won't do it by herself but Alfie will allow me to lift her wings to chck under them, although I don' do it often.

 

An excellent post though - thanks.

I'm thinking they're profiling the wrong demographic... by about a bazillion miles.
