danmcq Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 We'll let the Parrots answer: Eclectus: Change a lightbulb? Leave me alone, I'm busy foraging. On second thought, will I get a treat for it? African Grey: I'm way over qualified for that job and I'm busy inventing a new lighting source but I guess I could at least supervise the stupid Amazon in the next cage. Parrotlet: Who's scared of the dark? I'm not scared of anything. But to answer your question, just one if it's a parrotlet, I can do anything. Hey, who called me short stuff! DY Amazon: Let that arrogant African Grey over there do it if he's so darn smart! Quaker: Can I rearrange the furniture and the light fixtures first? Don't you people know anything about interior design? Caique: And why would I want to do that? Lightbulbs look like they would be much more fun to tumble with. Umbrella Cockatoo: Duh, it only takes one Umbie to change a lightbulb, don't you know we are mechanically inclined? We can do anything but you gotta watch me, come on now, watch me, watch me. Cockatiel: I'll do it but only if I can whistle while I work. Rose Breasted Cockatoo: Let that big brute macaw do it! I'll be so glad when the light's are back on and everyone can clearly see how pretty I am. Macaw: Darn, I don't know my own strength. Do you have another one?

Janfromboone Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 I'm still laughing. I think you captured each one perfectly!!! I loved the end with the Macaws response.
judygram Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 I wonder what the conure would have said, hmmm, thanks Dan for sharing that with us, made me laugh.
