KimKim Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 My 18 month old actully saw it first and yelled "Baba"! She thinks all parrots are named Babalu, not just greys If its still there next week I might have to bring it home. I felt bad for leaving it, but it is kind of scary looking around the beak area...
JeffNOK Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Lol..when I read your headline I thought "OMG they don't have parrots in thrift stores now do they?!?" Thank goodness it was just a tacky sculpture.
Brat Birds Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Its eyes are a bit on the wild side!! I think I would want it, but would then hide it when I got home! LOL
birdhouse Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Oh, no...!I must say, I admire your restraint. Hahaha The way these things go, you would get it home & Babalu would absolutely hate it. So hopefully, it will have found its forever home by the time you go back.
Mistyparrot Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 I would never have left it behind! I often see ornamental parrots in junk shops but they are always Macaws or other gaudy birds but never Greys. Steve n Misty
Timbersmom Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 If my husband had seen it, we would have definitely have brought it home. He specializes in "tacky!" It does have a strange charm though...
Greywings Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Angry eyes, but I would have brought it home as well.
Talon Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Cute in an odd sort of way.....I would have bought in hopes it would scare Nilah off of a forbidden spot!
danmcq Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Cute in an odd sort of way.....I would have bought in hopes it would scare Nilah off of a forbidden spot! LOL - Oh No, not the stink eyed Grey, Oh My!!
Timbersmom Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Cute in an odd sort of way.....I would have bought in hopes it would scare Nilah off of a forbidden spot! Nah, Nilah would be perching on it!
judygram Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 I never would have bought it for the angry looking eyes.
tbird Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 I would of purchase it only at a bargin. However, it looks neat and different.........
murfchck Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Oh yeah, i would have brought it home. I am always trying to find grey things. I love that stink eye he is giving. Maybe give my guys a run for their money!!
KimKim Posted July 20, 2013 Author Posted July 20, 2013 I would of purchase it only at a bargin. However, it looks neat and different......... It was $10, but Thursdays they have 20% off, so it would have been $8. Not a good enough deal for me to get past the funny beak/nose and eye area.
charlie boy Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 i love it and for $8 which is around £5 to me i would of snapped it up haha
