Inara Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 (just happened) -- You see a quarter-sized, fresh, wayward all white splotch on the wood floor and stop dead in your tracks, with a bit of a panicky feeling and thoughts of, "That looks bad, bad, bad, bad......oh, whew! It's *not* unhealthy droppings, it's Blue Cheese Dressing!!!" You're it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRSeedBurners Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 - you replace hanging chandeliers with flat mount light fixtures to improve flight paths - you rip out all the carpet in your house and replace with hardwood/tile so you can easily get the poop up - you remodel a bedroom complete with hangings boings/orbits/perches/ropes - you're food gets inspected and shared or tossed every.single.meal. - you pause multiple times before opening a door that leads outside - even if nothing is in the room - seeing a nice well-formed green poop with white substrates in liquid makes you happy I could go on and on...next - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray P Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 How about when you go shopping at the food store and another customer tells you that one of the seagulls hit you in the parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat Birds Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 ~You have a separate set of clothes just to be worn when they are out of cage. ~You carry little white floaty things around with you. ~You LOVE the little feathers that you can blow off your Tiel.

BaileysPapa Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 -you argue with your wife in the furniture store that you will not buy a leather recliner because there's nothing for the birds to grip when they land on it -you're not keeping the baking things her family gave you for Christmas because they're made of silicone even though the givers know how much you like to bake -the pantry that you keep the birds' foods and treats in is as big as the pantry that you have for your food, and more full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRSeedBurners Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 this happened tonight: - you hide around the corner and sneak a naughty snack on the floor hoping no one hears you eating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murfchck Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 All your base boards and door frames have the same unique design in them that were not there when you first installed them. But they are now starting to match your picture frames. You are always having to explain to people that you do not have moths in your closet eating holes in your shirts! You never wear jewlery anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acappella Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 You stop wearing nail polish because it freaks your bird out You have your builder put in a special garden door so that your bird's cage fits through it You're sleeping in the small bedroom because the bird has the master Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 You get ready to turn on a kitchen appliance and you proceed to warn of the impending loud noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Have to warn hubby when I plan on leaving the flocks line of sight so he can prepare for the surge in sound levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 How about...getting to work in scrubs... there is a code and you are doing CPR and aide is cleaning the bird poop off your shoulder! Even worse... they tell you " Sophie pooped on you this morning, I'll take care of it". Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdhouse Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) Your furniture is all covered in sheets, towels, etc. Your friends all know to ask before they recycle their newspapers or get rid of their sheets, towels, etc. Your dog(s) eat more fresh fruits & veggies than the average person. Your Xmas tree is only decorated w/edibles, shreddables & unbreakables. Breakable takes on a whole new meaning. Your friends wonder out loud about eating at your house when they find you baking branches in the oven.

Quirky Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 You learn about and purchase grains you never knew existed because you want to provide the best diet You learn that your weirdo dog likes lettuce You buy organic coconut oil to use on your dry hands because lotion is now off limits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 When you get home from work, the first thing you do is not say "hello, how was your day? to the hubby. The first thing you do is tell your bird how much you missed him and check the papers under the grate for poop presence, consistency, and form. The second thing you do is ask hubby how the bird ate today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inara Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 You subscribe to your local newspaper -- but not for the news. You shut the door to the TV room if you are going to watch *anything* that might have a lot of screaming (murder mysteries, horror movies, thrillers, etc) and/or swearing. You start sounding like a two-year-old with repeated bouts of saying, "No, mine!" You explain to your friends that you were not attacked by a porcupine nor did you wrestle a cactus, the week before a much needed talon trim.

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 SOOO happy to see, we " all suck as parrents" and have offered our " hearts and souls", for our birds. LOL! Through our sacrifices, we have developed " trust"... our birds love us unconditionally. I may sometimes doubt my ability to be the best parent, but when I hang with Sophie... she thinks I am AWESOME! I trust her judgement!

aerial.2000 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 You know you live with a parrot when ......... Your phone rings and the parrot is saying hello before you even pick it up.... Your kids complain that all you do is make food for the parrot :eek: You can be sitting at work and see a tiny little feather floating through the air and your parrot is at home lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acappella Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 You have to ask your cable company the amount of your last bill because the bird ate that section. (Again, NEVER happened to me, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one definitely hits home at our house. I've really had to work on making sure wifey gets her kiss and attention first before Greycie. Poor lil Toby is last in line.
