murfchck Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 After getting all dressed up for a Christmas party last night, doing my hair, putting on a dress and making the hair just so, I went to say goodnight to my flock. I scared the crap out of them. Bongo went flying all around his cage, Gabby broke 2 tail feathers trying to get as far away from me as she could. Oliver went to the back of the cage and shook and the cockatoo's screamed their heads off. Cotay just watched me very closely. I tried giving them almonds and only Bubba and Ixta would take them. Pat had to go in there and settle everyone down and put them to bed. What I learned was I don't get out much. lol To scare my birds when I get dressed up is a sad thing. I told Pat he needs to take me out at least once a month, you know, for the birds sake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brat Birds Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I agree, the birds NEED you to go out at LEAST once a month!! LOL Let us know if it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Absolutely just as a conditioning exercise for their mental health (and yours). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezron Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Nice angle to talk him into a date once in awhile. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acappella Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Soooo funny. Dorian has a temper tantrum when he sees me putting on makeup or jewellery because he knows I'm going out, but it doesn't freak him out anymore. I agree a monthly primp followed by an out-of-the-house date is called for. What are the odds of that actually happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 DANG Pat! Take your girl out more often! Even the birds don't recognize her in dressup! Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muse Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 So I kind of had the opposite experience... I have always loved dressing up for Halloween. I love makeup and special effects. We went to great lengths to set up a graveyard in the front yard and "haunt" the garage, complete with fog machine and lots of animated "friends". (Last year, we got 0 trick-or-treaters here so this year, being busy with Marden's Ark, we just didn't bother). I have to say, no matter how much make up I wore and how scary I tried to look - and even the contacts, the birds were unaffected. Not one 'fright', not one squawk, not one growl. Here's what I looked like: 2011 (before the contacts) That fright wig is home grown. 2012 (with contacts and really lousy 'mask'/appliance) So if the birds recognizes me and are not bothered by this appearance, that must mean I look a fright when I am *not* in costume, lol.

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I would have been scared! LOL! Just a trusting bird knowing his owner has gone off the " deep end", once again! LOL Nancy P.S. I wonder what goes thru those greyt minds? Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
