Debbieknd Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Guess who started the fire?? It was my parrot Cricket...a server macaw She always goes uder the Tv stand and we thought to sleep BUT, she had been nawing at the cord. When I was loving on her the other day I notice a wierd looking mark on her BEEK. It is a electric burn...MY GOD SHE IS STILL ALIVE.. She has been acting normal but we are taken her to the vet this weekend. She actually been acting pissed off cause we won't let her go back under the table She is the only one that runs around on the floor .. I would have never thought she, a bird could do this. WRONG..all my floor cords are being placed safely in P.C. pipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaxtersMom Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Oh My Goodness. She was a bad girl doing that. I'm glad you figured out what caused it and so glad to hear she is ok. Whew! That was a close call on both the fire and the the macaw. I heard they are quite curious and playful. I'd love to have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Man, Cricket is very lucky to be alive. Yes, parrots love to chew on cords if they get a chance. It is a huge safety hazard to them and the home as you found. I'll just bet Cricket is grumpy and pissed off. His beak, tongue and who knows what else probably hurts. It's good to hear a vet visit is scheduled. Looking forward to hearing an update on how cricket is. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 OMG, what a bad boy Cricket is but lucky indeed to be alive with only a burn mark on his beak, I shudder to think of what could have happened. You are wise to enclose all electrical cords especially since you have a bird that likes to go around exploring on the floor. Please let us know what the vet says about Cricket and his firestarting adventure:ohmy: but he is one blessed bird to be alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 WOW! You both are so lucky. Thank you for reminding us how easy it is for them to get into trouble when we think otherwise......:ohmy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 So happy that Cricket is fine and I bet you are so relieved to know what really caused your fire and that the fix is an easy and inexpensive one. Thanks for sharing this news with us. It is a reminder of how curious and sneaky our feathered friends can be.<br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2008/10/24 19:31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyric Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I'm glad to hear that you figured out what caused the fire and I'm SO glad that Cricket and the rest of your flock is alright. Cricket may be mad about the loss of some freedom but safety is the important issue here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
