chimaysmommy Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I was just browsing the news online and came across the story on President Obama's new puppy and got to thinking...there's been cats and dogs as White House pets, but when are parrots going to get a chance at some presidential love? Ha ha! Just a thought I wanted to share<br><br>Post edited by: chimaysmommy, at: 2009/04/17 18:50
Char Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Probably not going to happen. Parrots are too smart to mix with politics.:laugh:
chimaysmommy Posted April 17, 2009 Author Posted April 17, 2009 Ha ha!!! True! Might be a security risk...lol
Supernova Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 There has been a parrot in the White House. He was called Tony Blair B) :whistle:
Talon Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 I LOVE it!!! What a great thread!!! I'd love to see the White House Staff running around cleaning bird poop off of everything. :lol: And Obama's papers all chewed!!:laugh: :laugh:
chimaysmommy Posted April 18, 2009 Author Posted April 18, 2009 LMAO!!! That would be so hilarious... Poopie running down the side of the resolute desk, "Squawk! Hail to the Chief!" Ha ha ha ha!!!
judygram Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 There can't be a parrot in the White House, they are too smart and would give away secrets, you know how they love to repeat things.:laugh:
Toni Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 There were some Presidents that had parrots in the White House James Madison, Ulysses Grant, William McKinley to name a few.Here is the link for you to see if more. http://www.clevelandseniors.com/family/petprez.htm
Luvparrots Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Toni, karma to you for finding this site of pets owned by presidents. Wow how interesting to know who owned parrots!!!!! Thanks!!!!
chimaysmommy Posted April 18, 2009 Author Posted April 18, 2009 Hey cool!!! I learned something today! Thanks Toni! Now we just need to get a GREY in the White House! Ha ha ha... Karma to you from me as well!
DavidH Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 One of us..... http://www.livevideo.com/video/E58A65B09B93410686C4739C38FEC557/the-obama-parrot.aspx
chimaysmommy Posted April 18, 2009 Author Posted April 18, 2009 Aw man! I really can't wait to get home from work so I can watch that video link. Ha ha! We're not permitted access to video/streaming media here
Mistyparrot Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Unfortunately if the president took in a parrot I fear the sheeple would just get them as fashion statements with disastrous results for parrot kind. Steve n Misty
DavidH Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Yes, Misty, on a serious note it would be horrible for parrots. Bird mills would flourish; wild parrots would be further threatened; parrot pets would be mistreated and abandoned, as the novelty wore off. If on the other hand, the president's family adopted a rescued bird or rehabbed a bird to be released in the wild, that would send the right message. Hmm, maybe I'll write a letter to Michelle. She's already off to a good environmental start with that garden.
SamsDad Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Great question! I agree about the security risk. Can you image our national secrets being sold for "peanuts" :ohmy: Besides, the last thing we need is a newly signed treaty with North Korea shreeded into teeny-weenie-itty bits! :silly: Tom
chimaysmommy Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 Ha ha ha!!!! Can you imagine how ridiculous the news bulletins would sound?? Ha ha!!
