SHOW AND TELL WEDNESDAY- DaVinci Talks

I know DaVinci looks like a mess because he likes to over groom and pluck his feathers, but he is a cutie and a sweet boy, and .... he talks.
Of course what he is saying is probably a lot clearer to me, but he is talking and saying a number of sentences. His favorite being "How does a cat go... Meow".
But every morning he comes out of the cage and I say "kiss kiss" and I give him a kiss on the beak. He reaches forward for his kiss, and I say thank you.
So here he is i the following video, saying over and over:
"Kiss kiss" then a "kiss" sound, and "thank you"
Another sentence I thought would be cute to teach him is "Momma is so pretty". (Well someone has to tell me. LOL) About half the way through he says "Momma is so pretty" He says it about 3 times.

He will only talk when there is noise in the background, so I had to keep the TV on.

SHOW AND TELL TUESDAY - The Gs

Giupetto says:
Sometimes you just have to show your best side:

How you doing?

I actually told him to stay so I could get the camera. I took some pics, and when I came back, more than 5 minutes later he was still in this position.
Well, I couldn''t leave our Gianna out, or DaVinci, so I added this picture I thought was funny.
Gianna likes to lie down right under the bird, DaVinci's, play gym, so she can be the first at any food he drops.
I think sometimes DaVinci tries to aim his food and toys so they fall right on top of her.


Hope you enjoyed these pics.

Short but cute

A cat died and went to Heaven. God met her at the gates and said, 'You have been a good cat all these years. Anything you want is yours for the asking.'

The cat thought for a minute and then said, 'All my life I lived on a farm and slept on hard wooden floors. I would like a real fluffy pillow to sleep on.'

God said, 'Say no more.' Instantly the cat had a huge fluffy pillow.

A few days later, six mice were killed in an accident and they all went to Heaven together. God met the mice at the gates with the same offer that He made to the cat.

The mice said, 'Well, we have had to run all of our lives: from cats, dogs, and even people with brooms! If we could just have some little roller skates, we would not have to run again.'

God answered, 'It is done.' All the mice had beautiful
little roller skates.

About a week later, God decided to check on the cat. He found her sound asleep on her fluffy pillow.. God gently awakened the cat and asked, 'Is everything okay? How have you been doing? Are you happy?'

The cat replied, 'Oh, it is WONDERFUL. I have never been so happy in my life.
The pillow is so fluffy, and those little Meals on Wheels you have been sending over are delicious!'

I also found this video, and the reason I was intrigued with it, is this is a Sinbad look-a-like (a Sun Conure) on the left and a DaVinci look-a-like (Moustache parrot) on the right.
((For those of you that do not know - Sinbad was a sun conure parrot I had that died last year at the age of 19. DaVinci is the bird I have now that I adopted a few months after Sinbad passed.)) This is not them, but just so wonderful for me to see this. To compare the 2, and the sizes are so similar, and to see them side by side like this.
