“Good evening. Here is the news for Parrots. No parrots were involved in an accident on the M1 today when a lorry carrying high-octane fuel was in collison with a bollard. That’s a bollard and not a parrot. A spokesman for parrots said he was glad no parrots were involved. The Minister of Technology (photo of minister with parrot on his shoulder) today met the three Russian leaders (cut to photograph of Brezhnev, Podgorny and Kosygin all in a group and each with a parrot on his shoulder) to discuss a £4 million airliner deal...(cut back to narrator) None of them went in the cage, or swung on the little wooden trapeze or ate any of the nice millet seed yum, yum.”

This is good. I have to be careful what I let my little Pomeranian/Chihuahua watch. Absolutely no liberal programing (which means he is pretty much restricted to The History Channel). He already lives a life of entitlement: two meals a day, handouts off of our plates, the warmest spot on the bed, several cookies whenever he wants them, top-notch healthcare and long RV vacations, all while he lays on the couch all day waiting to be entertained. My dog is already the perfect liberal. LOL.

While The Stig is a smaller parrot, he is nonetheless awesome for his size.

Should The Stig become a bollard, I will immediately contact the person I know with lots of Parrot Knowledge.

In the meantime. I will ingraciate myself to all the feathered FR members.

The Stig LOVES millet!

Most of our dogs could care less if the TV is on or not. However, our miniature bull terrier became very excited while we were watching the Westminster Dog Show. I was forced to turn off the TV before she decided to jump into the screen.

My brother has a macaw. A beautiful guy with an impressive vocabulary.(including...”I'm not a chicken”!!)

When his job took him away longer than the bird was used to..he started leaving on the tv to old sitcom reruns for him. After a while he noticed the bird was muttering, punctuated by a “ha-ha-ha”.

My brother finally figured out he was imitating the dialog and laugh track! It was pretty funny.

I can believe it! I like the “I’m not a chicken” thing. What a hoot!
