every self respecting pirate should own a parrot

Only if he gets-off on being shat upon

besides.. if you think that alarm was loud
you ain't heared nuthin' like the piercing
ear-schplittin'-louden-boomin' a parrot is
capable of producing!

Condos allow dogs cats and even fish..but no birds....only birds around here are in the block long park out back of the condo...wake me up at 5 am every morning...pleasant sounds...makes me glad to be alive

:DThere was a little old lady who was suffering from a degenerative eye condition that had left her nearly blind. She had three sons, and each wanted to prove that he loved her more than the others.

Son #1 bought her an expensive Mercedes, with a chauffeur included, thinking this would surely win her approval.

Son #2 bought her a 15-room mansion, thinking this would surely be the best that any of them could offer her.

Son #3 had to do something even better, so he decided to give her his most prized possession, a parrot that he had been training for 15 years to memorize the entire Bible. You could name any verse, and the parrot could quote it word for word. What a gift that would be!

Well, the old lady went to the first son and said, "Son, the car is beautiful. It has everything you could ever want on it, but I don't like to go out anymore, and the chauffeur is a nuisance, so please return the car."

Then she surprised her second son by saying, "Son, the house is just gorgeous, but it's much for me. I only live in one room, and it's too large to clean and take care of. I really don't need the house, but thank you anyway."

Finally, she went to Son #3 and said, "Son, I just want to thank you for your most thoughtful gift. That chicken was delicious."

Our condo allows only 2 pets - dogs have to be under 40 pounds and you have to pay a 50 buck registration fee per dog each year.

We do allow birds but they count as a pet. So you can have 1 dog and 1 bird. Fish are not counted as pets so you can have as many as you want.

However (foul) is not allowed - example would be NO Chickens

Funny...
...my sister rented an apartment wherein
she wasn't allowed any pets EXCEPT a Bird...
That's how we wound up with the Parrot.

Olde Proverb; "Be careful what you ask for..."

As for Pleasant Wake-Up-Calls:
Here we see "The Bushman's Alarm Clock"
The WORLD FAMOUS "OO-OO AH-AH" Bird

I can imagine what bible verses that bird went through while she prepared it

Dave

White wine and special spices ?

Psalm 23:5

WOW that was neat - that's the bird you hear in all the Tarzan movies !!

Didn't know Tarzan was in Australia !!
