Five...birds...


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

When my wife and I first met, I had two parrots, she had one cat.

As of today, the count stands as follows.

Three cats...

Two turtles...

One bearded dragon...

...and five birds.

The birds in question are two quaker parrots, two parakeets and a lovebird.

All tolled, eleven pets, with near half of them being birds. The most birds I ever owned myself was two, so to say this is an adventure would be an understatement.

I was hoping to get more sleep as I faded into old age.

Right now, I'm sincerely doubting that's gonna happen.

Using chemicals like this around the house is as bad as the people who use Downey fabric softener. Laundry day these people smell so bad it would gag a maggot. If you have this ish in your life you completely lose your sense of smell.

Monsanto for the loss.

Monsanto FTW!

I had a girlfriend with a bird once...... once.

Until me and a bunch of friends decided to wrap the cage with a bath towel and shotgun a fattie into the cage, wait a couple, remove towel to find bird hanging upside down from the perch. Polly wanna puff? 

Bird was flambeed... and it was fine within an hour, before some of you go full PETA on me. And it was about 38 years ago...

I can tell ya this: smell isn't that big an issue (as long as our daughter cleans the turtle tank and the cat litter box, that is).

Noise, on the other hand...

What do your Parrots say that is Panthers related?

My previous male parrot named Fox (not named after the coach) used to stare at football games so hard it looked like he was breaking down film.

The new one, Jasper (supposed to be male) was with me in the living room this weekend when I turned on a college game. He perked up into a "hey, what's this" posture.

He might wind up being the only other member of my family that watches the game with me.

    • I don't disagree, but you're not giving our offense enough credit, and I'm not saying we would win the SB, just that we would be contenders, which we would have been. The Bengals had a horrible start to the season last year and it caused them to just miss the playoffs by one game, but had they made it, they absolutely would have been contenders in the AFC.  They had a bad defense, probably worse than ours will be this year, and you can't convince me that we don't have a better offensive roster than they had last year.   We have a Top 10 OL, two 1k rushers from last year, two 1st round WRs, one of the best slot WRs in the league, and then Coker.  Like I said, their Top 2 WRs are better than ours will be this year, but we take them in every other spot, OL, RBx2, and our 3rd/4th WRs.   If Burrow was able to turn that team into a contender last year, no reason he couldn't do the same with our roster this year.  And hell, I think our offensive roster is better than KC's last year too, and while I know their defense did a lot of the heavy lifting last year, if you give Mahomes an improved offensive roster around him, he's going to be THAT much better himself. A Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen would be able to win the South by outscoring teams.  And yes, come playoff time against an Eagles or Lions juggernaut, our defense probably costs us the game, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't at least be contenders. If Bryce can prove me wrong and his supporters here right, and be THAT guy for us this year, I genuinely think we can be a real playoff threat in 2026 once we add a few more pieces to the defense and then be a genuine SB contender in 2027 if the team keeps improving. We're the 2022 Detroit Lions right now.   Great offensive pieces, tons of holes on defense, but if things go right we'll just miss the playoffs (like they did) and then be right in the playoff hunt the next year (like they did) and then be contenders the following season (like they did when they were the #1 seed).
    • Hornets have had the worst luck of any professional sports franchise this century. Constantly drafting a slot below the generational talent, all because of the lottery done behind closed doors. It's been brutal and frankly unfair to be a diehard fan of this franchise, and I don't blame anyone for cutting out the stress.
    • We will see if there is any logic to those sort of packages. I haven't seen a ton of evidence that Evero operates that way.
