Fox, my 10 year old male quaker parrot, has become fascinated with my iPad.

The touch screen responds to his beak. Also to his feet and even his tongue :unsure:

This started a f was lying on my bed reading an article on something while he and Quak (14 year old female quaker) were sitting on my shoulders relaxing. All of a sudden, Fox walks up to the screen and starts messing with it, and it responds. He pulls back like he's surprised, then cautiously goes back to it. Before long he's having the time of his life while I'm watching my iPad go all over the place (he clicked some popup ads).

Now when I pull my iPad out, I have to be prepared to share.

Probably stuff like this...

Yeah, that's all I'd need :lol:

"Hey, whats this page doing in your browser?"

"I've never seen that before in my life! The bird must have pulled it up!"

"You're blaming a bird for a weird webpage in your browser?"

"Well..." :unsure:

For the record, Fox was already a mischievous little critter.

He likes to walk across my computer keyboard and peck at the keys while I'm typing.

He tries to pry the battery covers off my remote controls if I leave them where he can get to them.

I can't leave loose change lying around because he'll steal it and hide it in the bottom of his cage. Even caught him red handed trying to steal cash once or twice.

He's tried to steal other things too, including my glasses and my car keys.

And now the little snot wants to go on the Internet? No way :(

Problem solved.

Nah. I still love the little brat too much.

But just so you know, Fox absolutely loves the taste of chicken. Turkey too. He'll even eat scrambled eggs (kinda disturbing when you think about it).

I took a picture a while back of him holding a wing from Dominos in his claw and munching on it. Pic somehow got deleted though :(

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
