[myakkagldwngr]

I'm going to get off here in a few minutes and then get back to working on a remodel drawing for a contractor. It won't pay much, but even the little things add up. I've got to bottle another batch of blackberry and hopefully the rose petal too.

Stuck at the weekend job that I quit 3 weeks ago. They have a policy where you can't use vacation before you quit. I'm pretty upset about it. Exhausted from my first week at the new job. This makes for 120 hour work period until I get a day off.

Should have gone on vacation then gave them your notice the first day you were on vacation . They would have got thier notice & you your vacation because they couldn't make you work while you're on vacation . Since vacation is for time you have aready worked not time you are going to work i don't see how they can do that to you .Plus if your on vacation they have someone to cover so whats the big deal ????

been a stressfull but ok weekend! friday we decided i had to do something dif with the bird of he had to go . Hes gettin mean...so i got him a spare cage and more (MORE???!!!??) toys and sticks to demolish to see if that made him happy... i set it up next to his old cage so he can hop back n forth...he seems to LOVE his new duplex LOL! the new smaller cage is his demolision cage i think...he just get in it and destroys all the wood i put in there... and then goes back to his big old cage n plays with the toys....hes been less screamy and not tried to bite the kid so im UBER happy!! its to soon to say but i hope it works i LOVE this guy!!! so im really happy he seems happier!!!

rainbow has still not popped. but she has slowed down on her eating cuz theres just no room for food LOL its all puppy! she miserable and waddling around like shes ready to get it over with.

we had dinner last night with family we haddnt seen in a long time! i haddnt seen them in over a year and hubs haddnt seen them since his grandmas funeral this past spring...it was really nice to see everyone for no reason but just to see them! sucks they live so far away but really great they were visiting DC and we could see them.

I love my in laws!! its rare to say that and i know im blessed !! i tell hubs ill never leave him cuz there is not way ill get good inlaws again LOL!

hubs is working on the back door today, we are hoping to save it and not have to fork out a ton for a new door! the builder installed it wrong and it hasnt been opening or closing ...so he broke into the dry wall to see the builder used NO SHIMS!!! it looks ike we may be able to take it out and re intall it so fingers crossed for us! we gotta get this done bf the pupps come LOL!

2 more days till i start work!!! im so nervous!

What kind of bird is it?
Is it a male or female?
How old is it?
Does it do anything with the items that it tears up?

I am guessing that it is probably just horny, and since there was no mention of another bird it is probably sexually frustrated. Most bird breeders will allow thier birds to nest even if they do not breed them at that time, it helps them calm down some.

Just something to think about.

Last day at the weekend job. Figured out the real reason they made me work this weekend. No staff. Everyone has been jumping ship this month and they need staff for the big company outing for the clients today.
Also found out that 11 staff members left the company in August alone.

Wine plans for tonight could be to press the Cabernet Sauvignon wine.

LOL !!
WE have 2 birds here
1 Africian Gray
1 Green Conyuer (sp)
So what kind do you have...
These brids re not "frustrated" lol !

 

[pwrose]

Thank goodness we no long have to deal with them. Although we want to get another Gray.
We took care of over 30 different breeding pairs (they were not ours), on a regular basis while the owners were out doing bird shows. If I remember correctly they had somewhere close to 100 birds at almost any given time.
The only ones we ever had were one gray male, one blue eyed conyuer, and a pair of love birds. Like I said to start with thank god they are gone. The kids do enough screaming, didn't need the gray especially copying them all the time. Now that the kids have grown up some it wouldn't be so bad thats why we are considering another gray.

Not all birds get that way some it just doesn't affect as bad, but if there was something that triggered it other than just that time of year then even yours could suddenly get that way.

curl your arm around 5 oz many times. it is more beneficial,

Neices B-Day at the sister in laws home. Took some wine, everyone enjoyed it. Trying to decide whether to head out on the bike for a little or pour a glass of wine. The latter definately stops any thought of the bike.


Decisions, Decisions.

we are assuming it is a HE due to the way he treats his toys when he...ummmm...is ...ummmmm...feeling amorous??!!!! LMAO!!! so he does get his grove on...just with toys!!!! trust me ...hes not THAT frustrated!!!! ROFLMAO!(He makes me blush when his little birdy eyes roll back in his head!)

he is 3 and almost a half, so outta his terrible twos, we picked him out when he was 2 weeks old and had no feathers! took him home as soon as he weaned ...probly about 9-10 weeks...

he is a quaker parrot , so only a small guy. he is my little lover!! he loves to give me kisses and cuddles.. sings to me, tells me he loves me, dances with me.......... but BITES the kid!!! he is an a$$ to hubby but hubby jus tputs him in his place...to do this we flip him on his back n rub his belly till he calms down.... its kinda funny! i just cant have him biting the girl!!! shes terrified of him and he LOVES to scare her!

he has been really good since i gave him stuff to tear up... he likes to shred the wood and leave it lieing on my floor so i have more to clean!!! he is loving life now. maybe he was just really bored with his normal shredables!! i always have ropes n wood for him... but its been mixed in with the rest of his stuff... now that ive got two cages 1 demo cage and 1 toy cage he seems better..maybe its OCD!!!! i need Parrot Prozac!!!! LOL

here is a pic of the Boss with his fav food...a fry!! ya i know its not GOOD for him....but i figure the best things in life arnt healthy and in moderation he will be fine! he is on pellet food so his normal diet is very good for him! a fry ever now n then keeps him happy (just like me!)
