Does your Cat (or any pet) misbehave since caregiving your loved one?
Have you been required to take care of your loved one's pet after they have passed? Does your pet have cute antics that entertain your loved one?
And finally, has the cat or dog transferred their loyalty to your Mother?
Tweety is twirting again!
His owner probably went right out and bought another so the kids would not find the bird missing. Like they do with goldfish, you know, tell the kids, bury it in the backyard dilemma; or buy a new one before they find out, flush it down the toilet dilemma. Now, that sounds cynical, sorry. However, I am expecting the owner to make an effort, circulate flyers, make contacts online.
Yesterday, I tried playing music in different languages-bird related to spanish.
To teach it to talk, maybe play a phrase over and over on a loop because I get sooo very tired of repeating myself, Lol. "Where is hubby"; "Where is hubby?"
Thanks for asking about MY birdie! Ha ha ha.
Need to think upsomething good for Tweety to say.....
of course I didn’t want to take the time to find a shovel in the garage so I grabbed a plastic grocery bag and looked for a makeshift scooper in the house - there on the kitchen bar was the hoca newsletter -
See also Jake Thackray's song about the bantam cock.
There is a pressing obligation to have Tweety's owner take him home.
Bought a white tall cage today. He's in there tonight, placed up high. Going to let him out every day....until the irresponsible person finds his bird! Lol.
tweety’s owner has been found - it’s you ! 🐦
I expect he musical doors to end when the bird's owner is found. The cat has a new toy, an expensive gift, see "one fast cat" dot com. that calms it by exercising, a treadmill in a circle!
Lizzy,
Barely, but I remember that whistle. Trying...
Can you whistle? I think it’s called the “Cat Call Whistle”? The one the guys do as the girls are walking by? In the old movies. I’ve known parakeets that could mimic the whistle.
Is that Tweety in your avatar? If so he his beautiful!
This morning, Tweety sat on the rungs of the clothes dryer rack, looking outside.
It heard a crow, and tweeted. Should I be concerned?
In an effort to find it's owner, dH helped make a flyer. But to hand it out is a problem for me.
The tiny band is on it's leg, I cannot read it, and catching Tweety would scare him.
It was suggested to take him to the shelter.
All my organizing efforts have been put on hold, and if I die early, no one will know where to find the 29 cents left in my checking account, lol.
Sorry, but I'm still laughing trying to picture a parakeet having its way with a crow
Btw, if it *is* a ring-necked parakeet then for God's sake don't let it get away - your city's poor crows will be outpopulated before you can say "what on earth is that racket in the treetops?" See Richmond Park for their inglorious history as an invasive species.
You mentioned that the parakeet was banded. I am assuming this band is on its leg? I have never seen a banded parakeet. I am imagining how tiny this band must be. Is there any owner info on this band. If you have a Veterinarian that you use they might be helpful if the band is stamped but too tiny to read.
The place I posted the missing bird blew up while I was gone to get bird food.
Rude comments like:
"What the hell, why no response?"
"Any update on this bird?"
"Post a picture"
"It could be my Gambo"
"Oh yes, it sounds just like him"
Then, a huge crying emoji.
In what way is a parakeet just like a gambo? I cannot believe this. All of those posters were there for one hour only. Sheesh. We were out buying PARAKEET food, NOT GAMBO FOOD. I have been updating on and off all day. These people live in my city....and I am really scared now.
Can Tweety talk? Or could you teach it to say a few words? And how is the owner going to prove it's the owner IF they ever come or call?
I cannot answer that, how would I even tell. You know me, I would keep it as long as it needed me. Where is that owner anyway?
Strange though, in the heat, here comes the long absent squirrel for the food.
It may never come back now.
Since Tweety escaped it's cage, does it really need need a cage right away?
So nice to see you posting on the open forum. It has been awhile, people might have thought one of their favorite posters had left.
There is a new movie....anybody seen it?
Cannot take all the credit. Went to get my neighbor, animals are drawn to her, and asked her to just keep talking. She closed the door after the tweety bird and I went inside. Then, I was temporarily locked out of the house because the sliding glass door was locked.
Sheesh, that outing must have tired Tweety out. Fluffed all it's feathers, tucked it's head in backwards. When it took the trip to the front tree of my neighbor, then came back, it's head was dirty, one tail feather was slightly damaged, and a squirrel was approaching the food where the bird was sitting, so I screamed, get away! Not exactly a whisperer here.
Glad it survived but as the hot afternoon got later, I had to do something.
