our parrot and a pomegranate...

I hope it wasn't a carpet!

 

Wow. Looks your parrot had quite a party! Sorry about the mess.
Worst pet mess I ever saw was in Bali Indonesia. A man's pet monkey got out it's exterior pen into the main house. I've never seen anything like it...every single drawer, cabinet, cupboard, jar, bottle, tube, etc. was opened up and the contents unceremoniously dumped out on the floor for further examination.
Sad as it was, I had a bit of a chuckle thinking about the monkey's revenge. Not sure how it ended up, but I wouldn't be surprised if the owner had fricasseed primate when he got home. :lol:

 

I have read that monkeys are extremely spiteful and vengeful creatures. Do something to anger a dog and he might bite. Do something to anger a cat and she might scratch. Do something to anger a monkey and it will utterly demolish your house. Not surprising, really, considering how closely related we are.

 

reading through your post daniel, i found it very amusing to think of the personalities we (as a culture) give animals. Dogs are almost always referred to as male (unless they're in heat), cats are almost always referred to as female, and then the monkeys... obviously a nice use of "it". I think it comes down to the idea that we (consciously or unconsciously) want to distance ourselves from our closest animal relatives.

one of the reasons why monkeys should not be kept as pets

Do something to anger a chimpanzee and you might get killed.

 

my sisters bird and the mess he makes stealing apples.

 

Well Galaxee, if we're posting series images of our pets, i can't be left out... These were all taken a few weeks ago at Thanksgiving... my dog, my mom's two, and my sister's dog were all present...


After a lovely Thanksgiving meal a nap is needed.

So comfortable.............

Oh, no! You have got to be kidding me!

Here he comes!

Now everyone but Mom is snoozing away.

Poor Bailey had to lie on the mat way out in the kitchen... all alone.


and the second series from the weekend...
Dillon: My kingdom. I rule supreme. Questions, anyone?

Madigan: I am thinking about challenging you on that.

Dillon: I have an ally, and he is ferocious.

Dillon: Plus we are amazingly cute together.

Madigan: I like it better down here anyway.

Meanwhile, poor Bailey lies on her mat at the foot of the stairs.
Watching the drama unfold...............

It was a carefully-considered choice to use the pronouns I did: "he" for dogs: dirty and smelly and loud; "she" for cats: beautiful, clean, and dignified; and "it" for monkeys: nasty creatures, lacking only the right kind of vocal cords to be fully human.

 

I would have said he for dogs, because they'll fall for any female with 4 legs, she for cats, because they're picky and elitist, and it for monkeys because they throw their own feces at you

And here I thought you were talking about having to remove stains the your parrot made on the seats in the Prius. :lol:

Very cute, though.

Is it just me or do these pictures look like something out of a parrot murder mystery?

 

The murderer is left handed.... it's elementary, my dear sparrow!

Heck, that's nothing a little photoshop can't fix. Though instead of a murder mystery, I thought it more a parrot splatter film.

 

And I thought juvenile humanoids were messy!

 

There's a theory out there circulating amongst single males, that women who own birds are weird.
