Self-indulgent pet thread

[Libertad]

Very sad, so sorry Sparrow.

 

[Manter]

Very sad- she looks gorgeous

 

[Firky]

I have no doubt you would have given her a very good and happy home in her all too short life, Agent Sparrow. Sorry for your loss.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

sorry to hear that

 

[Agent Sparrow]

Thanks everyone xx

I'm really sorry to hear about Buffy

 

[treefrog]

Yeah, she was only three. She wasn't a roamer either and we live on a quiet road, I thought I'd have her for years

Aw love, I'm so sorry

 

[CRI]

Agent, so sorry to hear your news. What adorable photos. Seems so unfair.

(someone's peeling an onion in here I think.)

RIP Buffy

Sorry AS, that's very very sad

...Does a picture of my Squirrel Friend go some way to alleviating the sad mood of this thread?

Seriously though, that is unbelievably awful about your cat. No disrespect intended.

 

[CRI]

Fab squirrel!

5t3lla did some gifs off a couple videos I did of Griff and Malcolm last night. Don't know why I don't do more videos!

 

[purenarcotic]

Squeee!

 

[starfish]

Much symp to Agent Sparrow. What a gorgeous cat. Awfully sad.

 

[Manter]

CRI I can't decide what I love more- the fluffy one (griff? Have I got the names the right way round?) standing looking stoned with his mouth open in the first one or when they wrestle the vegetables in the second one. They are gorgeous.

Cool squirrel too!

Sorry to hear about your beautiful cat Agent Sparrow x

 

[Mandalaa]

Fab squirrel!

Thank you. I have Graze boxes to thank for Squirrel Friend's increasing tameness and venturing into my room. I give him the all the duff bits that I should probably really just ask them to stop sending me.

2nd video ought to have growling dubbed in when they are having their tug-of-greenery

My friend asked if she could knit Pockle a hat.

 

[CRI]

Does Pockle like it?

Does Pockle like it?

Pockle has learned the game "throw it on the floor and squeal until I pick it up". I think that's a yes.

 

[treefrog]

She's watching The Life of Birds at the moment. And singing along.

Fast nomming! Cute!

 

[lizzieloo]

I approve of youtube clips on this thread

treefrog I think we might be needing some Pockle filum.

Inspired by the recent postings of videos rather than the more conventional still pictures - here is Rusty - this is my first video

Ohhh quaker parrots are just awesome - so intelligent! They don't half make some odd noises though, that metallic buzzing thing they do as their natural call is well weird.

Quakers are my second favorite type of parrot after Senegals.

It's the most bizarre noise! She's just wonderful though, and I love her parroty smell (and cheekiness, and smartness). No new video but have a photo of her watching Life of Birds

I think one of the things I love most about parrots (apart from their obvious intelligence and gregariousness and loyalty) is their smell - it's not something that you can even detect at a distance and they mostly seem to have no odour until your face is right up to them, but if you stick your nose into their feathers the faint smell they have that close up is very reminiscent (to me, at least!) of a dusty old book, it's a very 'old library' type of scent - very comforting smell to book-lovers and parrot-lovers Unless the bird has recently eaten fruit, in which case it tends to smell of fruit - as does the floor around them and any other surfaces that might have been within the mess radius My Sennie used to adore white grapes (and his eyes would go into 'excited parrot mode' whenever he saw me holding a bunch of grapes), he'd get grape juice everywhere and discard grape skins all over the floor - birds are bloody messy I'm still torn up about his death even years on, I miss him so much, talking about him has made me happy but also crying a bit over missing him, if that makes sense.
