Absofuckeblutly!
I had a great day apart from the parking episode. I hate the city, i hate having to find parking.

Today i went to a pet parrot picnic, got lots of pics of wickedly cool birds. Now im heading out swimming for a couple hours then a BBQ for dinner :)

busy busy!
 
Glad you had fun Wishes!! You dont' know how lucky you are to be able to go swimming this time of year!! **jealous!**
 
lol i swim all year around! its great!

The pet Parrot picnic is great fun - there are some fantastic birds.

You probably dont understand as much but we cannot import birds anymore due to restrictions so some of the birds here cost up to $20,000 each. To see them with wings uncut and them able to fly away but dont is amazing.
One of the cockatoos had a vocabulary of over 100 words apparently and would tell the owner exactly what it wanted and when it wanted. I heard it screeching as she walked past 'UP IN THE TREES! UP IN THE TREES!' so i hope she ended up getting it home :D

Heres a couple of pics attached :)

ed: of these pictures, only the ones thats bright orange with green wings (sun conure) are under $5000 in price

I have several parrots - nothin in the range of thousands of $ though, just a few hundy.

The bird wasnt biting his ear - just nibbling. Kinda like dogs lick, and cats purr, birds just nibble lightly. Doesnt hurt, its like a baby gumming your hand kinda thing.
People who dont understand birds often freak and yank their finger back, teaching the bird that a nip will make human do what they want, therefore turning a good bird bad :)

The grey and red/pink bird nibbling the ear is an African Grey - one of the smartest and most expensive parrots around. They have the mental age of about 4 or 5 year old child. They can do basic math, recognize colours, shapes etc as well :)

I see that the African grey has its beak fairly open. We sometimes go to a park where we hand feed wild corellas and ring necked parrots. The corella beaks look vicious and they do bite sometimes. IYet although it's hard enough to hurt it's not enough to stop us trying again with the other birds. I guess they have a lot of control over how they use their beaks.

That's amazing. It must be lovely to spend time with those things.

Another busy busy day - another hot day!
Looks like the grass is dieing here all over, that nice tinge of brown when you've had weeks and weeks worth of sunshine :/

Hopefully ill have time to get to the gym today, hopefully its not to hot and im not too tired :)
 
mmm i love easter hot cross buns. Skipped lunch today because i want hungry, bought and ate 4 hot cross buns though at about 3pmish.
Anyway, had steak for dinner but wasnt overly hungry. So just had to have 2 pieces of toast to make up the calories.
 
Heya Steve, Yep all is well
Though i could probably be doing a lot more exercise than i am :/
Things are just so hectic and busy :/

On a brighter note im now 198.4lb - lost another couple. I think its time to update the tickery thing and perhaps go for a morning jog.
