Monty Python – The Pet Shop & The Lumberjack Song

February 13th, 2009

Some of MJ’s favorite sayings. He’s a Congo African Grey parrot. He sings and dances to the Tarantella, asks for a shower, and gets excited when he gets a treat. I edited the non-talking parts out. I hope you enjoy it!

You've Heard Of A Homing Pigeon How About A Homing Parrot :o)

February 4th, 2009

Homing ParrotFrom smart phones to smart cars, it seems that everything is getting a little more brainy. While most pet owners simply install a microchip tracking device in their furry (or feathered) friends, a Japanese family thought it would be wise to teach their African grey parrot, Yosuke, to recite his name and address… and it paid off.

Police rescued the stranded Yosuke from a rooftop near Tokyo. He remained tight-beaked with the cops though and didn’t say a word. It was only when he was released to a vet that he revealed his true identity.

“I’m Mr. Yosuke Nakamura,” the bird told the vet. He then proceeded to reveal his home address. The vet looked into it and discovered there was a Nakamura at that address and reunited pet and owners.

Forget Snowman How About A Snow Parrot?

February 3rd, 2009

Well we’ve suffered the worst conditions we’ve had for years, the garden is covered in about a foot of snow, me and the kids decided to make the best of a bad situation (their school was closed), it didn’t snow that long ago when we managed to make a beautiful snowman (pictured):

Well today my brother sent me a text with a picture of a snowman HE built yesterday … actually it wasn’t a snowMAN at all … it was a snow bunny rabbit (I’ll add up the picture later on), my brother and his other half love rabbits so that got me thinking.

I got the kids all dressed up and nice and snug and warm, you can imagine that was like a military operation as there’s four of them aged between 16 months and nearly 12.

Out we went and guess what we were going to build … you guessed it a snow parrot, an african grey parrot to be exact would you believe!! Here’s how the effort turned out after much sculpting and remoulding and bits falling off (particularly that damn beak):
