Boo!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! What better place to celebrate, than in So. Cal? Time to get ready for the little pumpkins to ring my doorbell. I never know how things will turn out. You see, I have parrots, and I really dont know what they will say or do...


Big Guy is saying Boo Y'All!


This little ball of green and red is the notorious Big Guy! He is a 6 inch tall little parrot, called a ruby throated conure. (They are also known as cutthroat conures, for all those pirates in the audience!)Yes, he does talk! Especially when you don't want him to! He ticks like a watch, makes kissing noises, and screams out his name when the wind blows and rain falls! He turns his head sideways and stares at us sometimes....when we watch cop shows or westerns, he makes a sharp sound like he is shooting bullets (he yells Chhoo! cha-choo, cha cha choo!). And he loves pizza! But it is my second bird who is the hoot. I have a big parrot, Ramana-- she is bashful about talking usually. The first year we had her, she had learning the moaning sound that was heard in the introduction of Mystery! on PBS! When the kids rang the bell for trick or treat, the bird made this horrible moaning sound. One parent came to our house, and told us to turn off the spooky tape that had upset his child. I told him we were not playing a tape , it was a parrot who decided it would be fun to make that noise. The man growled out "Oh yeah, like everyone who lives in Detroit owns parrots. Give me a break!" I told him to go around to the back of the house, and look in the window. He did, and Ramana promply let out a spooky moan. He came to front door and apologized. Ramana has never done that since, but she has been a star, entertaining the trick or treaters on occassion. I guess we'll see if she decides to entertain, or sleep tonite.


May there be good treats for wonderful friends, and no tricks.
Boo! And a happy Halloween. If any one gets dressed up for tonite, let me know what costume you wear.
