Good Monday morning and GFY to all! It's been a horrendous night with severe storms and flooding. Worse over Houston way. Hope Dom and James are alright. They had tornado warnings this morning and all the school districts are closed and they are telling everyone to stay home if at all possible. Many roads closed. I work only 7 minutes from my house and I'll be going in. Hope my shop isn't flooded.

If this storm doesn't let up pretty soon, I'm going to stay here until it does. No sense going out in this! Holy Hell! It's really getting it out there. I venture to say we've had at least 6-8" since midnight.

I'd want mine to have a very colorful language and I'd teach them sailor lingo. That way I can say I got them from a pirate :D:p:D

One thing you'll learn is that parrots decide what words they want to say, lol! And just because they don't say it doesn't mean they don't understand it. None of mine will say "bye bye." I don't have to wonder why; they don't like when I go bye bye. Rowdy says in this creaky, sad little voice, "Be right back?". Oobie whines like a dog. Merlin just looks sad, and Pete glares at me.

Merlin doesn't talk much. She prefers imitating sounds. But, she does everything I ask her to do, which amazes people.

Some parrots never talk, even if they are a species that is capable. Don't get a parrot for the hope it will talk. Choose the one that falls in love with you. They are finicky. They make instant decisions about who they like and don't like, and being nice to them won't necessarily win them over. Oobie absolutely does not like men or children. It's why I took her, since most households have one or both. They can also change allegiances. The person they loved as a baby may not be the person they love as an adult. Baby parrots see a chosen human as a parent. Adult parrots see a chosen person as their mate, and may try to kill everyone else in the household.

Cockatiels actually are cockatoos. They are just a smaller species in the Cockatoo genus.

I'm very sorry to hear :(

Also, please consider adoption. The homeless parrot epidemic is becoming a problem, and is exacerbated by their long lifespan. There are Amazons over 100 years old, and cockatoos in their 80s. Even a tiny budgie can live 15 years or more.

Badboy was his name...his favorite activity was eating dinner with my mini-dachshund Casey. Badboy would stand right at the dog bowl eating away with my dog eating at the same time...funny as heck.

Yeah, you're getting hit BAD down there. I'm 2 hours north of you.

It's funny. Looking at the radar, most of the activity is following I-10 and points north. Nothing but a solid band of red. You must be up Austin way or College Station area.

Near Ft Hood. We've gotten a lot of rain, but not as much as north of here or south. It's weird. But I'm glad!
