You know you're a parront when ........ ?

[Honesty]

You go shopping for a pair of jeans and come home laden with new bird toys instead :th_hehe:

Or???

[Debra]

You get a few extra dollars and don't think twice about buying bird toys instead of paying the unpaid bills with it.

[kendrafitz]

You have tops with multiple beak holes. In fact, it doesn't even faze you enough to get upset about it. You just decide to wear tank tops at home to protect your wardrobe.

[Grey]

You spend $80-100 a month on great organic produce and none of it is for you

[Mare]

Haha, Kendra, I was about to say something along that line! :). My hubby went to a concert, with his brother, last night and wore one of his shirts that he didn't know had bird poop x 2, on the back! (He's funny that way, will hang up a shirt that he hadn't worn more than an hour). Well, when he got home, my daughter and I were here and pointed out that there was bird poop on his back! Ummm...oh well! :th_biggrin:

[Honesty]

[Anne & Gang]

You sit every day, covered in feathers and bird poo and don't blink an eye.

[coltfire]

You see a new bird at a store and have to bring it home.as for $80-$100 a month try a week

[Honesty]

You sit every day, covered in feathers and bird poo and don't blink an eye.This is so true Anne :)

[Pinkbirdy]

Your most favorite thing in the world is them :)

[ShellyBorg]

When you can't stop sniffing them.....

[Maddy]

When almost all of the pictures on your camera/phone/iPod are of your birds.

I'm impressed you are spending $80-100 a week. That's a lot of produce. For my rather small flock, $80-100 allows them a good diet and some luxury treats as well. I'm content

I have 23 in my flock and every one of them eat as good as I do.

[Mare]

That's a good one Maddy! My IPad is 90% birds :th_eek:

So are both my Ipod and Camera. :th_biggrin:

[Minamommy]

You have more picks of your bird/birds than you do you children.

[Honesty]

You have a bowl full of fruit that is strictly for the parrot :)

[Maddy]

You know you're a parront when no matter what you are talking about, you seem to find some way to talk about your bird. :th_biggrin:

[Pinkbirdy]

Maddy, that's the best :)

[Honesty]

You tell people to be quiet as your bird is having a little nap :)

[Debra]

You have bite marks all over your hands/arms and when you explain it to other people you say they were just love nips.

[Honesty]

You find yourself drawn into a shop that sells Parrot Cages ;)

[kendrafitz]

You go to the jeweler to have your wedding rings replaced. Then have to explain why they are bent and cut with a bolt cutter, while he stand there with his eyes bugging out if his head.

[Turquoise]

You're shopping for groceries and hubby picks up something he likes and you raise one eyebrow and ask, "Can the birds eat that?" Hubby sheepishly says, "No" "Then PUT IT BACK!!"

These are too cute!! So many ya'll have added could very well be in my post as well. LOL

[Honesty]

You spend ages looking through all the different fruit in the supermarket, thinking to yourself "I wonder if my baby will like this" instead of thinking "I wonder if my family will like this" :th_LOL:

[Honesty]

You go away for a few days and spend the whole time wondering if they are okay :)

[Debra]

You walk out of the house to go somewhere and wonder if you locked them properly in their cages. (speaking from first hand experience lol)

[Maddy]

You go away for a few days and spend the whole time wondering if they are okay :)

ALSO: When you constantly call and/or email your bird sitter while you are away. :th_biggrin:

[kendrafitz]

Your heart melts when your parrot puffs up, rolls over and "ahhhh, ohhh"'s while getting scritches.

[Pinkbirdy]

You spend along time stressing about the right toy [and never spend money on yourself] .Iim waiting for "What not to wear" to show up at my house.:)

[Maddy]

When you look at everything as a bird toy. "No! Don't throw away that box! The birds can use it as a toy!"

[Debra]

You quit wearing jewelry because busy beaks cause broken jewelry.

[Honesty]

You ask people to save, yoghurt pots, plastic tops, etc!

[Minamommy]

These are ALL so true. I looked at myself the other day and thought omg you look a wreck. I wear nightgowns no bras with big chew holes in them every day. Because Mina chews on my clothes an will cling to my bra and go crazy flinging around. Don't know what the hubby thinks but Mina and I couldn't be happier. The funny thing is I now have to ask my husband are we doing anything? I just need to know before I get dressed. Then I put on my nightgown and go be with Mina 😍

[Mare]

I can so relate, Kim! I do dress up when I have to work but get back into my comfy clothes when I get home, clothes that I don't mind the birds chewing on!

Terri! I keep telling my kids to please make the call!!

[Mare]

Yeah, so weird, Maddy. Sometimes, I hate how my birds come up in conversation but then,,I can't think of anything else to talk about?! Yikes!!

[Turquoise]

When you hear one let out a blood curdling scream and you break your neck tripping over furniture running to see which feathered kid is being murdered! Only to find it was all in fun & games with a favorite toy one of your macaws is swinging upside down on. :)

[shel]

you are in a conversation, you are bored, so you tune out and think of your bird. then when asked a question you can only say "huh? what?"

- - - Updated - - -

you find that you prefer the company of your bird to the company of nearly all of the people you meet.

[Honesty]

Haha, so true Shel :)

[Maddy]

When you save all your toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls to make bird toys.

[Honesty]

When you only buy vegetables that you know your bird will like :)

[Turquoise]

:ROFLMAODog: You too Maddy? I don't think my birds realize there are store bought toys anymore.:th_pinklol2:

When in every store, even restaurants you are eating at you find yourself looking around and thinking, "That would make a neat new bird toy!"

[Maddy]

^ :th_hehe: Almost all of the toys my birds get are homemade! I save everything that is safe and can be used for bird toys! :th_biggrin:

[Maddy]

You know you're a parront when your bird has their own Twitter/Facebook/Instagram ect....

[Honesty]

When you go out of town and call home to talk to your bird/s :th_hehe:

[Maddy]

When you are talking to your friends, and then suddenly stop to have a conversation with your bird. (And then your friends look at you like you are a crazy person)

[Debra]

You get so excited that a co-worker has gotten a parakeet that you start spouting off your knowledge to them (and taking them samples of pellets, millet, toys, etc.)

[Maddy]

When every time you see a bird on a TV show or movie, you get upset if they show un proper living conditions for the bird.

[Turquoise]

When you offer your cheek for a kiss and get a smart nip instead, but are willing to give the little stinker (Sierra) a kiss anyway.

[Turquoise]

When you bargain shop for yourself, but think nothing of plunking down hundreds of bucks to get the finest foods, toys & cages for your feathered angels. And your two legged human child tells you he never had it that good when he was young. :)

[Honesty]

When you come home early from a night out as you have spent all night worrying if they are stressing because you are not there :)

[kendrafitz]

You come home from vacation and don't leave the house for days so you can "make it up" to your parrot (or boss in my case). ;)

[Honesty]

You creep around in the morning so you don't disturb them :)

[Turquoise]

When you come in from work in the morning and your Pionus starts screaming~~EeeeWOK! And you scream back~~EeeeWOK! You both do this several times in a loving greeting sort of way. If any non parrot person were to hear this they would surely think you've lost it and need professional help. LOL
