Irrational Fears

[saltysack]

Wow, that's a nice group of animals! . Someone carried a parrot on their hike in 2010. A hiker friend told me that he was welcomed to one the shelters in GA by a talking parrot. He said it was kinda bizarre but cool!

I can't believe I found the journal entry first try.

Ha Ha!! Not sure if this lady made it very far with the parrot. I forgot to ask One Life about it when he stopped by my house after he finished his hike .... would be so cool if this lady made it all the way with the parrot.

The bird would have picked up some interesting sounds....in the shelters..we really have to watch we say in front of him.. My wife is a germ freak w my kids now the birds says wash your hands to kids. He says over 100 words and makes tons of different animal sounds from barking, meowing, squawking like a sea gull and screeching like a hawk... Our neighbors love it when he's outside on our front deck ...

I love it saltysack! I've always wanted a parrot that talks like that. So cool! ) I'm sure that bird could say some interesting new sounds/words after "hiking" on the AT... LOL!

I can see it now, a farting parrot, could cause some embarrasment when everyone believes it's you.

I've been trying to think of other things I'm irrationally afraid of.

Maybe politicians?






.... And then again... maybe not that irrational.

I have fear, that if I owned a parrot, it would mostly say, "Shut the ^&*(& up."

He actually does make Fart noises every morning....prob the worst is moaning noise he makes when he sees my wife. His cage was in our bed room lil too long...I can assure u he didn't hear it often :-)and now does it at first sight of my wife..... She gets so pissed...I can't stop laughing a year later...

I knew someone who had a parrot with a very foul mouth.
As the parrot cursed on and on like a drunken sailor, the poor lady would shake her head and say "I don't know who taught him to talk like that".

[Foresight]

At least he wasn't buzzing.....
