The Adventures of Birdee!

I have always said "Our Birdee" was nothing but trouble, from the first encounter I had with her, I knew my life would change. Mo warned me, but I was too curious, so I let her enter my life, and boy was I in for a ride.

She seems to think its ok, to fly around the nest, chirping away, using bird language, that makes no sense at all, and even tho she claims to be a expert at playing the piano, her beak and wings hit the wrong keys, and the sound is deafening.

The trees are her home, and she gladly sits in them, while watching the world around her, when she can sneak into someones window she does so with glee, and creates havoc as she flies thru. There are times she invites her bird friends, and the havoc is like the movie "The Birds", yes scary.

When she plays cards with Mo and Ronnie her games are never fair, and she will do what she has to do to win, if she has to cheat she will, and in turn will take all the money with her. She loves money, and at times you will even see her eat it. With all the money stashed in her beak , she will buy shovels, dog food, pepto bismol, beer and the Dance, Dance Revolution. She is a Dance, Dance Revolution fanatic, and uses it daily, that is why she has such skinny chickenowl legs.

Her manners are somewhat horrendous as she will
poop wherever she is, she has a good aim, so one must always look above and dodge the poop, however, be very careful, because her aim is so good, she will get ya right in the eye. Jax has been trying to train her to use the toilet, but always has to hand her the toilet paper, for if it was up to Birdee she would just poop and go.

Her drinking has definitely gotten out of hand, she loves Beer and will drink 48 beers in one hour, when confronted, she will deny her problem, and with beer in hand fly away. She will find a place to land, her favorite, a pool, once she lands, she makes herself comfy on a raft made only for birds, she will float as she drinks. Swimming is definitely out of the question, as too many beers and swimming just don't mix, its definitely not for the birds.

All this has been documented in the video below, I needed proof of her trouble making ways, as she is always blaming me or Mo. So now the truth will come out and I can rest my head on my pillow at night with ease.



There is something I have not mentioned, after all the turmoil Birdee ensues, she has most definitely been a bright light in my life.

She has become my friend, she is there whenever needed, and will always bring a smile to my face. Her wit can be infectious, and she is more than willing to give herself up for a chuckle. She will play along with me, and always takes what I throw her way, she is definitely a good sport.

Jax, I, Mo and Ronnie, are actually grateful for her trouble making ways, but most of all for her friendship.

Her friendship indeed, and I would not change it for the world~

  28. scirish Congrats on #1! Hey, I don't see LynnD around. You didn't do something to her, did you? Or maybe Birdee pooped on her head. LOL

    Carol Very fun video today. So embarrassing to catch Birdee on the toilet like that! Of course, at least we know she can use one and doesn't have to keep pooping on us all the time.

    I think we all better run for cover before Birdee starts dive-bombing us.

    Shirley Be prepared to hose us off, please!

  29. Good Morning J/LIN! Dang..did I miss cake somewhere along the line?? Maybe you'll save me some next time? :)

  31. Zona Yes, I needed help eating it. As it was, I ate almost the whole thing by myself. I will def save you some next time. :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Congrats on first scirish!! :)

    Carol: Hilarious blog!! That is just too funny. I had no IDEA birdeeeeee was such a wild one! Wow!! I got used to her fly-bys and bird poop drops because I have a cockatiel here at the house that flies around randomly. I love the Birds movie. That was one of my favorite movies when I was growing up. I think it was the first scary movie I ever saw and I went through a huge phase of loving scary movies and shows!!

    Birdee: Too funny! You are one wild bird! And, I don't mind a little bird poop once in a while, just-I hope you don't have those big poopies like the geese near my work. Also, thanks for the congrats on passing the test. :)


    J/L: Good point about the toilet! Birdee DOES know how to use one!

    Scirish: Have fun checking out the hound! I hope that it is a good fit!

    Well, I am heading back to work soon so take care all and sorry for the quick fly by! Everyone have a great day! We are supposed to have a big snow storm tonight. I got my milk, bread and stuff (yes, I am one of those people) at the store and am ready for the worst..hehe.

    Take care all and have a spectacular Monday! :)

    Before I forget I want to wish SANDIE well tomorrow. My thoughts will be with you for your procedure.

  34. Scirish~congrats on first!

    Carol~ You are one clever Lady!
    Did you tell Birdee that the cam was still on?

    Birdee,,"I see you!" lol!!

    Justlin, I bet U R glad that cake is gone! Drop down and give me 10!!

    IBB, Did you say that 4-letter word? s-n-o-w!!

    Zona~ I am so glad all of you got together!

    Tina & Diane..wishing you safe travels.

    Lani, thank-you for reminding me of Sandi's procedure today.

  37. Zona,
    So glad you had a great weekend.. It is so good to laugh!

    :O)

    ReplyDelete
  38. Bebbi,
    I never like the movie "The Birds" it scared the crap out of me, then again I don't like scary movies.. I never ever watch them, and if for some reason I do I cover my face the whole time.. which makes no sense at all cause you miss all the scary parts.. The last scary movie I watched was Silence of the Lambs, and sat in the movie theater with my coat over my face..

    So, no scary movies for me..

    ReplyDelete
  39. So glad everyone enjoyed todays blog..

    See ya all later when I get home...

    American Idol, I believe is three nights this week.. Tues,Weds,and Thurs.. Fun!

  40. Okay..... I went out to my car today and there is major BIRD POOP running down the side of it. Is it Birdee's Revenge? LOL

    Mary Sadly, I probably couldn't even give you one!

  41. EBJ Now THAT was a march! Congrats!

  45. Good evening and congrats to scirish for first. I just know you enjoyed meeting the bassett puppy today. We had one for years named Maynard.

    Hope our travelers are home safely now. And I bet Zona is already missing them.

    Carol~ you have really started my evening with a good laugh. Too cute! Birdee is so loved and such a hoot. I've often wondered how she spent her free time. Actually, Mo and I have left her house many times, broke as hell over her marked cards at the poker table. Can you imagine...we brought the snacks and beer too.

    Birdee, Birdee, Birdee. You know I love ya and I'm sorry Carol called all the locksmiths in the whole world and told them about you. Ha!



    Waving a wing to everyone.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Birdee I hope someone brushes that snow off of your back soon. You look soooooo cold!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Hi J/l~

    That poop on your car probably was from The Bird.

    Birdee, I didn't know you played the piano. One thing for sure, you can drink.

    Ya know, I have often wondered why your legs were so skinny, and now I know. I'm just not too sure if those platform heels are a good idea though.

    I do love my little friend, even with all her weird little ways.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I just got home, so I'll be back in a little while.

  49. Hey Ronnie!!!

    Those cards were not marked!!!!

    That was just pork grease from MO's
    pig's feet!!!! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  50. Oh, so that is why she kept slipping down on the floor.

    Pig grease and beer just don't mix.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Yeah! And when she burp's....you beter be far far away!!!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Hi Ronnie!

    Birdee LOL @ pig grease!

    ReplyDelete
  53. BIRDEEEEEE...I am so glad the truth has been revealed...you are a beer guzzling, card cheating, pooping...treasure! I love ya my little birdie friend!!

    SANDIE...positive wishes to you for tomorrow. Please check in as soon as you are able!

    ZONA...I am so glad you and the Denver and Utah Crackwhores had a wonderful time!!

    I am still laughing at the video! I think Birdeee deserves an Academy Award!

    ReplyDelete
  54. RONNIE and BIRDEE...grease from my pigs feet? OMG!!!! I will have you know my breath is minty fresh!!

    ReplyDelete
  55. MO At least your feet aren't pickled!

    ReplyDelete
  56. And my cloven hooves are adorable and don't smell, either!

    ReplyDelete
  57. MO Cloven toe....is that something like Camel Toe?

    ReplyDelete
  58. Mo! Had any pork rind's lately???

    ReplyDelete
  59. SCIRISH...I truly have no idea how the Mayor managed to light his hair on fire! I can't imagine it was easy or planned!!!! I may google it and see if I can find the details! I was just a kiddie when it happened ;)~

    ReplyDelete
  60. Birdee: It did me too, but it hailed the beginning of my enjoyment of being scared. I rode that wave from the time I was about 11 to 16. I saw the exorcist when I was 12...THAT was the scariest movie EVER to me. But I loved the Birds...it was so suspenseful. I used to watch Dark Shadows too. Every day! And we had someone called "Sammy Terry" who would lead us into the scary movies on Friday nights.

    Sandie: good luck on your procedure tomorrow, whatever it is. :)

    Carol: You and my daughter would get along great. She doesn't like scary movies at all. My scariest thing to watch these days is Ghost Whisperer and Medium. I am crazy over Medium. I just love that show!


    Okay, going to pick up my son from the airport. He is getting back from San Jose today. I won $700.00 at the slot machine in Vegas on my lunch hour at the Walmart. I split it with him, so I am picking up my money too. hehe...

    ReplyDelete
  61. J/L...LOL...Camel Toe!!

    OMG...turning from pig grease to porn and Carol isn't even here.

    Gotta go stir my soup and change clothes.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Dang, there sure is a lot of bird poop in here. Did birdee take a laxative today? Or, is all the excitement getting your stomach all in a tizzy? When I get excited, that happens to me (too much information??)

    bbl

    ReplyDelete
  63. JUST LIN...very funny!! At least I don't have an in-grown corn like someone else on this blog! (CAROL, I won't mention your name!!) bwahahaha

    BIRDEE...pork rinds...I think that is just wrong on soooo many levels!

    BTW, I just had a ham sammy for dinner! I am a cannibal!

    ReplyDelete
  64. SCIRISH...I was wrong, he didn't go aflame at a bowling alley. Here is a snippet from Wikipedia...

    As mayor, Perk became the subject of national ridicule on October 16, 1972, (my 14th birthday!!) when he accidentally set his hair on fire while he attempted to use a welder's torch for a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a convention in Cleveland

    Perk was again publicly humiliated after suggesting that a study on pornography ought to be conducted by municipal sanitation workers.

    Perk also banned the sale of Playboy Magazine at Cleveland Hopkins Airport, causing even more ridicule to fall upon him.

    Perk's wife, Lucille, achieved notoriety when she rejected an invitation from the First Lady Pat Nixon to an event at the White House in order to attend her regular bowling night. Later, Perk explained his wife's comment to mean that she was unable to attend because the invitation had come too late and she was unable to prepare for travel. Perk was rumored to say, "tell them it's your bowling night." Though the remark brought howls of laughter, it endeared the Perks to their ethnic base.

  69. HELP!

  80. Carol, thank you for the much needed laugh tonight! That video was priceless. And, it was so nice to get some more insight into the life of Birdee. She's quite an interesting bird. No wonder we all love her so!

    Thank you for all the good wishes and thoughts for tomorrow! I mentioned it on the blog last week or so that I had to have this surgery and asked if anyone knew anything about it. I have since talked to a few people about it and they all say it's the best thing they ever did so I'm hoping it will be the same for me.

    It's called an endometrial ablation and should stop my periods for good (the doctors wanted me to do this to get control of my anemia). The doctor tells me the closer you are to age 50 (and I'm 6 mos. away!), the more likely you'll never have another cycle. That's what I'm hoping for! It's just day surgery so I'll be home in the afternoon.

    I'm nervous about it though, so just needed some time to myself for the past few days. I'm trying to catch up on missed blogs/comments.

    Sorry to Whabbear and Joey for all the icky girl info. :)

    Thanks again to all you sweet owls for thinking of me. I'll check in real soon, unless I'm high on pain meds! :]

  85. It has been a very full day in dog search mode.

    First, we took my Yorkie , who is used to cats, to do a test run to determine if introducing cats into sig daughters household would cause mayhem. That went well and the cats were in charge. We were concerned about the rescue cat freaking out. He did....but he wanted to attack the dog...
    So then, encouraged as we were, we went to meet the Basset Hound puppy (who really doesn't look like a puppy, since he is 23 weeks old). I'll tell you that guy is smart...The owners ushered us into a room and we (with much groaning on my part) sat on the floor. There was my groaning self, the sig daughter and the sig son. Wanna guess who the dog made a beeline for? The sig daughter is the one who wants a dog....right in her lap. The sig son, who is not sure...( but owns the house the sig daughter lives in )jumped in his lap too and kissed his face.... Me, who did all the research, carting, groaning and may be paying for all this...not a lick or a cuddle...But we apparently have a dog. He is the long-eared version (I didn't know there was another kind) and has a personality that belies his countenance. My sig daughter is ecstatic and we have done a bit of dog shopping. We get to pick him up in a few days....

  93. Scirish: Congrats on the new addition to the family. :) Yee haww....have fun!! :)

    Jax: What a nice comment you wrote. :) It made me feel all warm and fuzzzzyyy..oh wait, I am Owl, I am already warm and fuzzy!


    I need those slippers! My son was at the Las Vegas Airport. He called me at lunch and said that he would play a slot machine for me. So, I said, Okay and I would spend $5! I said I wanted to play $1.00 machine, five tries. So he read off the names of the machines and I told him which one to go to. I chose the one with Stars. So, the first one went in and I won two, The second one he did I lost, The third one he did I won two again, the fourth one he did I lost. I told him it was the last pull and I would cash out (thus owing him $3 upon his return). So, he pulls the lever and I hear this ringing noise..and he gets all excited. Well, we got two diamonds and a seven which meant we won 9 times the amount which equaled = $724!!! So tonight, when he came home. I got $350! I told him that we could split it since it was a joint effort. I channeled my inner winner! hehe...

    ...which leads me back to,,, I am going to go and buy those Owl slippers!!

  99. I am too pooped to pop too!! It was such a fun weekend and I know tomorrow I am going to hurt from laughing so much. Everyone needs one of those girl weekends every once in awhile. TINA AND ZONA...I already miss you. It's not as fun at my house as it was at ZONA'S. It is 3 degrees and my plane was delayed from the snow. I was hoping that I would be snowed in and be able to stay in Phoenix. It wasn't too fun leaving beautiful palm tree Phoenix to come home to snow and cold. I am ready to go back...this time of year. We talked, laughed, ate, stalked MrZ, and ate some more and I even/finally wrote a blog and then we ate again!

    CAROL: What a fun video of BIRDEE!! My memories of the first time I really talked to Birdee (a long time ago) was when she posted on the other blog that she was looking out her window and there was was the Goodyear Blimp almost in her yard!! Now that I see the whole video of her life----hmmm, I wonder if drinking was involved even back in those days?

    I am putting on my warm jammies and heading off to bed...TINA AND ZONA, I made sure my husband took me to eat right away. Night....
