Chris asked me what I want for my birthday. I told him "no stress, please." I don't want any gifts - just vacume or pay a bill.

My house is insane, so I gave away 2 of my birds and kept 2. I gave away the enormous cage - that thing was like having a garbage truck in the middle of my house. I went and bought a tiny cage (too small for 2 cockatiels) but I keep the door open so they wander around the house with the cat and the dogs. Everyone is getting along for now. I think all the birds will be better in the long run cause now I can give Daisy Sunshine and Triscuit the attention they deserve. And Carlo and Eddie have gone to a very loving home.

Poor birdies... Glad they went to a good home.

I hope Chris gets you what you want for your bday!! What's the date, again, Miss Libra??? :mad:

I can relate, We gave our Cockatoo named Fred away to a new home. It was for his own good, Fred had started to loose his feathers due to being cooped up too long. He was going stir crazy and was really jealous of the new arrivals (our kids) Now the only time hes cooped up is to go on vacation with his new family! Tom had that bird for more than 10 years. Giving him up was an act of love. I'm sure your Carlo and Eddie (cute names) will be better off for it too!

My little 14 yr old friend named Carlo. After going to a concert and being in the presence of Eddie Van Halen is when we named the meanest bird alive after the most intense guitar soloist I've ever heard. But 4 birds in one enormous cage... they were always fighting and there were actual splatters of blood from bird wars.

Now I have a too-tiny cage, but we leave the door open, and earlier I heard the birds but couldn't find them. One was chillen in the laundry room, the other on the pot shelves. Constantly running around with wet paper towels to clean up birdy poo.

Hey, the far-outest thing just happened... by the way, it's 3 a.m., which is insane for me since I go to bed at 9:00 p.m., but hubby wanted to party! He doesn't drink but took me to a local bar to dance & hear the band, then to 2 a.m. Vegas Breakfast, but the fun part was the ride home - I was actually freezing! You gotta understand I live in the desert, so the 100 degrees gets old after awhile. Being cold is orgasmic! Sorry, too much info! Home to my warm fur babies now.

P.S. Life is just starting to get fun - I waited 41 years, so no more birthdays please... I'm in freeze-frame mode - gonna chill out at this exact age for another decade or so. Denial. (can't get Christina Aguilera's "Dirty" out of my head... feel like being in a club dirty dancing.)

Lisa,

I don't think I ever got a chance to reply earlier but I loved your pictures. Thanks for sharing them. You are too cute and certainly don't look your age. Teresa:)
