Am I the only one

[stewey]

..or there more of us who really can't be botherd clicking onto these damn utube thingies. Surely, if you have something to impart upon the thread, do it yourself.

[mrs.chappie]

Nope, you're not on your own .... some peeps don't like YouTube links. Then again, some peeps do.

Is that you on your avatar, stewey?

[stewey]

Thats me, Mrs Chappie, a few years ago in Montego Bay with Chico on my arm whilst I'm drinking Red Stripe Beer. Sorry, I don't have it on utube:)

[ummmm]

I don't embed it as I don't like the amount of space it takes up. I post links so you have an option of clicking on them. If you don't want to then they don't take up much space :-) x

[mrs.chappie]

Good Lord, I didn't notice that bird on your arm. Is he an African Grey? I have a Grey called Dudley.

[Mamyalynne]

I do embed them but do not click on everyone I see

[stewey]

I don't the type, Mrs C; but, I do know it tried to steal my wrist-watch: I kid you not.

[mrs.chappie]

I can believe you, stewey. I have a macaw. He could take all the buttons off your shirt in about a minute. Fascinating birds though.

I used to rescue birds and at one time had about 100 in three outdoor aviaries and one indoor aviary.

Wow mrs c, that's a lot. My dad used to breed budgies when I was a kid. One day my mum left the aviary doors open and they all escaped. We had a row of trees at the bottom of the gardens and they all went in there. Most of them came back when they were hungry though.

[mrs.chappie]

It's nice that they came back, Jan. We once had an escapee and lost him for good.

There was also a day when I went out and accidentally left the door unlocked. Seven budgies were perched on the curtain pole above the door. I came home to find the door swinging open, and all seven budgies still perched on the curtain pole. Sounds like a tall story, but I promise it is true.

Tony, macaws can do you a lot of harm if they want to. They are very powerful birds.
