I love the expressions on Chet's face. You just need a Rottweiler to help Chet take care of that bird. :)Dochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18199009437010015707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-1165414318310978142006-12-06T09:11:00.000-05:002006-12-06T09:11:00.000-05:00I love to read your blog at work.

And as they get older they get crotchety. Who doesn't? Charles is still a sweetie, but he does have his edges. This business of biting the beloved to protect her is parrot logic at its most twisted.<BR/>As for Chet, he knows not to mess with "Mother's birds," just like he knows which stuffed animals in the kids' rooms are irreplaceable. He has started sneaking down to the basement and rummaging around in their old toys, though, and will streak through the room carrying a stuffed gorilla, but he always brings it to me first to see if it would be OK to tear it up. I never let him do it, but he keeps trying.Julie Zickefoosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654698829603424649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-1165324994659181042006-12-05T08:23:00.000-05:002006-12-05T08:23:00.000-05:00The photos of Chet are priceless.

I loved the pictures and even though I am strictly a BT kind of gal I have to laugh at that crazy bird. I have friends with macaws and they must all be that way. One friend has a blue and gold and that dern bird will take a finger off if you get near his owner. Hers if you get too close to her just to get her to move away from you! Chet is soooo good! I just can't imagine his mother or grandmother backing down like he has. He must know how much you love that green feathered tyrant! Those pictures made my night....now what will I do over my morning cup of coffee??? REREAD!Janeymshttp://pupswilltravel.tripod.comnoreply@blogger.com
