Got one of those in my back room. His name is Bill 'cause he's got a big one. Tolerates me and the Old Hen, but loves the Pullet. I always wanted a Scarlet, but I should have bought a female. My Blue&Gold, Rodan, dearly loved me and only me. Hated the womenfolks.

Do you ever get fertile eggs

What I call "Colorful cutlets"

Do you ever get fertile eggs

Not from a male bird! He knows what sex he is. I did get one egg from Rodan over a 30+ year period, but it wasn't fertile as there were no males around.

So I would imagine it is difficult to breed Parrots in captivity?

I had one baby out of all my conures that was born here. His name is Baby, son of Tango and Daisy. Pretty guy.
I started out with a pair of Pacific Blue parrotlets. I bought 'em off a gal that listed them on Craig's list. She said she bought one, but was so busy with her new job that she figured it would get lonely so she bought a second one. She said the original one became very aggressive. She was right. I didn't violate their space, but I'd let 'em out of the cage daily for exercise. The little bastard would attack me without provocation. I knew that it was a mating thing, so I bought a breeding box and let 'em be. I've got over a dozen now.

My Pops had a yellow naped Amazon named Maurice that was a menace to everyone and everything except him.
Only drank scotch would refuse water much like Pops.

My Mom had birds. I hated those birds. Loud as fk and would cuss you too. Bastards threw seeds at me.

Im just wondering if anyone that got those kind still have to use reading glasses or if it effed up their eyes. I would do it to get away with reading glasses. If not I would just get regular plain glass on top and readers on the bottom as I hated that stage in my life where I was always looking for my readers. I had 40 pairs and never when I needed them

You have to use reading glasses afterwards even if you did not have to before

Bite TF! outta ya', too!

I'm not a fan of birds in the home. Can't trust them, and yes they are LOUD. They sure are pretty though!

I have had my Mia for 13 years.
I trust her to pick the sleepys in the corner of my eyes.
Its like popcorn to her
We had gotten her very young .The woman I was with had birds b4 and she fed her with eyedrops.
Mia looked like a pair of testicles with a beak.
I also know her moods

Did we ever get an answer to this. I say they are all right eggs and no left eggs.

maybe we should have a Poll?

I didn’t know the correct answer when posted it and was hoping someone here knew the correct answer

"It was a dark and stormy night. The fingernail-sliver-cut moon was hidden in the ominous skies."

It's prolly easier than if they're free ranging.

A coworker came up to me one day and asked "How can you tell if someone's been having oral sex with a chicken?"

Looking at him askance, I replied "I dunno..."

He said "Well...wait, excuse me"...and he put his hand to his mouth and coughed, blowing a bunch of small shredded white pieces of toilet paper out of his closed hand in my direction.

Caught me completely by surprise, and I laughed maniacally.
