I have a Monday for the books, I kid you not........
Around 6 this morning I hear this really odd bird calling, ok its 6AM, I am not going to investigate. 7:00 rolls around, I wander out to the patio, let the dog out, the cat in. Cat can't high tail it in fast enough, meh it's a cat they are odd anyways ( I would soon learn what had thrown fear into the cat). I take up a chair, thinking "I'll bring my lappy out & hit the emails, throw some homework in the dropbox & go from there." One of the worst, WORST ideas I've had in a long time.
Lappy set up, caffeine opened & beginning to consume when I hear this whipwhipwhipwhipwhip behind me head, then in my hair. I bail out of the chair onto the patio, rolling & looking to see what the fuck that was. Nothing. Ok, lets try take 2. Cussing like a sailor denied leave, I brush my knees & legs off, and take up where I left off before the bltizkrieg started. Suddenly.............WHIPWHIPWHIPWHIPWHIP, this time I turn and here it comes, straight at me. FAHKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.
I'm ducking an weaving like a prizefighter & this thing isn't letting up, I did get in a good back hand & off to the pine it returned.[img]/A/01/62/42/254205234r.jpg[/img]
Can you say hello Animal Control? Well the bird isn't hurt so they want nothing to do with it. I tell Anna, that if it dives me one more time, problem solved & they will be able to come get it.
In the mean time the neighbor steps out with her dogs and asks if I've heard a weird bird call this morning? Funny you should mention it Cindy, why yes yes I have. (Cue the parrot again)The parrot lands on the chain link fence between us. She freaks, I ain't turning my back on the bastard. She sends a text to her hubby after I explain that AC won't take the bird. Well, her hubby replies "CAPTURE IT". Ok, my neighbor is a DPS officer & the thing that comes to my mind is he is going to send a flunky greenhorn trooper over to take it to AC. Mr Forceful authoritative figure & all right? WRONG!! He calls, catch the bird we'll keep it & see if someone throws an ad up. We catch it, cage it. Come to find out it perv laughs "he he he he he" and whistles. Couple of hours later & a $46 trip to PetsMart later the parrot is resting comfortably in his temporary new home. |
