Went for a walk! - Paw Talk

Mallory · #1 09-24-2003, 05:59 PM

Got about three houses down, and Abe took off around a tree and landed across the street! I thought his wings were short but I hurried in the house with him and clipped them shorter! At least he didn't get up high...

Phew, that being done, we went back outside and took a few pictures as requested

then I put the camera in the house and we went for a walk. He had fun ripping up the tissue I held in my hand and chomping on my ring. He was surpised when we walked by a bush and a bird flew out. He didn't really see it as he was preoccupied with the tissue, but I think he knew what it was... either way he lifted his head up and looked around like "What?" ha ha

We got a few smiles and a lot of strange looks. He eyed the kid on the bike.

He didn't poop on me once! (I *think*. Gotta check my back in the mirror! HA HA) We had a good time, it was nice!

Here are the pictures I took:

This is me (duh) and Abe (even bigger duh) but the shadow of the camera and my hand, eh. I don't care. haha

I tired to be a goon and make it look like he was sitting in the chair on the patio. (GI-gun-DO bird!!) I don't think he was very amused....

Kinda blurry but I kept it anyways, he was looking at an airplane overhead!

(So precious!)

Looks you both had fun! He is a handsome guy and looks alot like my Floyd!

Jodi · #9 09-25-2003, 01:15 PM

Cute pictures! I especially like the one where Abe is looking at the airplane. I'm glad you were able to take him for a walk! He is such a cutie!

He is adorable! good pictures!

Great Pictures!
You probably already know this - but I have to say it anyway

Even the best wing clipping can't keep a bird (especially a fast light super flight master Cockatiel) from catching a breeze and taking off. All it takes is one good updraft and those birds can fly, even clipped!
Have you ever seen those birdie harnesses? I have one for my 'tiel. They are easy to put on and really gives you peace of mind when you have them unteathered outside.
Actually, I have a spare, if you are interested I could send it to you to check out. They cost about $20.00 around here and I ended up with an extra because I was getting one for my Cockatoo and the wrong size was in the package marked Large (arrgh, lol).

He's so cute! He looks just like my Dweezil

Mallory · #12 09-25-2003, 09:24 PM

yes I would surely be interested in that! Do you want anything for it?

Ooh, do you have a picture of it on a bird? I'd like to see it!

*cool*

Mallory · #13 09-25-2003, 09:48 PM

*hope this picture shows up*

Does it look sorta like this?

Deja · #14 09-26-2003, 12:18 AM

Yep! It looks like that - except the one I have is hot pink

I'd be more than happy to send it to you... PM or email me your info and I'll mail it to you! No, No... I don't want anything for it silly! I have no use for it... it's sitting in my kitchen drawer doing nothing

Ya never know... Abe might like it - and if he got spooked or anything while outside he wouldn't get hurt, and couldn't get far!

It's just so great that you take him outside!! He must love it!

Mallory · #15 09-26-2003, 07:08 AM

Well thanks! This is great and so kind of you to just give it to me!

I'm SURE he'll love the hot pink!!

Check your pm's...
