I have yet to find any word for any parrot that translates directly into "noisy fucker," but it feels like such a thing should exist. Maybe in one of the Aboriginal languages in Australia or some other place where they're surrounded by loud rear end in a top hat birds.Battle Pigeon posted:I hope that's true because it makes them sound amazing.

Kenshin posted:Awwww.... http://www.9news.com/story/news/local/storytellers/2015/07/13/wende-harston-pet-parrot-queen-city-jazz-band/30066977/ I think somebody posted a story in here a while back about a similar situation with a macaw and his owner. The man lost his home and had to give up his bird, but he came in faithfully every day after work to see his bird and spend time with him. After a while, whenever somebody came to the shelter and was interested in adopting this macaw, the employees would explain that he had already been adopted and they were simply boarding him for the owner.

It doesn't seem quite right, somehow... 阿亀鸚哥, okame-inko Something like "housewife parrot" or "flat turtle parrot", but honestly I think the character used for "o" is just for its sound and not meaning in any way, and the "kame" (turtle) part is also questionable.

Bitey has figured out which drawer his seeds come from and all day has been standing in front of it, running back and forth and squeaking. No bird! You get your seed ration and your delicious vegies and as much pellets as you can eat, no extra seed < > He hasn't even finished his seed ration, he just wants more of the sunflower seeds that he has finished.

So Judah likes the laser pointer more than the idiot cat does. I had him with me while she was shut in the other half of the house and he was very carefully chasing it around my desk in that ridiculous little potato waddle Good birb.

Hmmm, let's see what I can find in Google translate! Cockatiel in Turkish is "sultan parrot". In lots of European languages it's a variation of "maiden" or "nymph" cockatoo/parrot/parakeet (Finnish "neitokakadu", Danish "Nymfeparakit", etc). Korean is "crowned parrot". For a lot of eastern European languages it just gives a variation of corella or parrot. For Hebrew, for some reason, it translates it as קוקטייל, which is... cocktail  I think that might be wrong, somehow!

Nugget used to have a budgie buddy, Sprite, they were little birdie BFFs. Sprite followed Nugget around everywhere but also harassed her a lot. Just like a proper little sister should do, I suppose. RIP Sprite she was the cutest.

Enjoying some tasty cooked carrot, spinach, and broccolini with Captain Bitey (No butter or pepper for birbs.) He loves the little broccoli florets and is not so keen on the stalk. His beak is all mushy and green. I have figured out the way to get him to stop squeaking for sunflower seeds is to get him to eat other healthier but still tasty things. If his mouth is full of delicious broccoli he can't squeak for seeds!

Whenever I go Back Home and visit my chickens I hug them and tell them they will be turned into chicken nuggets (fat chicken) or soup stock (skinny chicken) if they misbehave. Captain Bitey may or may not be threatened with eating when he's taking a while to settle down at night or squeaking early in the morning.

オカメインコ is actually referring to the Okame goddess. You might have seen these masks before: Same rosy cheeks.  (And from what I've noticed, no one really bothers with kanji for parrot names.

She was, Nugget and Sprite stories and photos were the best. And Nugget is an amazing name! BTW, remember you sent two little foot toys all that time ago with the harness for Ohtori? He finally destroyed it (a toy made of fibres, with a bead on each end, and a plastic ring on the length) yesterday-not with his beak, but by rolling on to his back and tearing it in two with his feet.
