The New Bird Clashes With Everything

by Not That Mike The Other Mike on March 10, 2009

"Mama’s little favorite, aren’t we?  I suppose you think you’re soooo much better than I am, just because you happen to match the furniture!"

Why, yes.  Yes, I am.

I think he really ties the room together, Kathy F.

Your the daffodil to my Hyacinth.

Blue bird of Spring?

It’s the wonderful Michele Obama influence: Go for color and style after years of bland.

5 JediPirate 03.10.09 at 4:03 pm

Parakeets! =D I loves me some parakeets. ^_^ Best pet ever.

6 Annie 03.10.09 at 4:05 pm

IT is just so hard to get the accessories that really pull a room together.

Heaven, I’m in heaven
And my hearts beat so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we’re out together dancing beak to beak

“This aggression will not stand, man!”

11 KittehMama x 3 03.10.09 at 4:23 pm

OMG! We have the same couches in a room in our basement! Totally comfy, but, oh, the horror of THE 80’s COLORS! We have tailored slipcovers on them now to hide their hideousness. Poor birds. Unless they get clothes from the 80’s, they’ll never blend….

12 Jennie Mello 03.10.09 at 4:32 pm

You are just soooo sweet. Let me keess you- mwah mwah mwah! More?? Mwh mwah mwah!!! Passionate parakeets.

13 Aoife 03.10.09 at 4:38 pm

Same rule applies to art and birds: don’t get it to match the furniture, get it because you like it. ;)

14 catloveschanel 03.10.09 at 4:45 pm

With those outfits, they could go on Dancing with the Stars…..

15 260Oakley 03.10.09 at 4:47 pm

Anyone feel the need to tweet about this post?

16 Susan 03.10.09 at 4:59 pm

OOOhhhh! They are both soooo cute.

17 Looloobelle 03.10.09 at 5:00 pm

Can I get a ‘I shall leeck you’?

18 Nancy 03.10.09 at 5:09 pm

Yes, but everyone needs some contrasting accent pieces, I saw it on Birdie Color Splash!

19 Carla 03.10.09 at 5:14 pm

The green one is a baby the blue one is older You can see that on the “nostrils”. Both are girls so I think, they are mother and daughter. sweet :)

20 Natalie 03.10.09 at 5:26 pm

Wow, they are so cute! I know nothing about birds but I might almost have one if they were this cute. And didn’t poop everywhere. That’s a fear I have.

21 Paunchie 03.10.09 at 5:28 pm

You people with yer birdies, what do you just let them fly around in yer house? Don’t they poop everywhere?

22 Paunchie 03.10.09 at 5:29 pm

See? Natalie and I just had the same thought!

23 Shellie 03.10.09 at 5:29 pm

Awwwwwwwww, their so tweeeeeet!! ^_^

24 AuntieMame 03.10.09 at 5:33 pm

We had a little blue parakeet when we were kids. Named “Pete.” (How original.) I remember to this day how devastated I was when he passed on. We buried him out by the back step in a Waxtex sandwich bag box. *snif*

25 Paunchie 03.10.09 at 5:42 pm

I kissed a bird and I liked it!

26 biscuithead 03.10.09 at 5:57 pm

Letting a parakeet sit on your shoulder + nibble your earlobe…

It’s a lethal dose of cuteness.

So, be careful folks.

27 Kristabelle 03.10.09 at 6:20 pm

I had a pair of parakeets when I was a teenager. They were NOISY!!! Now, we have a male cockatiel, though his name is Lilah.
It is difficult to let your birds fly around because they can REALLY get hurt – I speak from experience. We almost lost Lilah 2 years ago when she flew into a window. She is allowed out, but not allowed to fly. I know it seems cruel, but it’s the best thing for her. She was really injured and almost died. If you clip the first two flight (longest on the wing) feathers, they can not fly. It’s like cutting your nails – usually – unless you clip too short and they bleed, like doggie toenails.
And, yes, birdies, whether they fly or not DO poop everywhere. My husband HATES it, so I am quick to get it up.

28 Theresa 03.10.09 at 6:27 pm

I had a friendly li’l blue keet when I was very little– there’s a pic of me with him sitting on my head. We had other birds later, but that one was the best.

29 Tori 03.10.09 at 6:35 pm

That bird’s only a nihilist, nothing to be afraid of.

30 lrm 03.10.09 at 6:58 pm

My best friend growing up had “love birds”, I believe that was the kind. They were allowed to fly around and would land on your shoulder and nuzzle you (so soft)… I never saw them poop anywhere but the cage, but I don’t know why; maybe they were trained or something.

31 BB/VA 03.10.09 at 7:02 pm

Wonder how she’d look on the Blue Couch of Fabulousness?

32 hyura 03.10.09 at 7:19 pm

the level of matching btwn the bird and the room is craziness.

33 Edward 03.10.09 at 8:26 pm

We used to have lineolated keets, which are great, because they prefer climbing to flying. I had to keep a beard, because they loved nothing more than tweeking it with their little beaks. I miss them.

34 Theresa 03.10.09 at 9:00 pm

Edward, they really are charming little critters. They used to pull my hair our when I was a little kid.

35 Amanda 03.10.09 at 9:58 pm

Aww..i had a ‘pair of keets’ once too! They were green and blue like these too. With such snorglable bellies!

36 Kyoto 03.10.09 at 10:02 pm

Ohmygosh, budgies! I have got to get some new furniture to match my sweet little boo boo (yes, his real name). not to mention to match magoo, sutcliffe, and maryann. my house is going to look like a hippie house with green, yellow, and blue! groovy!

37 J. Bo 03.10.09 at 10:07 pm

“You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me…”

38 berthaservant 03.11.09 at 12:30 am

Kind of an urban/suburban “matchingks,” nu?

39 kibblenibble 03.11.09 at 1:43 am

My friend has a blue ‘keet. Her daughter named it Princess. When it was three months old,the cere(nostril area) turned blue. I told them that this meant Princess was a boy. Now he’s Prince S.

40 Kar 03.11.09 at 2:21 am

Definitely Matchink. When you match the couch/decor, it’s matchink.

41 totalee puppy 03.11.09 at 3:45 am

AuntieMame, you pull my heart two ways at once–”sniff” for losing Pete–
breaking up with laffs over the Waxtex sandwich
bag box.

42 Nicole 03.11.09 at 3:55 am

Oh look! They’re the same color as my salt and pepper shakers!!! http://www.appletreedesign.com/product_info.php?cPath=33_138&products_id=1794 I loves me the budgies!

43 Subhangi 03.11.09 at 9:32 am

Awww, I wuv wuvboids!

44 Mizzy 03.11.09 at 1:08 pm

I think you mean “she matches the furniture”, since both birds have pink on their beaks.

45 Lerrinus 03.11.09 at 1:36 pm

I’m with berthaservant needs a matchink tag!

My family got three budgies from my sisters friend – all were green budgies and my family named them Jade, Emerald and Celery!

46 Danielle 03.11.09 at 6:41 pm

Aw I always let my budgie fly, the cage was only closed if I wasn’t home. Just pick a bird-proof room. No clear windows (windows with clear curtains in front of them or plants, something that breaks them up, were fine with mine though) and no big mirrors. Then it’s just fine to let them fly around all they want. It would break my heart to have a bird that I couldn’t let fly, it’s in their nature after all.

I find budgie poop extremely manageable, just not right after they had some apple or something else watery.

Unfortunately my budgie was very ill and died before the age of 2.

47 Theo 03.11.09 at 6:46 pm

Matchingks it is.

48 Babydon 03.14.09 at 8:52 am
