    That birdie looks like my Jim, who went to the bridge 25 years ago. Damn, he was a great bird.

      Budgies are stinkin’ cute.

      • skippymom says:

        Jim was great. He used to say “Pining for the fjords”, “Hurry up please, it’s time” and “Take off, eh?”

        • Fird Birfle says:

          you had a wonderful bird who SAID pinin’ for the FJORDS?????

          *sigh*

          RIP, Jim!!!

          • skippymom says:

            It’s true. And he said it in that indignant, incredulous John Cleese tone of voice: “PINING for the FJORDS?!”

          • jlamusings says:

            That is the most awesome bird talkin’ ever!! RIP Jim!

            Reminds me that my vet has a parrot in the lobby that just imitates children crying for mommy (she used to be in a preschool). It’s kinda disturbing…. much prefer comedy greats!

          • pyrit says:

            I knew a parrot that flawlessly mimicked the wife’s voice nagging the husband. :-D

          • skippymom says:

            Oh man, I would laugh my a** off if I could hear the parrot imitating crying children. (As someone who works with small children every day, I have earned the right to say that.)

          • Theresa says:

            Best parrot talk ever– the one of a friend’s sister, who used to yell at the dogs, “Wanna go out? Wanna go out?” :mrgreen:

        • Dash says:

          You had a bird named JIM (okay, brilliant right there) that said “Pinin’ for the Fjords”?? Well, I can’t have any more pets. That’s the pinnacle.

    Thank you for putting that ear-worm in my head for this entire day! Gaah!!!

    Okay, I saw the “Lion King” reference and got it, but when it came to the “Everybody look left…” part, I was trying to parse it as an Adam Ant lyric because of the “Ant” reference.

    I went to an altogether too happy place for an instant. :D
