(Hmm, he countered with the Sumatran Sacrifice; I wasn’t expecting that. I should respond with Kaplopsky’s Flying Feint, but that will expose my little horsie guy…)
OMG, BUDGIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a beautiful one too! I love birdz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More birdz, more more more!!!!!
**takes a moment to reclaim diginity**
ahem, also bird fact: the favorite activity of most budgies is knocking things over. Mine like to knock stuff off of high ledges so there is breakage. This yellow guy looks like he is thinking about causing some damage
Ha! I try to distract my birdies with disposable shredables (like newspaper and paper towel tubes) so they avoid nibbling on the important stuff like books and woodwork (sadly they still spend a lot of time making tiny chips in my closet door and desk).
I wasn’t as clever growing up though, I had a cockatiel in high school that literally ate my homework, albeit not enough to prevent turning stuff in .
I don’t know why everyone thinks cats are the masters of mischief/evil, my vote is for birds.
Theresa, I forgot all about the budgie and spent the last hour watching Blackadder and Fry & Laurie – the dual at dawn and the choice of weapons – hilarious. Thank you.
I thought the favorite activity of budgies was, erm, courting, erm, inappropriate objects. Like this budgie looks to me like he’s giving the white king the eye.
Very true Theresa for *male* budgies, luckily the ladies got a bit more self control and intelligence
I have always found my female birds to be smarter than the boys, but male budgies are awfully sweet and cuddly, if you can get over the, er, “courting”
Well courting could mean you know… for real “courting” stuff or simply some male birds like to regurgitate on everything as means of wooing things, like their reflections, their favorite toys, etc. Upon occasion when my Petrie is feeling loving, he tries to offer me some already digested seeds (it would be really cute if it wasn’t also kinda disgusting).
So…what I’m getting outta this, is that if a male budgie takes an interest in me, he might be *cute* but … he’s not the type that I wanna take home to meet my mother….
Well…the banana…pear…bird…whatever the cute creature is (And YES I know its a budgie…) would outsmart me in chess any day. I still have yet to learn. Perhaps he/she will teach me?
That how I play chess too… by knocking the pieces over and going home.
I’m also trying to think of a rook/bird joke and it’s just not coming to me. Obviously, my brain is already over at C2E2 despite my body being at work.
Don’t worry little bird, i’m terrible at checkers too.
But, how are you at chess?
You just know that two seconds later the pieces are all over the place and the bird is chewing on one
Cute Overload needs more cute birdie pictures like this that don’t involve them physically interacting with predators!
Birdy Fisher contemplating his next move.
Ha!
He’s contemplating his endgame right now.
And its “Chirp Mate”…..
All the little peeps go wild!!!!!!!!!
Taunting me with cute birds again! [shaking fist in air]
Also, lovely color contrasts!
Chick and mate!
nicely played! ~see what I did there???
(love the hovertext too!)
“little horsie guy” =
also = BEF FTW!!!!
Oh oh, looks like birdie is about to be rooked.
My first thought was, “Why is there a banana posed next to a chess board?” A banana???
*gently hands Rachael her spectacles ….*
I thought it was a delicious juicy pear!
Now that’s just plain silly. *snort*
Looks more like a pear than a banana, damn you! *shaking fist*
I knew right away it was a bird.
*giggling @ skippymom’s shaken fist*, but from around a corner so skippymom doesn’t see me ….
Fine, whatevs. *humoring skippymom in her obvious dementia*
* overturns chess board, scattering pieces, and stalks off, munching on pear*
heh heh
SKIPPYMOM, DON’T EAT THAT BIRDIE!!
Skippymom=Ozzie Osbourne
Funny, this pear tastes like chicken.
EWWWWW! skippymom!
LMAO at Skippy
hahahhaha…heheheh…*dissolves into a case of the giggles*
Totally pwning that rook.
Stupid bird set up the board wrong. Sheesh.
Go for it birdie! I can’t tell you how many matches I’ve won with the Kaplopsky’s Flying Feint. No, really, I can’t.
OMG, BUDGIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a beautiful one too! I love birdz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More birdz, more more more!!!!!

My Jim liked to eat books. I still have several books with lots of tiny bite-holes in the page corners.
Funny, my rabbit does that as well skippymom. I can’t tell you how much prose my buns have nibbled!

I always say my rabbits are well-read.
SPECKLED JIM?

M budgie also likes to “hole punch” books!

Funny, I don’t remember Jim doing any dirty stuff like you guys seem to be suggesting.

Yes! They’re tiny Rick Jameses! He’s a very freaky bird, the kind you don’t take home to mother.
*giggle*
*ahem*
CHESS, not checkaires ….
*eyeroll*
*shakes her head and laughs at Firdie*
Well…the banana…pear…bird…whatever the cute creature is (And YES I know its a budgie…) would outsmart me in chess any day. I still have yet to learn. Perhaps he/she will teach me?
Myself, Ah “doan know nuttin’ ’bout” chess

Signed,
I’m a CARD player, dangit!
“nudge, nudge;
wink, wink !!!”
Cat to mouse 4….. Chirpmate!
Budgie takes rook.
That’s illigal in most states you know.
That how I play chess too… by knocking the pieces over and going home.
I’m also trying to think of a rook/bird joke and it’s just not coming to me. Obviously, my brain is already over at C2E2 despite my body being at work.
Is your Bishop a Budgie?
OMG! that is SOOO cute! I LOVE budgies!
