I will be 6 years old next week and although I cannot fly, I do get around a lot .... thanks to my Mom... lol

Things I Love:

I love sitting on Mom's shoulder no matter where she is. In the kitchen I run around the counter and get into the cupboard where are the can food is. I love to peel the labels off the cans. I also love the dishwasher but I do not help with them, I only walk around the edges and see if I can poop on one or two dishes.

I was watching Mom do her art painting and she let me run around on the table. Of course I had to try my talent so I ate some green paint. Mom made me wash my mouth out. I love my cage in the kitchen as this is where I sit and watch outside when no one is home. I can walk over to my other cage in the living room when I want to build my house.

I love building my house. It is for my Mom but she can't fit in it. I will get it right soon. I love walking down to the coffee table to get a tie-wrap cause then Mom will get off the couch and give me a free ride back up to my cage with the tie-wrap in my mouth. I have trained mom to do this about 40 times a day.

I love when Mom is trying to nap cause she will let me sit on her belly and chew on the metal rivets on her jeans. I have torn 4 of them off already. If I don't want to go off my cage to be with mom, I make sure I scream about every 3 minutes so Mom knows I am still okay. lol

I love bath time. Mom will put some water in the bathroom sink and she never forces me in. When I go in and splash around I make sure I get lots of water everywhere so Mom will have an easier time to clean up. She carries me in a towel over to my cage to make sure I don't get too cold and once I am there, I shake more water everywhere so I am helping with the clean up.

I love when Mom does laundry. I go downstairs with her and when the clothes come out of the dryer, I will jump on top of the pile and start hunting for the downy sheet. Man I love the smell of the downy sheet. Mom let's me play with it for a little while.

I love going for walks with Mom. She will put me on the floor and I run down the hallway into the bathroom. Once there I have two favorite hiding places which is behind the toilet or under the counter. It is nice and dark there and I will usually scream really loud for a long time. I love to hear my echo and sometimes Mom will crawl down there with me and let me jump all over her hands.

I love going in the closet. Mom puts me on top of all her clothes that are hanging up and I walk back and forth tasting each piece. Sometimes I find a nice metal hanger and Mom will let me play with it on the table. She never gets angry if I poop on her stuff and even lets me run around on her bed. I love to go up on the pillows and see that other bird in the mirror. He makes me angry though cause he is a copy cat.

I love going exploring with Mom. I have been in every cupboard and walked on all the stuff in the cupboards. It is more fun when Mom closes the door a little and makes it dark in there.

I love when Dad gives me a ride to Mom's shoulder. That is the only time I won't bite him.

I love climbing the Xmas tree or any of the fake plants that Mom has. She never gets angry and lets me chew all the plastic leaves off.

I love eating with Mom. She shares everything with me. Some of my favorites are spaghetti, macaroni and cheese, toast, grizzle from chicken, romaine lettuce, peas from the pod, chicken noodle soup, tomato soup, crackers, whole wheat bread, peanuts, boiled potatoes, apples, grapes, watermelon, pears and boy I could go on and on. The food in this house is great. Mom is a good cook.

When Mom is on the computer (like now) I climb down on her shirt (like a broach) and I peel off all the sparkles she has on her sweater. I make a really good broach. If she ignores me too much sometimes I will bite one of the keys off. Then she picks me up. If I want her attention really fast, I just poop on her shoulder and wow.... she picks me up even faster. I love that.

Well.... I guess that is all for now. Did you guess who my best friend is? Yup.... my Mom. (and I even know how to say Mommy.... she deserves it)

Have a great day!!!

You are so lucky you have a great mom. My mom is a Monkey Breath and only does what I want when I have a temper tantrum. Can I come and live with you?

Clyde's typing is appalling so he asked me to tell you that you're doing a marvelous job training your mom, but you really should bite her more often. Clyde is a big believer in correcting trainees with regular chomps. He says the earlobe is a very good place to bite because it makes his mommy yell "ow," and that's very entertaining.

Hi Oscar, Happy 6th Hatchday for next week! Now's the time to 'step up' to the next level of training your mom. Clyde's right, what's with the lack of biting (except for Dad)? :-SYou need to fine-tune that and I'd recommend a bit more poop, particularly on all the stuff in the cupboards, next time you are in there. Otherwise, great job, pardner!

Unfortunately, I do bite once in a while however, it really isn't my fault. Like the other day we were sitting on the couch and I thought for sure my Mom's hand was a monster, so I ran over as fast as I could and bit it everywhere. Then there was some red stuff running all over and I thought the monster was attacking me so I kept on chopping. Good thing Mom showed up and assured me everything was okay. She put me on my cage but for some reason I had to stay away from Mom for the rest of the day. Geezzz.... all I did was get the monster away.

I sure hope this monster stays away for a while but it seems every now and then it returns and I must protect my partner. lol lol

I always bite Dad cause he talks to Mom and sometimes gets very close to her lips. Those are my lips and he better stay away! If Mom asks me to sit on his shoulder, I will go alright.... go right over to his neck and find a place to chomp. If that doesn't work.... lots of poop will get me moved away from him.

Ralph says "Hey! That sounds just like me!" And he has some advice for Oscar: "It's really fun to pull clean spoons out of the dishwasher and drop them on the floor so they'll need to be washed again. Try it sometime."

Happy 6th Hatchday to you, Oscar!

Happy upcoming Birdthday, Oscar!

It's fun to write things in our birds' voices, but on a serious note, I think it's a really good exercise. Even if you do it tongue-in-cheek, it helps to try to view things through their eyes. You can't be sure how right or wrong you get it, but empathy is a good thing.

Hi Oscar, I have a boyfriend who lives in the bathroom mirror. He's very handsome and I do my best wolf whistles for him, but I try not to stare too much in case he thinks I'm easy.
