Not what I expected when the wife called me...

[hagis]

I always worry when my missus calls me when she's left work. I fear the worst - her car has been broken into or stolen or the tunnels are jammed and I'm going to have a 2 hour journey home.

Surprised was an understatement when she rang me to say she had found a budgie outside of work and wanted to know what to do with it. I advised her to get a box and bring it home and I'd see about getting a cage.

Quite how a budgie came to be wandering about on the pavement in Liverpool city centre I've no idea, I guess it had escaped from somewhere. It survived an hour or so in a cardboard box and is now safely housed in an old cage a friend had in his shed. It looks a bit scruffy but seems to have settled in well. Assuming it makes it through the night I imagine it will be fine.

Your wife has just kidnapped a tourist on a visit to the capital of culture..........

They say that 3 million visitors have come so far... no-one said they were all human ;)

He was fine this morning when I got up though I'm not sure if he's eating / drinking. Still, he's got all day to himself in peace to get used to the cage and find everything so hopefully he'll be okay when I get home tonight.

Was it going cheap.....








I'll get my coat :outtahere

[hagis]

I don't know, I didn't see the bill...


Get mine while you're over there, will you? :)

Grilling or Frying?? Pie might work well

[BDT]

He's probably thinking "If i ever get out of this, its the last time I visit Liverpool, I get birdnapped, and held against my will in steel cage"

:biglaugh:

Can't imagine there'd be enough meat on it for a pie?! Maybe a little one, like a pork pie sort of size. Budgie Buffet Pies - could catch on!

[Dudey Head]

My mum's cousin used to have a budgie that was a **** head! It'd land on the edge of your wine/beer glass (it wasn't bothered which!) & try & have a sup! A splendid little creature!
On a completely different scale of creature Fred's a **** head as well, he licks wine bottles that are awaiting recycling & tries to get his head in my beer! Don't fancy a drunken Dobermann running around knocking everything flying though so his boozy inclinations are curbed! :D

[hagis]

I believe that budgerigar means "good to eat" in one of the Aborigian languages. I doubt it, there isn't much meat on them.

The budgie in question is doing well, he settled in to the house well and is doing fine.

[Dudey Head]

Have you given him a name? Does he know any words?

[hagis]

We've called him "Petie", anyone guess the film?

No words yet, I think he's a young one, I intend to teach him a few choice words if the wife doesn't catch me...

Animals capable of profanities! Ace. I wish I could teach ma dawgs to swear, that'd be cool! No more barking when there's a knock at the door, just very loud swearing! Should get rid of salesfolk & bible bashers pretty damned quick! :D

BOLOX! You have to get him to learn the word BOLOX! :)

Along with all other tremendously inappropriate things people shouldn't hear when they come to visit! You could just say he knew them when you got him! :)

Just train them to growl very loudly and if they can be seen, bare their teeth! :1zhelp:

I was thinking of the Harry Enfield Dr Doolittle sketch ("Now say bolox..." and the Fast Shopw sketch where unlucky Alf buys a parrot that swears like a trooper.
