It's fucked, but yes, comes with the responsibility of owning pets. We have had a few, had to put down a big rottweiler years ago, Benson, which was difficult too. Same reason as your two. The big dogs struggle at the back end. Seems you have a zoo, but the good thing is those parrots will be able to attend your funeral, take care of the arrangements for you. Bloody loud buggers too right?
Thanks for your message man, much appreciated.

The Grey (Max) is older than the Macaw (Mango) and is less loud. The only problem with Mango is he swears too much and when visitors come we have to cover him up especially if there are kids around. The grey mimics sounds better like bottle caps and burping and always has good timing.
Lol, it sounds like Mango is my kinda bird. I swear too (although not inappropriately.) OK, bugger it, sometimes I do. Lol. (You don't want Mango reading your eulogy then.)
My wife's grandfather had one that hated one of her uncles. The poor thing would lose its mind when he walked past, start swearing and yelling get out! Lol.
They are characters and pick and choose who they like. A friend of mine has a bird park where he looks after endangered species for various countries in Africa.He breeds parrots as well and where I got her from.She wasn't my first choice as I had another one on my shoulder at the time and my kids chose her as she had blood on her foot. I need to get back there at some point as this is a private park and there is months of posts just there. The birds even have wild strawberries growing on the base of their enclosures and a fine mist is pumped from the river keeping them cool during the day.
Oh that sounds really interesting! It would be cool to see more about that. If it's not far it might be worth a trip! I think there's be some cool posts to come of it.
As there will be once the F1 season starts...I'm counting the seconds. 😂
Only an hour or so away so just down the road really. Have to wait for lock down to be over as I couldn't explain that one to the police as it is in the middle of nowhere along the Vaal river. the last time I was there he had all different birds from the National Park Boards in Africa a bit like Noahs Ark two of each. This way they have a back up plan if anything goes wrong. Seriously wealthy guy and this is just a hobby for him and a passion. Not open to the public yet it must take a couple of hours to walk around.
Not long now and I am also looking forward to it as I have no clue who has the better car this year. I hear Racing Point and Red Bull are quick but we will have to wait and see. Mercedes must still be favorites and something tells me Ferrari don't have things quite right. I think Vettel may have been vocal with his disappointment towards the team and the car and why they said it was time for him to go. Prost did something similar, but that was more public and was let go as well.
It will be a good day trip when restrictions lift and you're able to move about. It sounds like there will be loads of interesting stuff to blog about.
I'm keen for the season to start. It will interesting to see how the teams go, who is fast, reliable. Mercedes will be there of course. I'd like to see McLaren fast too as it will bode well for RIC next year. 😁
I don't think it really matters for McLaren and Riccardo right now as next season they have the Mercedes engine. This will change things drastically and Riccardo will be competing properly again. I think this is why it will be interesting to see what Racing Point do this year as they are a silver arrow clone. It looks like some of the body parts have been handed over with the engine deal. I don't rate their drivers though so it may not make much difference.
