Oh, not all parrots, by any means -- just the ones that have been "ticked on" (i.e., aren't "ticked off"), and mostly certain ex-Norwegian Blues that "wouldn't VOOM if you put 40,000 volts through 'em" ... :wink: :nudge: :saynomore:

I really don't get why ther's ban on polly ticks here...if my parrot has fleas, I jes don't understand why I cain't talk about it.

I done reckon that this here forum'd be a great place to discuss flea removal techniques.

Someone please splain to me why parrots are forbidden here.

Thanks...

I'm going to attempt to guess the reason or reasons for the above. We shouldn't find it at all difficult to understand why polly ticks should be band. We are tuba and euph players. Many of us play in bands. Besides that, polly usually wants a cracker. Now we should be very careful mentioning that. Doc is usually very quick to show us one of those very tasteless pictures of a part of the human anatomy. This could lead to some of our more sensitive members getting ticked off.

When we consider all of this, it is very logical to understand why Sean has band polly ticks.
:lol: :wink: :oops:

There's nothing so odd about that: Kemal Ataturk had an entire menagerie called Abdul!

The man from the cat detector van didn't have the right form.

"Housinge"! It was spelt like that on the van. I'm very observant!. I never seen so many bleeding aerials. The man said that their equipment could pinpoint a purr at four hundred yards! And Eric, being such a happy cat, was a piece of cake!
