I hear that. I need a raise.

I hear that. I need a raise.

You would just spend it on fish...LOL.

 

[Sniperhank]

I think we both would.

That shrimp didn't go on the barbie. It went in the reef tank. Sorry, couldn't help that.

I work to feed my family, then feed my hobbies. But I am trying to get in a position to trade corals for supplies and new acquisitions. The capitalist in me always wants to figure out a way not to spend $$$. But heaven help us, the big tanks are wonderful.

I think we may need an update or some pics soon Greg! I never get tired of seeing that magnificent tank.

 

[Gregcoyote]

Will do. Thanks!
Here's a picture of my 25 year old MaCaw, Simon. He's not a fish, but he is colorful.

Sweet Macaw! 25, does that make him still a youngster? Thought they lived 70 or 80 years or so.

 

[Gregcoyote]

Yes they do. He will look just like this when they bury me. It's odd living your entire life with a pet that shows no sign of aging over the decades..

He is absolutely gorgeous!!

 

[Gregcoyote]

He said thank you...no really, he said thank you.

Aww. You're welcome, handsome! They're so smart! I love them! There is a pet store here that has one that lives in the store (personally I don't think they take very good care of him, but that's just me) and he's so funny. If you're not careful, he will follow you into the bathroom. Lol.

ugh...birds! So messy and noisy!....and BITEY!
They are best brined.

 

[Gregcoyote]

I do my best to talk people out of them. Most don't live their lives very long with their families. These birds bond for life, so it is a pretty staggering responsibility raising one. I was much younger when I got him and was not seeing the long term part of the affair. He is like having a kid that never grows up. Extremely smart. And loud on a level that is biblical.

You know you don't like him because he thinks he's smarter than you. He did tell me he thought he was more civilized because he didn't want to eat you.

 

[mr_X]

Lol....He's a rare bird, because most of them do want to eat me.....or at least my fingers!
Tell him I'm sorry for stereotyping him

 

[Keithhjs]

I bet. I've had several types of birds before, never a Macaw but an African Grey, Cockatiels, and Parakeet and the one thing I don't miss is the noise lol. I wold love to get another bird by at this stage of my life I would end up willing it to my son. Maybe another shorter lived one, though. Nice to see yours is do well taken care of, and the fact he narrates your videos is a bonus too hehe.

Don't misunderstand me. He would bite the crazy glue out of you, he just wouldn't serve you with wine .
