So was that a confirmed gull's ass or maybe a Caspian Turn's ass?

Boy Birder Bob



Unconfirmed! I could have waken "Zeke" up from under the keyboard, where
the old sop is sleeping between my legs dreaming about some "chick" or
other at the moment because he keeps kicking the bottom of the keyboard
tray. Zeke is a yellow naped Amazon, about 20 years old. I've had him
since I owned a parrot and small animal shop back in the 80's. But, he
didn't see the bird on the screen from under there in the dark.

Asleep in his hovel is "Roger-Roger", of radio fame, my Blue and Gold
macaw I hand raised from a 6-day-old chick about 15 years ago. RR likes
his evenings to himself, with one foot attached to his favorite toy chain
tucked under his starboard wing...which is his favorite sleeping
position. Roger-Roger is the product of 6 years of potty training, an
experiment on my part. Parrots can learn about anything short of
assembler programming, but roller skating around the kitchen can't hold a
candle to a parrot that doesn't poop on you...(c; Hold him over a
trashcan and say, "do your business"...he'll lean back, take aim, hit the
release switches and then yells, "BOMBS AWAY!", VERY loud as only a macaw
can do...to the delight of anyone in range...(c; When a stranger
approaches he's not convinced is an easy touch for a treat, he says, "Oh-
Oh....Now what?!", causing the most stoic old goat to crack.

I love my birds, too......spoilt rotten!

All I saw in the cam was feathers...(c;
