My story in honor of the giveaway




I was at work yesterday and during the course of the day I had told several of my coworkers a story about my Booker those of you that have read my blog probable know who Booker is and the rest of you that’s fine. Booker is my newest furbaby, she is an African Gray parrot and before she lived with us she learned some colorful words. Anyway everyone that heard the story thought it was so funny so I realized I should share it with you in honor of my STORY GIVEAWAY I hope it inspires some of you to tell your stories. So here it goes.

Booker is a very vocal bird but she is most vocal when I am in the room alone with her. Her favorite is when I am on the computer because it is right next to her cage. So every time I get on the computer and my husband is not in the room she sits on the top of her cage and squawks at me. At some point she always gets excited and starts making high pitched and really loud sounds to which I tell her “Be quite Booker” to which she tells me “meow” I reply to her “it’s not the cat Booker it’s you” she relies to me “bark” at this point I want to laugh so bad but I know it is like a child and I can’t cave in so I once again tell her “Booker it’s not the dogs it’s you be quite” and she is so smart her next response it to make the sounds that she makes when she is mimicking the humans its kind of a wha wha wha like they used in Charlie Brown for the adults. I loved The Simpsons when I was younger and the great thing about that show is that there is an episode for almost everything. I remember this one about there dog and how he was doing bad thing and they wanted to train him at first all the dog hear was the wha wha wha . At the end though the dog heard wha wha wha sit and wha wha wha stay. Booker is like that dog where as she knows the words she hears a lot so in Bookers case is it is wha wha wha Booker and wha wha wha F#%$@*. For the record she already knew that word before she moved in.


I hope this has inspired you an maybe given you some ideas of something to share and thank you so much for reading my stories and sharing in my life.

Booker and all she has learned at my house

This is Booker. We got her about 2 months ago when on Friday at work I stumbled across an ad in Craigslist that said “African Gray with a fowl mouth (Actually quite funny)” and I was in love. The next day I started working on the husband see after the surprise of Annie I had to promise no more animals (little did he know I had my fingers crossed behind my back) it took me about an hour and I was on the phone with the breeder. When the breeder arrived at our house to deliver my baby he explained booker was a bird he had already sold to a lady that had teen age sons and they taught her lots of interesting thing to say. Mostly she dropped the f bomb. Since she has come to our house she has picked up every bad habit my husband and son have. Now keep in mind my son is 16 and my husband works in construction so she has learned a lot of bad habits. Her newest one is to make loogie and fart sounds. She also burps but I must admit I think she got that one from me. Well we have had her for 2 months so I guess we will see what she learns in the next 2 months I can’t wait.
