I advise extreme caution. Look after this feathered fellow as he could provide a buffer for peace. GREY LIVES MATTER

In these strange days mate, firstly, you need to address you pet as an "African bird of colour"...

Sorry, I mean "African feathered friend of colour"...

Oops, sorry I meant " Indigenous feathered

feathered.. you big fascist, invoking ire of the non-feathered community so long trodden..

Back to the grey, they mimic, so he might just be mirroring the heat shall we say. My mate kept telling his to shut up, and it didn’t like him much. Not saying that applies like..

My mate had one BUT his was ever so slightly annoying

On the hour, every 15 minutes it would stare at the bus stop behind and say ...

"Bus has gone, bus has gone".

Haha

I like it

I just went to the kitchen

I could swear he called me a "dickhead,"


I thought, how does he know that already

Takes people longer normally to realise that about me haha

Maybe if it wasn't crammed into a cage and it could use it's wings as they were designed, it would be happy!... just a thought.

Thank you for your insight

I have had birds for many years and never "crammed them into a cage" as you allude to

They are free to come and go, there cage is there place for food, rest and to feel safe

As you care deeply for animals, do I detect your a vegetarian?

If not, you are a little hypocritical dear

And if you are a non animal eater, well done to you, your a martyr to the cause :clap:

So it's racist to say red now Mr Foghorn, why can't we get over this red based slavery/racism past that ginger put them through, and accept red needs to be equal these days to

We need to accept

"Red lives matter to" not just ginger or blond.

And I find the term ginger extremely racist, educate yourself on the difficulties ,"red faced," people faced just before Eve and Adam were born.

Back in 12AD

My great aunts, sisters, nephews, fathers, brothers cat was ginger

And they worked him like a dog

He still barks about it in anger today,

Yes, I know

I shall get my coat haha
