This is Paco........ in our house we tell him that he lives in a $200 condo and he should be glad we bought it for him and tolerate him when he gets noisy.
On different occasions Bud has told him that he would look good with a apple stuck in his mouth and wants to know if we should bake him....or if we should call 1-800 adopt a bird. (All in fun---
If he gets too noisy we simply cover him with his Orange tablecloth blanket that is fastened to his new cage.
No this is not the new cage, but the only photo I could find of him this morning on my computer here at work.
Last night when I got home from work....Bud was sitting at the table on the computer. The minute I came in he informed me that I needed to strip and change clothes into something much lighter then I was wearing....AS SOMEONE (pointing the finger at me) had not turned the air conditioner on when I left for work and that it was 104 degrees in the trailer when he got home a few moments ago.....
Told me poor Paco was sitting at the front of the cage (not to the back when he goes when the air is on and he is cold), BUT WAY UP FRONT WITH HIS WINGS SPREAD...JUST SITTING AS THO HE WAS MELTING OR BAKING.
Poor little guy didn't know what to think....Mamma didn't mean to leave the a/c off... Just forgot to turn it back on and set it at 80 degrees so that would be the highest the temp would get inside.
So now the air conditioner is back on and in a very short time you will think we are trying to freeze you out.
Here are some of the things I would miss if you were not with us:
Your sayings: (Let me see if I can remember them all)
"Morning" you tell me every morning when I get up.
"Night" The minute I turn off all the lights and head for bed.
"Pop corn" Any snack that you get.... be it popcorn, sun flower seeds, pretzels, or your favorite cheese its.
"Mamma.".... Tho you don't know the difference between Mamma and Daddy yet.
"Paco Pretty Boy"
"I know"
"I'll be good"
"Gotta be quiet"
"Awe, ah"
And yes, I would miss your foot fetish...(When I sit on the couch and my foot is by his cage he will come down to the bottom and sing to it). It is always the same song. Wish I knew what he was singing.
Your whistling like a cardinal.
Your whistling Yankee doodle and then incorporating "Dashing thru the snow" with it.
Your whistling like Janet's telephone.
I probably missed a few things that you do to amuze us. Or mimic when you hear and see things. You are afraid of the blue straw....I think you think it is a snake. At first you would run to the back now you try to attack it.
Yes, buddy I would miss you so I am glad that you are okay. Even if Mamma didn't turn the air conditioner on and you thought it was extremely hot in there.

Glad Paco survived! I'm sure he will forgive you (:>)
I just don't do well in the heat...so 104 would do me in. Guess he's a pretty strong little fella.
That must be fun that he can talk to you...those are some funny things that he says. Did you teach him all of them...or could he talk when you got him?
Ha! I can picture Paco all with his wings spread out. Glad he is okay. I bet that is neat to hear him say all of those things. I am laughing because I met my husband in spanish class and we all had to go by spanish names and his was Paco and so for the longest time, I just knew him as Paco and didn't even really know his real name. LOL!
