Where all the bird news comes to roost!
In the latest chronicle of Morty’s advice to fans seeking his sage advice, Chiyome and mates (of Twitter’s Flock Is Family) learn that there may be one sure-fire way of getting their ‘Phone Lady’ to put down her annoying (tech) appendage and pay more attention to them!
If this issue seems all too familiar to you too then you need to go to our Beneath The Cage Grate page and read Morty’s full reply to Chiyome and flock. Get ready to raise your roof and get the attention you deserve!
Greetings to all my favorite parrot friends! Alexa is in a mood after she rolled under the couch. She blames me for her clumsiness! Good help is hard to find these days!
Recently, I received an interesting letter from a parrot owner.
Dear Morty,
I live in a three bedroom home and have ten parrots. I work 12 hour shifts and when I get home I am too tired to clean. It seems like every bird has the habit of throwing their fruit, veggies, seed, and pellets on the floor! When I go into their room at night, it is a filthy mess. I cant even get near their cages! Is there anything on the market that could help me? PLEASE DON’T TELL ME TO GET A VACUUM CLEANER! I have three. I am looking for a piece of industrial equipment. Price is not a problem.
Messy House

Morty is challenged to adequately respond to a letter from a stressed-out parront who’s trying desperately to keep up with the mess caused by their determined food-flinging flock!

Oh we also taught her patience… LOTS of patience.
Caspar von Sader – @MutinusTitinusJust over a year ago we lost two beautiful souls, Alice (Warden) and her beautiful Amazon Penne. The Roost thanks our close online flock, and especially Coco the Parrot, for forwarding so many wonderful pics to share with everyone in honour and remembrance of a lady and her birdie, both of whom brought much love, joy, silliness, and laughter to many, many lives.
Alice and Penne, you are missed so very much. Your candle will continue to burn bright in all of us forever and for always.
A rose, from Coco, to remember Alice.
If it weren’t for Alice and Penne, many of us (affectionately known as ‘Anipals’) would likely have never connected, so thank you Alice and Penne for bringing us all under your wing and into your loving embrace.
Here’s to you Penne and Warden, love you, always.
The silly and saucy side of Alice and Penne!
Penne, you are so loved, and so missed by your best friend Coco.
Head on over to News on the Wing to read some interesting tweets and articles about birds that we’ve gathered over the last few weeks.
Morty solicits Alexa’s help to purchase what he thought would be a lovely playpen he could enjoy on his back deck. Well, let’s just say that what the UPS man delivered wasn’t what Morty had ordered… or planned.
Read Morty’s latest adventure here – and be prepared for ‘some assembly required’!
In the wild, birds instinctively play, finding fun and amusement in their natural environment. Our companion feathered friends don’t have to seek out wild fun since we humans provide for all their needs.
So, what do birdies do with their pent up energy? Read Sherri’s full article here to learn how Zack and Bubbles devise fun games to keep themselves amused and, most importantly, keep their parronts on their toes!
Goodness knows what Morty is up to this time. Stay tuned for our mid-July issue of The Roost to find out!
