Afternoon mischief

As soon as we get home in the afternoon, we try to let Marco out of his cage for some free time. Unfortunately, he immediately looks for trouble. Usually it starts with him flying over to the computer and walking across the keyboard. He did that just now and I shooed him away. So he pranced over to where we keep some fish food and started trying to bust into the bag. Brat!


When I shooed him away from that, he flew into one of the bedrooms and spent some time hanging out on the bed. He refused to step up on my hand when I tried to make him come to me. You can't leave him unattended (unless you want to return to a disaster scene) so I finally had to grab him and make him go back to his cage. I took another picture first.

He doesn't care what you think.
Life with a parrot can be a lot of fun, but it can also be a real pain in the a** sometimes!

You could write a book just on his escapes. These posts are hilarious!

What a fine looking parrot, can't imagine the adventure he's had and seeking to have still. Greetings!

He is a beautiful bird.

Martha said...

HAHA! These posts are fun. Marco is adorable.

He may be naughty but he is the most beautiful parrot.

cheers, parsnip

And he looks so innocent. I hear there are now huge wild flocks of green Parrots in the UK (Parakeets, maybe?). Someone must have let a few go, and they bred like crazy.

Sue said...

He is such a character! Does he get on okay with the dogs?

Marco is a bird who knows what he wants to do and he does it. And he is a beautiful green colour.

I wish you could have entered that first photo in the lower shopper photo class, it would have won

What a beauty he is!

Steve Reed said...

He is certainly a pretty parrot, even if he is a pain!

Yorkshire Pudding said...

Phew! That's a relief! The title of this blogpost led me to suppose that the two characters in the tale would be you and Gregg - not you and Marco!

Birdie said...

That was supposed to be escapades.

Janie Junebug said...

Marco, you are so pretty, but what a naughty boy you are. Give your mom a break.

Love,
Janie

Jennifer said...

He tries to escape. I'm sure he's plotting right now!

Jennifer said...

He is named after a great explorer! :)

Jennifer said...

He really is. And a lot of the time, he's sweet. Just full of mischief.

Jennifer said...

I could post about his escapades daily if I wanted to! :)

Jennifer said...

He's a little deviled egg. :)

Jennifer said...

That happens all over the world.

Jennifer said...

He's fascinated by the dogs and will call them both by name. Ginger and George ignore him for the most part. We dare not let him out of his cage if the dogs are in the house, though. It would be too easy for something bad to happen.

Jennifer said...

You got that right! He knows his own mind! Hahaha.

Jennifer said...

I love that photo, too. He looks so innocent, peeking over the edge.

Jennifer said...

Thank you!

Jennifer said...

He's also a scrappy little man!

Jennifer said...

I KNEW you would say that! I knew it when I decided on the title. Thanks for not letting me down! Lol!

Jennifer said...

Not a chance!

Yorkshire Pudding said...

Did you also know I would say this?....
A ch'im un pinnara, i kangsan ungum e,
Chawon do kaduk han samch'olli,
Arumdaun nae choguk,
Panmannyon oraen ryoksa
E ch'allan han munhwa ro charanan
Sulgiroun inmin ui i yonggwang.
Mom gwa mam ta pach'yo,
I, choson kiri pattuse.

Jennifer said...

Weirdo. Haha!

It's the first verse of the national anthem of North Korea - written phonetically.

Why, thank you, Gregg! And I love your name. :)

What a handsome emerald green head on Marco, he looks so cute in that first photo peeking at the bag. The caption would be "feed me."
