Merry Christmas to everyone here, thank you for the countless hours of joy you have given me while reading your posts, everything from "Damn!" to a poignant personal story, to everything in between.
If I were Elvis, I would order new Cadillacs for you.

Alas, I am not.

I think that is a beautiful Christmas card picture, Joey!

Thanks Melissa! Do you think Hallmark would want to use it? LOL
...I should make Christmas cards from that pic!

That pic of your cockatoo is great Brian. As friendly and tame as my 3 parrots are, the Santa costume wouldn't "fly" with any of them.

Joey,

Although she is 9 years old we have only had Peaches (our cockatoo) for just over a year. As you can see loves to wear her Santa hat and scarf. She will wear that get up for hours. She's quite a character. She also loves to play with our dogs on the floor playing fetch with a small ball. They all get along famously.

Oh and before I forget she loves the sound of my 360/12. She sings along with it. Not in key but she tries awful hard.

A cockatoo that loves the sound of a Ric. Now that's a bird with good taste.

Right around Christmas day, my blue fronted amazon parrot will be 22 years old. I have him since he is 8 weeks old. He trys to sing along with any music. My senegal parrot and green cheek conure supply the effects to music.
I don't let my parrots near my basses. to them anything made of wood is a chew toy.

Then there are also hundreds of parrots that fly around my neighborhood.

Joey, I agree with Melissa. That would make an excellent Christmas card.
Man, a 22 year old parrot. That's cool, I wish dogs lived that long.

Merry Christmas everyone from me and my mob.
Brian if Peaches is a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo expect him to live to 100. Sorry, I don't have the plugin, if "she" talks(?) she's a he...

Gerry,

Peaches does not talk. That is the only disappointing thing about her. Yep she is supposed to live between 60 and 100 years. One of my sons will have to take her after we are gone.
Winston Churchills parrot BTW is still alive. I understand that he has a particularly foul vocabulary. No pun intended.

Bob, I wish dogs lived alot longer too. My 22 year old parrot is still youngster, he can live at least 65 years.

Great news, Brian. You'll all have a very special Christmas now!!

Erik, although my green cheek conure is very affectionate, she does like to play rough with her beak sometimes. She never bites hard enough to draw blood. That type of behavior is typical for a green cheek conure.
