For me, it's when I do the cat call and I'm talking to the birds, not my hubby!

That is funny!

This is a great thread..... I have dishes all over the kitchen from my birdie beans' cooking spree today and just had toast for my own dinner.... think I may be a fid slave as well (just discovered the budgies love them as much as do the IRN and tiels)

This is soooo true!!! I forgot about that one! We have 4 remotes on the coffee table and they are all upside down. Our cordless phone has several chunks taken out of the buttons too!

This is such a great thread.

You might be a cockatiel slave if you receive a refund for something and the first thing you think about is how many toys you can buy with that money. (Forget the clothes shopping trips!)

YEAH!!! Isn't that crazy?!?!?! My birthday is coming up and I'll probably get some cash from hubby cuz he's not good a gift buying........so guess who gets presents for MY birthday!!! You got it!! ALL the birds!

LOL glad you guys are enjoying this as much as I am

You might be a slave to a Cockatiel if you put your hot plate of food down to hand feed your bird first and eat your dinner cold .

You might be a slave to a cockatiel if your birdie gets more mail orders delivered to your house than you do.

You might be a slave to a cockatiel if when you talk to your friends your baby always comes up .

That is a good one rosie! the one where your bird gets more mail orders delivered to your house! That is definitely the case here!
Oh, and gloria----the money I used for woody and boss's vet appt was money saved that I had gotten for my birthday back in march! I decided right then that I wanted to use it to take my birds to the vet. Woody had never been and boss was new to us so I just thought it would be a good idea and a good time to take them.

Oh my gosh...the mail delivery thing is hilarious!!! I need to change the address to Casper instead of Lisa!!!!

You might be a slave to your cockatiel if you are eating breakfast with a bird on your shoulder. One hand feeds the tiel her piece of bagel, the other feeds me!!!!!

It is so true huh! Lucky little ones!!

They aren't spoiled, are they?

They are. But like my Mom & I are always saying "Rosie's such a good little girl she deserves it" and it's funny cuz my Mom & I were out to breakfast one day and we were talking and I was all "Should we go to petsmart after this?" and my mom said "To buy Rosie some toys yeah". they give you so much love and so much happiness you just want to do every little thing you can for them.

You KNOW you are a slave to a cockatiel when you have to run the vacuum cleaner on the countertop to clean up the cheerios crumbs from their "snack".

You KNOW you are a slave to a cockatiel when you have more food for them in the refrig than you have food, and it's fresher

somebody needs to compile all these and put in book form..
