Fostering

Its a few weeks since the unclaimed african grey was found in Huddersfield that inspired me to foster found parrots, i went over and filled in the foster form, they have just rung me to tell me they will do a home check next saturday, the parrot that was found was never returned home but one of the staff has fallen in love with him and adopted him despite his potty mouth!

Debbie, do you have any info on the people you contacted for that?

Ring the RSPCA or any other organisation/vets that take in found parrots, the downside to it is that they may have diseases not known at the time or their language could be a bit strong for our new babies to learn!

when do you get to start deb?

Having my house check next saturday, if all goes well i should be able to get the next one that comes in, could be months though yet.

oh, i thought the check was already done...i'm excited for you!

Thanks Nancy! The only thing that concerns me is any illness that they may have and potty mouths, Bella is susceptible to rude words, thought she had done well not picking Shadows up til a month after he had gone when i suddenly heard "knobhead what ya doing" come out of her, it seems to be the favourite word now.

lol, i just think its too funny...that word, knobhead, is a bad word?...i've never heard it said here, and don't think it sounds too bad, lol ...i'm learning, hehehe...but yes, i can understand your concern, but i'd bet your too beyond that to let a little potty words get into your way anyways

go girl go

I dont mind a bit of it, its just the ones that are trained to swear all the time that concern me, im quite often at home when someone rings to arrange a funeral so the last thing i want them to hear is the f word constantly!

yeah, that wouldn't be good...still think its kinda funny though, but prolly only because its not me!

It does actually lighten the situation for the clients when they hear them chattering away in the background and they always ask about them when i go and visit them later!

yes, i would think it cheers them up some...cjs has a potty mouth, sings the chorus of the bloodhound gangs firewater burn song
