Squawk squawk squawk! It's Squawkwers the Macaw!
He dances, he sings and says "Pretty bird"
He can say whatever you tell him to say, even naughty words!
This is a a "fur real" toy the BF got me for my Birthday. It's pretty cool, he squawks, eats, makes fart noises, sings and dances. It's pretty amazing how animated it is. Hannah is pretty cautious about the new arrival and Bubba just took his plastic cracker and lost all interest when he discovered the new bird didn't have anything edible and Bill was delighted to have someone else to make fart noises with and greeted Squawkers with a multitude of bows and farts.

Well, I gotta say I am one lucky lady to have such a cool and boyfriend. Tonight were are going to dinner at the Tillicum Village on Blake island to see the Indian dancing show AND there is a trip coming up this spring in April. London? Las Vegas? no somehwere completely different his time!! Yeah I know I was shocked too!
We are going for a week to the Queen Charlotte Islands in Canada. We'll drive to Vancouver and then take a small plane to the islands. It's the Haida Gaii indian area where there are lots of totem poles and local indian artists. We're also taking a small seaplane to a an island called Ninstints where is is a a nationally protected historic site and only so many people are allowed on the island with a guide at a time. The worlds oldest orignal totem poles are there. Some of these islands have a local population of under 300 people. There are lots of beaces, hiking and several old shipwrecks on the beach you can explore. It should be a an awesome trip and I can't wait.

That sounds like a wonderful vacation you have planned. Let me know when you need a pet-sitter. I can't wait to teach your new bird a phrase or two.... I bet it knows a few already, like "Kromski"!
