I Do Things Here, Too
Ha ha ha! That look says it all! JD trying to look relaxed whilst surrounded by pecky things ha ha!
Babs – beetle’s last blog post..I have Not Been Tagged – Maybe I have.
You look *exactly* like your mother. That’s your mother, right? Don’t tell me you’re adopted. You look just like her.
Except for the freaked out look on your face.
cardiogirl’s last blog post..I suppose Elaine and I were more alike than I realized
When I was in hawaii with the band, there was a guy that did this to us too! Unfortunately we didn’t get a photo. Way to be wordless…
Sarah’s last blog post..Send Home Shock
I hope they didn’t poo on you!!
What I want to know is how you got to hold them like babies. BABIES! Are they trained? The look on your face is priceless. And your mom’s a real trooper. Where exactly was this picture taken?
Kathy’s last blog post..This Will Be Me in 40 Years
JD, you are a brave woman indeed! I am absolutely terrified of birds–thank you SO much for being surrounded by them so I don’t have to be. (Shudder.)
What a very interesting picture… I would never go that close to a bird. But, that’s really the bird would never et close to ME. When I was at the beach, and trying to take pictures of seagulls, they… kept… running… away…
I’m so glad you’re wordless. I found it extremely difficult to play that game.
Great photo!!
Meg’s last blog post..Stalking Once Removed
I think it would be safer for you to squinch your eyes tightly shut. Just in case they try to peck your eyes!
Daisy the Curly Cat’s last blog post..My Best Olympic Event!
Babs: Pecky things! I hate ‘em! That was probably about the 12th picture the photographer took. Yikes!
cardiogirl: Y’know a LOT of people say we look alike, but if you saw a picture of me and my dad, you’d see that we are identical. And I may have a freaked out look, but check out my mom’s expression. She craz-ay!
Sarah: “did this to us”: HA! Yeah, that’s kind of how I felt, too. I felt like I needed to be wordless after that long colonoscopy post.
No, thank god! Can you imagine? I’d have had to burn my clothes. And hair!
Kathy: I know! BABIES! Yeah, they were trained. The guy kept yelling at me to relax my grip on the baby one, saying he knew what to do and would just sort of relax. This was in Vegas 2006 at our hotel.
My mom fell right on the steps going up to the photo area, so they gave us a freebie.
And the photographer kept yelling at me not to “look like that.”
Stephanie in KY: I’m scared of birds, too (can you tell?) I did NOT like them, even if they were colorful and pretty. Do you see that one nibbling on my mom’s hair???
Regan: I think humans and birds have a pretty good arrangement: stay out of each other’s way.
Meg: This is my first one! After my incredibly wordy previous post, I thought everyone deserved a break.
The expressions on your faces are priceless – no words needed!
Luxor’s last blog post..One Word Wednesday
I don’t like being perched on by creatures with no sphincter. But that’s just me.
Shieldmaiden96’s last blog post..Downstate
I’m glad you hung out with such colorful birds… so I don’t have to! You’re so sweet!
jennyonthespot’s last blog post..I love me my music…
I used to be able to hold my dove like that. I should spend more time training the current one…
So, you’re one of those people that are afraid of our feathered friends?
dcr’s last blog post..Wordless Wednesday: U Haz Sumthing 4 Me, or Chihuahua Puppy Eagerly Awaits Any Accidental or Intentional Dropping of Tasty Food in Her General Vicinity
Not exactly how you stayed so calm. I certainly would have been in hysterics before they even got one bird on me.
The look on your face is so priceless.
Monique’s last blog post..I’m Just Going To Delete My Blog and Not Tell Anyone
Wow! That is just freakin’ awesome!
JT’s last blog post..Construction hell and paper trails
yikes! too. many. sharp. objects.
Chat Blanc’s last blog post..Delusions
Birds of a feather…
Cathouse Teri’s last blog post..Nice Guys Finish Last?
Daisy the Curly Cat: You’re so smart. I should’ve kept my eyes SHUT instead of opening them so wide. Birds can be very dangerous.
Luxor: Right! I thought so too!
Shieldmaiden96: WHAT? Birds don’t have sphincters? Well, that explains a lot. These birds were trained to . . . um, act like they had sphincters, I guess.
jennyonthespot: Aw, you’re welcome! They are pretty, aren’t they? Pretty and deadly.
dcr: Oooh, you have a trainable dove??? Have you ever posted pictures? My cat’s girlfriend is a dove (long story). And yes. I am not a big fan of the bird species. And they don’t like me much, either.
Monique: We had watched other people do it for a while, so I could see that the birds were not in attack mode. Rather, they seemed sedated. I was still a bit nervous. A lot nervous.
JT: YESSS!
Chat Blanc: Those beaks are rather pointy, aren’t they? Can you see the one nibbling on my mom’s hair? WRONG!
Love the pic JD! Your expression is priceless!
Also – I’m having severe apathy towards writing so I figure I’d make you live up to your blog name.
Write my blog so I don’t have to. Please?
Alice’s last blog post..Middle Finger Moments in Africa
I had to do this as a child with my niece…and then we had to let them kiss us on the nose!! I still have emotional scars because of the black tongued parrot kiss! I hate pet birds and they hate me too, I know all about the sphincter-less variety.
(
Not only are you wordless, but you have a freaking bird on your shoulder!!! Dance JD, dance! I would so be running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I don’t do ANYTHING with wings. lol.
Natural’s last blog post..Are You Feeling Guilty Over Something?
Your face is priceless, and I’m notably impressed that you were able to fake even a half-smile!
I hate birds. That is all.
that’s a great picture. i can’t believe the parrots would do that.
debateur’s last blog post..Wordless Wednesday.
OMG! Better you and your mom than me! No freakin’ way!
Karen’s last blog post..Gotta Get An Economy Car
Cathouse Teri: Heh. The birds look more normal than we do.
Alice: Oh, man! You can’t have severe apathy! No one can write your blog like you can. Hey, if you’re really stuck you can just throw up a YouTube video of my cats:
http://www.youtube.com/user/jcfo
Judy K: EWWWW! No bird is kissing me, especially a black-tongued one! Did the bird actually . . . use his tongue? NO! Don’t answer that. I’m already going to have nightmares.
Natural: HA! I thought of you when I found this picture. They may be colorful and pretty, but they are still TERRIFYING BIRDS!
Angi: Yeah, I was trying to be a good sport. My mom really wanted to do it. And of course the photographer had to get like, 1,000 poses. Just take the damn picture already!
debateur: I know! I’m quite sure they were drugged. I wish I had been. I’m still traumatized.
Karen: HA! It’s funny how many people out there share my fear and hatred of birds!
The first thing you notice in this photo is the facial expressions. Looking at it a second time, is like watching a movie twice – you see stuff you missed first time round. What passing stranger were you about to elbow in the ribs? You look poised and ready ….. and just about ready to break that parrots neck in your elbow ha ha ha!
Babs – beetle’s last blog post..I have Not Been Tagged – Maybe I have.
Now I just gotta ask… did you squeeze any of them? Those birds definitely don’t have small, useless beaks, so I hope not!
Tim’s last blog post..Riding Woody
There is no way in hell I would do that. Nope. Not me. No, no.
My sister-in-law hates dogs and cats but likes birds. Birds? Those things are always up to something. Can’t trust them. You never know when they’ll fly at you, try to peck you or get tangled up in your hair.
The Hawg’s last blog post..Take that, Foxworthy!
What did you DO to those parrots? It reminds me of the Monty Python parrot sketch – ‘this parrot is deceased! It is no more! Hello? Hello? (smacks rigid bird on counter) This parrot is DEAD!!’
Not a direct quote, but you get the gist. ROFL!
Jay’s last blog post..Miss August
Babs – beetle: I was probably ready to elbow a BIRD if it started pecking at me! (Very observant!)
Tim:HA! I wondered if someone (you) would remember and bring that up! You’d think so, but these birds kind of freaked me out. I was afraid if I squeezed one, the rest would all swoop in on me.
The Hawg: I don’t understand people who keep birds as pets. (No offense to your lovely sister-in-law.) They have an agenda, birds do, and it’s usually pure evil.
Jay: HA! I hadn’t thought of that, but you’re right. Those parrots may not be deceased, but they were definitely on something. I wonder what the photographer would’ve done if I’d smacked one of those birds on the ground. Hmmm…
August 10th – large camera inserted in ass.
August 13th – still wordless, but playing with birdies to forget the experience.
How do you do it?
damon’s last blog post..Does That Come With Tentacles?
The look on your face is priceless. At first I assumed it was because it was because of the parrots until I saw the deranged look at your mom their and realized there is some sort of heinous crime and/or assualt taking place. See – when I tell the backstory so you don’t have to!
You do realize you’ll soon be receiving a letter from the parrots’ lawyer demanding internet performance royalties? Bloody unions.
Tiggy’s last blog post..This Is A Bust! Fake Porn Inspectors and Other Stupid Scams
Good grief! The longer I look at that picture, the more parrots I see! I’m up to, like, 70! LOLOLOL! But still only two pretty ladies.
damon: Well, I hate to burst your bubble, my friend, but this bird picture is actually from TWO YEARS ago, when the idea of a large camera being shoved up my ass was simply an awful nightmare that hadn’t yet occurred.
That’s how!
Canucklehead: “Demented.” That is so funny and so accurate. The backstory ACTUALLY was that my mom had tripped walking up to the photo area place and was sort of exhilarated by all the attention she got. But then, I like your version better.
Tiggy: Oh, man. Those damn parrots and their rights. At least I changed my mind about putting the video on YouTube.
Jenny: Aw! Ain’t you nice. It’s like an Easter Egg hunt with those birds. They were popping out all over the place!
That seems unsafe.
Rachel’s last blog post..Hope (hÅp) (n.):the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best:
One of them HAS to be named Polly.
…JD looks away in terror as her mother becomes possessed by the parrot devil. JD’s mom smiles maniacally in anticipation of six-foot tail feathers and the ability to let loose horrifying squawks of death….
Elle’s last blog post..Fun With Anagrams, Evil Parent Style
Great photo! I love the way you are looking at that parrot on your right
windyridge’s last blog post..Cell Phone Numbers Go Public Today! HOAX
i do not like bird at all so i made a poem
i will not hold birds on
a train
a bus
or a plane
i will not hold bird here or there or anywhere
i will not hold them sam i am
I saw JD, so you don’t have to.:-P I think these parrots also don’t have anything to say, are they alive? Errr…
Scratch Bags’s last blog post..Happy Birthday To India And Papa!
Rachel: Yes, it does, doesn’t it? Luckily no eyeballs got pecked out. That I saw.
Danity Donnaly: I’m sure you’re right. I’m sorry to say I wasn’t on a first-name basis with any of them!
Elle: YES! That’s the caption. “Smiles maniacally” is absolutely perfect! And my mom does look possessed! I don’t know what was going on with her…
windyridge: Yeah! That parrot was not to be trusted. But look at its expression. It looks kind of sweet!
brooke regans friend:HA! Great poem. And it perfectly sums up how I feel about birds. I will not hold them in my arms.
Scratch Bags: They do look kind of dead, don’t they? But I think they were just drugged. There’s no way I would’ve gone near one if it had been cawing and clawing and pecking.
Awww. That green parrot is cuddling on you
Marketing Deviant’s last blog post..Make the Host and Guest Exchange Roles
Marketing Deviant: He does have rather a sweet expression, yes? Don’t be fooled. He’s a killer.
Very nice and colourful picture!!
apparel’s last blog post..More reason to wear high heel to office
apparel: Thank you!
One time when I was in a pet shop in New York one of those bird pecked off some of jacket buttons without I knowing it. The shop owner call me back as I left to return my buttons. Lucky the bird didn’t pick my pocket.
