Are those your birds?

I had an offer several years ago for a McCaw, as the man had Terminal Cancer and had to give it up. I wish I would have taken it. Many have told me what a good pet they are and enjoyable to have around.

We have 8 African grey’s, one molacan cock a too, one Blue Macaw, a Conyor, and a rescue Mexican military macaw

My wife used to breed the greys and cocoa too’s

Beautiful, I sure made a mistake. The little time I did have with his Bird was great, I put my arm out and he just walked right up and was so comfortable with me as a Stranger. How old is your Beauty?
Chip is 22.
My wife hatched him from an incubator and gave him to her sister.
Her Sister’s neighbors got tired of him after 10 years so he came back.
We have no issues on our property with bird noise luckily.
Chip is cool with us. The greys that are left we’re not handled for several years and would need to be re trained but they could be.

Oh baby, Ventura shorelines till chillin.... dang I tried to pull my wife and step kids outta douche' Newport and relocate to that area but unfortunately the cultural damage was done by the time I had it figured out. Embedded. Good to see its still laid back up there.

PS.... here's a post with video that my software could play.... still can't play yours. Hoping the RDP Brain trust will have resolutions this week.

Have flocks of those little green ones in a friends Belmont Shores neighborhood .... noisy buggers .... and no natural predators anywhere around. They are there to stay it appears. My buddy had a huge macaw for many years.... smart as shit but for me very intimidating. That thing was huge and my friends wife brought him out after dinner and sat on couch next to me on her shoulder and he was reaching his claw out trying to get on MY shoulder... she said "Oh Billy look, Riley wants to climb onto our shoulder.... he likes you." I looked over at my buddy and he slowly looked down at his hand to silently show me his scars from years of Riley biting him. Apparently Riley liked the wife but hated my buddy. I sucked it up and let that big fucker perch on my shoulder right next to my face, eye to eye. That was a long damn few minutes I can tell you that. No scars thank goodness.

Celebrating 40 years of marriage this weekend. We have been incredibly blessed with 2 sons and 2 daughters, a daughter in law, a son in law and two grandsons. Here is my bride. She’s put up a lot of you know what from me.

My covenant woman and best friend.

When there are no fires to watch... It's strange how attached I've become attached to this dude... if you look close, his talon is poking through a hole in the platform he's on, and I had the thought of "What if he gets that stuck?" :oops: 😂 . I have yet to see the top of him... Alertfire won't move the camera up. Anyway, he's fun to look at, sits there for hours. (I think he's a bald eagle or a juvenile bald eagle. )🧡 Update: he's not stuck... LOL

I'm in San Diego, I work for a fire dept, so we keep an eye on the fire cameras around the state. This guy hangs out near Visalia, Tulare, Exeter area. :)

Every firefighter wants to get on with OCFA for sure. Its the premier on so many levels I hear.

I'm administrative, and you can look at all the camera's as well.
here's the site. you can look by region.
They move every 15-seconds, some have playback.
And yes, OCFA is nice, the dept I work for is equally as nice, however I have no upward ladderal (pun intended 🔥) movement. So I'm looking for growth!

I had one of your firefighter gals in my life for three years a while back.... total beast volleyballer and beautiful human being.... she was on the avp tour when we met and fell in love.... now a paramedic. One of your captains saw her training and asked me if I thought she'd like to be a fire fighter... I introduced them and the rest is history. Loves her crew, station and life today. During the academy training I watched all the guys transitioning from other California/ AZ fire organizations.... they all wanted OCFA.

And yes fellas... I know you like pictures.... but I ain't doing that. She wouldn't think much of it and might kick my ass.
