ROTFLMAO!!! Rick, that was the funniest description of Spaw I have EVER heard! What an old reprobate, eh? Nice to see you back in form.

God, how Spaw must have been enjoying himself.

Peadie, I am gonna look at your website shortly.

In the meantime....the important thing with a parrot is not whether it is headless, but whether it is DEAD. Some things can still be done with a headless parrot, but a dead parrot is totally useless, even if it IS nailed to the perch, and should be taken back without delay to the shop where it was purchased, and a refund demanded in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS. A headless parrot? Well, that's another matter entirely. A headless parrot is less expensive to feed and you can keep it in a really spartan cage and the bird won't object, because it can't see that its lodgings are, shall we say, substandard...

Furthermore, it won't squawk or make loud noises, and it won't say "The cow's here!" when your mother (or girlfriend, or whatever) walks in the door, for example.

The other great thing is you won't have to provide it with a little woolen hat during the winter.

I hope this helps...

(*please note that I am most definitely joking...)

Yes, I know it is a parakeet, not a parrot, but the principle is the same in either case... :-)

Hawk, I hate to be the one to point this out to you, but headless parakeets, parrots, whatever, are usually dead ones, and aren't any less expensive to feed than the dead ones with heads.

Now Jeri is correct in saying that headless parakeets are usually dead, but please be aware that they aren't NECESSARILY dead. I understand that there have been some decapitated chickens that lived for months or years that way, so long as they were fed down the top of their esophagus. So the headless parakeets may not be a lot less expensive to feed, as you still have to feed them, but then again you can feed them the cheap stuff and they're hardly going to complain about it are they, now?

Peadie,
Welcome! I will take a look at your website. Meantime, visit out Mudcat Resources page where you will find a picture of Cleigh O'Possum, the poor unfortunate 'possum who is the recipient of Spaw's blandishments. It may explain a lot.
Then come join Matt on Hearme and attempt to convert a few of these dinosaurs. They will kick and scream but I believe you have already suffered the worst of their nonsense.

OH...For the record, I am older than Spaw and see no humor in the above posts. Also for the record, I am younger than Kendall. But so is God.

Little Hawk, does the same hold true for dead and/or headless chinchillas?
