I may have already posted this, I am not sure.

Once again I'm sort of fighting with my bird. Observing is probably a better way to say. Personally I think he is messing with me.

He has a small bell in his cage that he will not touch when his cage is uncovered and open. When I cover the cage there is ding, ding, ding. Uncover the cage and again the bell is ignored. Cover again and ding ding ding. It isn't like he isn't ready to be covered as, if I'm 15 minutes late in covering, he will squawk and make a fuss. Cover and ding, ding, ding.

He's totally messing with you and probably giggling about it.
Of course if you take the bell out he'll squawk right?

Ya, he is messing with me. I've never removed the bell but you are probably right in that he would complain.

Has to be understood that this is a rescue bird that was abused. He is VERY protective of his cage and will actually either flee or attack if I enter the cage. Yet, out of the cage he will cuddle up on my chest. He is totally different in and out of his cage.

Here is a small example of how he was initially treated. In front is in what he previously lived. In back is his current home. In this photo the cage is not finished as to what he has to mess with. To give perspective the dark back cage is 3X3 feet in depth and width and 4 feet tall. I consider it totally cruel that he spend, probably around 2-3 years in the white cage. I've done the best that I can. His first cage was like putting a beta in a quart of water which many do. Second image is more like how he is out of his penthouse. Third is his catching some sun on my window screen. May be a 'head case' but sure is a pretty bird.

I bought a set of test tubes one time, no big deal, but the big slogan on the package caught my eye: "It isn't enough that we do our best. We must do what is required!"
An odd slogan for any company, and I can't really see how it related to graduated cylinders. But strangely thought provoking. Maybe even words to live by.

That's a labor of love right there.

A man goes to a psychiatrist. The doctor says, "You're crazy" The man says, "I want a second opinion!" "Okay, you're ugly too!"

A guy complains of a headache. Another guy says, Do what I do. I put my head on my wife's bosom, and the headache goes away. The next day, the man says, Did you do what I told you to? Yes, I sure did. By the way, you have a nice house!

That reminds me of my favorite Winston Churchill quote. Leaving a pub after having a few, he was confronted by a female member of parliament. "Sir Winston, you are drunk!"
He replied, "Yes, my dear, and you are ugly. And in the morning I shall be sober, and you will still be ugly."

Scholars differ on whether this exchange ever actually took place. Personally, I think it's too good not to be true.
