Spark watching Spark

<div class="IPBDescription">Official Mascotte? :p</div>Hii Guys,

Here are some links to two pictures of (my Parrotlet) Spark watch Spark (the NS2 engine) do it's thing. [Actually it was a replay from a competition, but /care] ;)

Reasons why my Spark is better than Charlie's;
* My Spark doesn't make doodoo without giving a warning up front.
* My Spark ensures the environment is completely bug free.
* My Spark is only 8 weeks old, gives kisses, sits on your finger, and has all kinds of practical commands making him "playable" within that short amount of time.

Ok, ok, I'll stop before Charlie goes red & purple with jealousy :p *haha*


But yeah, my GF is turning my place into a Zoo and wanted a birdie, so I went to look around and found world's smallest parrots (quite rare in the USA, even more so over here in Europe). They can't really talk, but they can "talk;" chirp intonations.
Example is in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqVxChQxxoQ" target="_blank">this Youtube clip</a> (Skip to 0:45 if you can't spare a min) ;)

This one isn't completely potty trained yet, but doesn't surprise me with unwanted gifts without a proper decent warning (gentle nibble, followed by poofing himself up and making him all big and a semi-angy semi-confused look on his face... Does this about 3 times before he really can't hold it with a few min intervals, so it's enough time to put him back on / in the cage ;)
Got shutters and stickers for all the windows now, so he won't think he can fly through an opening which has an "invisible wall" in it.

All in all; he's great and my GF still doesn't have a birdie, cuz I'm not giving up MY sweet Sparky :D
I did however get overruled by her, wanting to name it Lerk o:) But that name was too "ugly" :o :p *haha*
[He can't shoot spikes, but he does know how to fly at you and bite :D Don't know who taught him that though o:)]

    It must be a regional thing. These folks ain't local y'all.

    I had two when I was younger, Boyd and Floyd. Awesome birds.

    And I fucking hate birds as pets. They were great though.
