A man takes the day off work and decides to go out golfing. He is on the second hole when he notices a frog sitting next to the green. He thinks nothing of it and is about to shoot when he hears, "Ribbit, 9 Iron" The man looks around and doesn't see anyone. "Ribbit, 9 Iron." He looks at the frog and decides to prove the frog wrong, puts his other club away, and grabs a 9 iron. Boom! He hits it 10 inches from the cup. He is shocked.
He says to the frog, "Wow that's amazing. You must be a lucky frog, eh?" The frog reply's "Ribbit, Lucky frog."
The man decides to take the frog with him to the next hole. "What do you think frog?" the man asks. "Ribbit, 3 wood." The guy takes out a 3 wood and Boom! Hole in one. The man is befuddled and doesn't know what to say. By the end of the day, the man golfed the best game of golf in his life and asks the frog,"OK where to next?"
The frog replies, "Ribbit. Las Vegas." They go to "Las Vegas and the guy says, "OK frog, now what?" The frog says, "Ribbit, Roulette." Upon approaching the roulette table, the man asks, " What do you think I should bet?" The frog replies, "Ribbit, $3000, black 6." Now, this is a million-to-one shot to win, but after the golf game, the man figures what the heck. Boom! Tons of cash comes sliding back across them table.
The man takes his winnings and buys the best room in the hotel. He sits the frog down and says, "Frog, I don't know how to repay you. You've won me all this money and I am forever grateful." The frog replies, "Ribbit, Kiss Me."
He figures why not, since after all the frog did for him he deserves it. With a kiss, the frog turns into a gorgeous 15-year-old girl.
"And that, your honour, is how the girl ended up in my room."

If you want a bird, get a bird. Just make sure that the cage can be closed
securely and a room where the cats can be kept out of when you and your bird
want some time alone. We have three dogs and a cat and have had our CAG,
Andy, for over two years. No problem. Like a small child, you don't leave
it alone and unsupervised with ANY possible threat or danger. I say go for
it. I would try to get one that's very young, that hasn't had the chance to
pick up fears and phobias or had any bad experiences with other animals.
When we ask Andy, "what does the kitty say" he answers with a long drawn out
"meeoooooow". Other than that, they pretty much ignore each other. Good luck
.... and don't scrimp on the cage and toys.

Hello,

I have three cats, two of them 3 yrs old, and the other just under 1 yr.
The cats are 90% house cats, they have access to the back garden
supervised a few times per day. Now...I really want to buy an African
Grey Parrot, a young one too - maybe a bird aged 2 - 4 months.

Can anyone give me success stories and / or horror stories with regards to
the risk to the bird? I am well aware that cats are predators, but I am
wondering if by having the bird in the house, will they treat it with more
respect over time? The last thing I want is for the cat to take a swipe
at the poor thing and kill it, or for the three of them to sit and taunt
it all day causing the bird to stress out - parrots can go crazy with
stress I heard.

What I might do, is buy a budgie or cockatiel which cost next to nothing,
and see how they react. If they welcome the wee thing with open arms, I
will buy it a much more expensive friend to sit and talk with

Any tips?

PS - Its Tigger, Tootsie and Tango - www.cutecats.co.uk - they look
harmless .

you thought? how clever

i wouldn't do that, you could end up with a bird you don't want, but having
to live with it for the next four or five years. buy the parrot, and see
what happens, ask the dealer if you can return it if it starts getting
stressed
