Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for August 04, 2010

Yeah, hand it over, pops!

Good Morning Everyone!

It’s Hump Day!

Looks like Polly has had too much coffee lately.

But, Floyd is saying, “I ain’t got no stinkin’ crackers”!!!!!!!!!

Don’t mess with Polly.

Face on the bottom of her left wing.

Give a parrot a cracker and he eats for one day. Teach a parrot to talk and create a cracker addict.

I’d say Polly’s cracking up. Or already cracked.

Teaching Polly to talk wasn’t the problem, giving her prehensile wingtip feathers was.

Ain’t worth your life, Floyd! Fork it over!

Come on already and feed the bird.

This cartoon is a Parroty of Justice!

Is that Quickdraw Macaw?

Thanks (?) WOODEYE I missed that. Two days till the shrink. Two days till the shrink Two days till the shrink

They say crack(er) addicts are the most dangerous.

Wood-Eye, I’ve tried - I’ve looked upside up and upside down, I’ve crossed my eyes till they watered, and I can’t see that face.

Let me be the first to be offended. How does a bird even hold a gun with it’s wing and have a finger on the trigger?

I can’t see no faces… it has to be because I’m exhausted from working the Midnight shift. The life of a Security Guard sucks!

Mornin’ Oh Mighty Thom and the rest of the Birdbrains!

I can see a left arm face, but I had to put the top on the right instead of the left I was trying to do at first in order to see it. And man that was a bad sentence.

minky moo, LuvH8, I just left a comment in yesterday’s caveman discussion. I refrained from any comments in that direction until you mentioned it.

Polly could only take so much before she went crackers.

I thought only cows had guns.

See!!, Gun laws don’t work. The US Constitution only provides for arming BEARS not BIRDS and so it’s illegal for birds to have guns, and yet here’s one committing a gun crime in spite of gun laws. When parrots are outlawed, only outlaws will have parrots.

Is that like the sheep saying “when wolves are outlawed, all the outlaws will be wolves”?

Fair enough, but that’s not a problem when the sheep have a good shepherd. Preferably one with a gun. :)

The debate wouldn’t exist if the “freedom to bear arms” wasn’t granted to resist potential tyranny (among other things). But what if the king isn’t a tyrant, has all power, and has permanent tenure?

Political/theological question of the day…

LafInLarry - I held my tongue yesterday too. Great description ROFLMAO

Luv - re: yesterday. So perhaps the better question is who has been slipping Lew’s drugs into the BT Juice Jar?

Stayed away from the juice this morning and I don’t see even one face…. hmmmm…..

My cockatoo was definitely a thief. A sneak-thief.

Responded in yesterday’s comments.

(BTW - Please don’t tell Sir Lew what I said, he might be offended.)

LadyHawk, really? I drink that juice!!!!!

LUVH8 is lucky it is so late. Otherwise I would attack with some biting sarcasm I am too tired to think of. Besides, I’m scared of KITTY.

I still don’t see any faces, but If I look real hard, the parrot’s left wing looks like a hairy dachshund with its head stuck in the bird’s armpit.

Hurray for the birds in the comics today!

shouldn’t that be crumby cracker? just the two faces for me :(

Bird, you also had a cockatoo? My beloved Cuddles died in my arms in June of ‘08. I still LOVE the “toos” but I have a scant 2 decades remaining so I now adopted a Timneh Grey from a shelter. He will fit in with the 2 birds my youngest son has (unmated pair of Eclectus) and he’s good company for me but will never match the “love of my life” who was my best friend for over 23 years!
