Almost as picky and demanding as my 13 year old Tom cat.

Roast parrot anyone

Polly’s going against the grain

She’s turned into a real wise cracker.

I’ve decided to study certain ancient philosophies. So I’ll be a paleo-ontologist.

I´m studying how to cook a parrot, just hope it doesn´t taste paleo!

Gotta cut out the pollysaccharides and increase the pollyunsaturated fats.

Picky Polly deep fat fried. Ironic, no?

Braak! Gotta break out the shotgun. Braak!

Bleeb, what have you been teaching that bird?

Polly has another featherbrained idea.

“You are getting sleepy, very sleepy.” " When I snap my fingers you will open the cage door." “Oh crap I don’t have fingers.”

One of my uncles on my mother’s side was an Army Air core pilot during WWII. He was assigned to fly supplies into India across the Himalayas and crash landed in the jungle and survived by shooting parrots and eating them. They tasted pretty good to him and his crew. He and most of his crew survived!

Polly wants to play hunter killer with a whole sunflower head. My bird had more fun with stalking and attacking that eating.

Non processed? Get a cup of worms from the bait shop. Organic and no preservatives.
