Hi Kerry78! Nice to meet you. I have never personally been to the U.K. But my mother has. That was the very first time she has ever flown, too. Went there with one of her neighbors, who was from England, and went to visit family and some sightseeing. She loved it!

I am from Pennsylvania U.S.A. Welcome to the forum.

Hey DCookie,

 

Sorry about the delay been bunged up with a Cold and I cannot seem to shift yet a Horrible cough

heading down the Docs inabit for some Medication had enuff now lol

 

btw yeah My other half has relatives in The US

ive always wanted to travel to NYC so im hoping I can go once

things are right

 

I think the right time to travel is the Summer tbh though anyone coming to the UK

now are mad iweather is shoddy ok so its not exactly that cold atm but it varies !

 

Have a Good Day

 

Well, I hope you feel better soon. I guess it's that time of the year for colds and have just recently gotten over one, myself, so I know how you feel.

That would be great it if you could get to New York. Were you ever in the U.S.? New York is definitely a great place to see. I only live a few hours from there and have gone with friends just for a day to do some shopping. Little italy, a section of the city, is a GREAT place for some good food.

How is the weather in UK? is it always cold? btw they said they have good beers cheers.

hi,

hey personally i didn't but my brother is there only...planning to go there soon...

Nice

lol no ive never been to America yet but its defo one of the places im eager to travel to will go once things are paid off i think

also need a Parrot sitter before I go

 

weather isn't as cold tbh as it was last year its very mild in some what way im actually glad cos last yr we had all the nasty white stuff and it was mental, everywhere just fell appart which was pretty funny though

 

lol when or if you folks visit here visit Carphone Warehouse or Phones4u and get yourself a Cheap mobile

you don't want any un-pleasant ATT bills

 

if you visit any of the UK networks stores there handsets are locked on PAYG and they will require a £19.99 fee to get them unlocked but Carphone Warehouse are normally Sim free on PAYG handsets

 

hope thats some help to you if your coming over anytime soon

 

Oh Ps I really don't drink so ur asking the wrong Chick hehe

You have a pet parrot? That's cool!

I like parrots, you can teach them words even bad words LOL

We have a parrot person on the Uverse side.

 

Never been, except virtually, online.  I'd like to go someday to meet distant cousins we have over there.

 

Yeah ive got 3x Cockatiels 2x Boys and 1x Girl ive seen youtube videos of them talking and doing tricks But mine just like being Birdys lol Constant Noise, lots of Mess they drive me Bonkers but oh what da heck hehe btw Will post a link up later for yaz all to see, i'm on myphone and just got in Bed ! Hah

A friend of mine had parakeets that she taught to talk. I never knew PARAKEETS could talk until I saw it with my own eyes!

Birds are very smart, and parakeets are in the parrot family, IIRC?

I suppose they are.  

Hooray for intelligent winged friends!

Oh yeah there very intelligent lol

 

Cockatiels and Parakeets or otherwise known Budgies orignate from Australia

Cockatiels are part of the Cockatoo species otherwise known as the little Cockatoo

 

there great pets always want attention lol I tend to think of them as kids cos there alot like Human kids

 

btw heres a pic of my lot

 

 

 

 

didn't want to bore you all with the Photobucket content ive got so just added this one for now

 

Very nice!  Are they blood-relations?  All in different cages?  Do they have free roam of your home?

I like it we have a Sun Conure and yes they are smarter than you think.

I know they're smarter than a lot of people I've run across.

 

What does your bird look like, oz?

When i try and upload an image an unknown error keeps occuring never had that before.

Is the image size too large? If so, try downsizing the picture.

I think it's because Safari does not have Flash support. I have to upload pictures and insert them using my Android phone, which does have Flash.

Nice bird!

The second one worked I had Click To Flash enabled in Safari soon I will not have to worry about it since few if any will keep supporting it. But for all those that have had issues in Lion with Safari and have CTF installed remember to disable in order to upload on a site that uses Flash.

*Pretty bird* We had a parakeet when I was a kid, and we would say pretty bird to her all the time. Do these birds like the same phrase? And we thought she was a he, until we found her dead in her cage one morning. Vet said she died trying to pass/lay an egg? I was only 3, and still makes me sad.

They are like a dog or cat as long as you talk to them in a loving manor they think they are being praised except for the word bad which over time they all relate to something they have done that you do not approve of the difference between birds and other pets scolding

other than telling them bad bird and put them back in their cage only intensifies their bad behavior. If you praise them they try and repeat the action they thrive on attention or at least ours does.
