As I Predicted

Posted on: 05/20/08, 12:44:00

Harley's fascination with the kitchen faucet continues. And why wouldn't it? It's shiny (albeit a little covered in water spots), it has two perches that both move, and it dispenses water. What fun!
it's my faucet

Yeah. So now he wants to be there all the time, his poops keep getting squirtier and squirtier, and he tore off the button that says "Kohler" (marked in pink). It landed down the garbage disposal.

Now on the shopping list are epoxy to try to stick the button back in permanently (hahahahaha), and a drainer thingy to keep stuff from falling down the garbage disposal. (Because then Harley will be able to play with pony beads everywhere!)

Oh, and I need to get a new faucet, as well. The next thing to go will be the aerator. I can tell.
THIS IS MINE TOO

Do they make bird-safe faucets?

So, you've heard about the lost parrot who gave the vet his home address, haven't you?

Further proof that parrots *could* take over the world but are benevolent and trying to elevate the lower species (i.e., humans).

You also need to be concerned about keeping Harley out of the disposal. Murphy's Law counts double for parrots, which explains the budgie who got behind my bookshelf which angled toward the wall the closer you got to the floor, and ended up pointing head-down into a crack too finy for my fingers...

Good point, Nance. I had a drainer thingy in place when Peanut was around, because he could have completely disappeared down there. However, Harley is the one that has actually fallen into the sink (after the drainer thingy was in place!). Click the link to see a bad photo:
