Same here, I’m 26 and I’d move out if my mum wouldn’t keep cooking for me :lol:
ya want a flat mate :)
son for sale…
Funnily enough, I do have an idea in my mind for a perfect flatmate :D
Must be a family thing, my big cousin is 28 and lives at home. My younger cousin is 25 (there’s 8 months between us, he’s 26 in March) and lives at home too. Until he meets the woman of his dreams (again) that is, then he moves in with her (again) then moves back when they split up (again)
one always assumes the little starlings shall move out by age,,as in oldest first !!
Not me !! my daughter who is 20,has her own place,own man and a baby..
Jordan (son) and I joke that we will be like Johnny Vegas and his mum from the programme “benidorm”,,a classic scene,,he is telling his mum he is going away with his mates next year,,the “mum” isnt interested and continies reading the brochures..he eventually asks ” where ya thinking of going mum”.she says,,oh same place,,so johhny vegas goes ” ok OKAY to stop ya moaning I will come with ya”…
me and joe laugh at that as he came on holiday with me !!! as if HE is doing ME a favour,,wee fooker cramps my style !
It’s nice to know that it’s not just the free meals he appreciates though :D Not that I’m saying that’s the only reason I’m not shifting, she does my washing and ironing as well :lol:
Anyhoo, I’m off to bed cos it won’t come to me.
Night folks

They can and have been known to live to 30(ish) with a good diet and tlc hun.
When your doing your veggies for your dinner leave a bit aside to cool down and pop it in for birdy. It will take a while to know which ones he likes. Same with fruit.
But avoid avocado, onion, chocolate (pretty obvious but you would be surprised)!
How old are yours?
calculating…..they were runts that were thrown out nest as eggs ! 15 years ago..My man had to break the shell and hand rear them…they were that pathetic and abandoned they have been with me ever since,,house birds. the male is grey and cinnamon..his sister is albino yellow..but they both try to shag Jordans feet !
we had a female cinnamon before that used to lay eggs on MY feet ! i wouldnt mind but im tiny ! and (cough) petite..nah it was a shame as we had to take the eggs from her as she became attached and used to attack stacey when she was wee..
The boys have all gone now,,i refused to sell them as my hubby was VERY picky..so the kids took over.all sheltered and heated aviary with massive flights.they lived out their natural lives,,and i dont mind admitting when the last one died ( snowy2) i wept like a bairn !!
lots of memories with these wee birds,,all loved in their own wee way and spoilt rotten ! they had a good life,,with natural willow bark etc..
the house birds go mental for chow mein or pot noodles !!! !!!
and nanite john xx see ye soon hen :) xx
Yeah just watch out for the salt content, Im partial to a pot noodle but they are probaby 150% salt!!
Remove the eggs if they appear undertile or alternatively stick a nest box in. But that will result in babies and deciding whether to keep them and the parents and them also breeding, or finding homes. Depends how you feel about it really. If birds are happy and not depressed at having the eggs removed then carry on doing so.
They ARE part of the big parrot family, and are amongst the cleverist. When you get a chance have a wonder through the youtube vids of ‘tiels and you will see for yourself.
Our african grey Benjie has mastered saying “hello” with a scottish accent the past few days… It cracks me up! He has copied it from me answering the phone to family when I suddenly change my accent!
He then follows it up with “ring a ring a roses your such a twat I love YOU, I love you too!”
Amongst the other zillion words/phrases he comes out with :)
nah but cheeky,,the original grey/cinnamon was a single virgin !! they were unfertilised eggs ! I grew up with Budgies etc,,so im used ti the routine of fresh water..they have came alert and poised as they know im talking about them!
as a bairn i had a budgie with supreme vocabulary..Joey,,i Used to play with it as in drag it along in little toy trains etc and it used to sleep in bed with me ! under the covers !
his main sentence was ” joeys a fvcking pest” did in a sublime Glasgow accent of my faither !
and ” oh joey shut up for goads sake” did in a flat vowelled Dundee accent of my mammy !
i remember he flew away and i was taken to a neighbourhod(ish) place where he was found,,in a tansad :) we knew it was him right away,,he was dishevelled and skinny but peeked out the makeshift box and uttered the immortal words….” joeys a fvcking pest” :)
oh happy,,yet simple childhood memories :)
