Dear Mum

I am so sorry for my betrayal but, in my defense, Stick is irrefutably gorgeous, charming, amazing and irresistible. 😍

Slave said that, after 20 years of co-habitation, this is entirely debatable! She then thought for a moment, puffed out her chest and fixed me with a steely stare before warning me not to get overly familiar or else breakfast, dinner and pleasantries would be in very short supply!

Weird thing love eh! 🤔 Anyway, I am planning secret liaisons!

Yours infatuated ...

Hello Mum

It's your favourite little dust bundle reporting in to say hello. Slave says I am adorable, Stick says I'm a cute little thing and the firetail in the digs opposite keeps referring to a 'sexy mare'. I assume this is intended to be a compliment however, when I pointed out that I actually belong to the Cockatoo genus, not horse, he said something beginning with F under his breath and declared the telephone needed answering. I was quite taken aback but Slave explained that this firetail has a big personality along with a big attitude and my diminutive size but superior knowledge may make him feel a tad inferior. I shall now refer to him as Cocky Rocky and hope this doesn't offend his gigantic and oversensitive ego! The best things really do come in small packages Mum, just like me.

Dear Dad

What a fine mess I am making every day. You would be so proud of my effort and dedication. I am also very dedicated in my efforts to dismember Slave and Stick's toes but, so far, they have always succeeded in cha, cha, cha'ing out of my reach. After an impressive Cuban break earlier today, Stick suggested that Slave apply to Strictly claiming there will likely be plenty of slots available this year! 🎶Da da da da da da da, da da da da da 🎶. If I keep up my toe target practice then the glitter ball surely awaits and I can apparently claim similar celebrity status as Graziano and Giovanni. How exciting. 😁

See you soon Dad.

Dear Dad's

Stick is having to send her phone in for repair which means she has had to pay for "some cheap old tat" until her supadoopa phone gets repaired and returned. She is not at all happy about the camera quality and nearly didn't post these photos out of embarrassment at their awfulness. However, we said you wouldn't mind and that, no matter how blurry, you would enjoy seeing our precious little faces.

So, here we are, in all our blurry, over-exposed glory!

Love you.

Tilly & Rocky (roomies only - not boyfriend and girlfriend!)

With Rocky and Slave cavorting, Tilly has little choice other than to give Stick the evil eye and eat plenty. 🦜🦜

13/07/2024

Impressive tuning, timing and rhythm from Rocky and Slave. Stick and Tilly are far too sophisticated to be making such spectacles of themselves, preferring outdoor time over the discotheque. 🦜 🎤👩‍🎤

06/06/2024

Well done Dad, on your recent climbing conquest. 🏔️ I too have been working out daily to maintain my perfect, thigh-tremblingly impressive, physique. Slave can barely contain herself and blushes all the time. Stick feigns indifference but I see she has been attempting to use resistance bands to beef up her puny biceps! Let me tell you Dad, it will take a VERY long time!

Your lean, mean rugged machine ...

Hey Dad

Sergeant Errol reporting in! I shall keep it succinct, as always

Food = good.
Accommodation = good.
Entertainment = good.
Slave = fabulous.
Stick = utterly despicable.

Aviary time today and it was glorious... that was until despicable Stick said it was time to come in.

According to Stick, my stare was amongst the most deadly and sinister she has ever experienced though, devastatingly, she didn't wither and die right there on the aviary floor.

Tomorrow I shall try again!

I shall keep you apprised.

Dear Mum and Granny

Slave and Stick have been teasing me and making it tricky to find and get to my treats.

I have pooped down their cooker and thrown crumbs all over the floor by way of revenge. Hah!!! 😈🦜

Hope you and Granny are being naughty like me. 😁

Dear Mum

Slave and Stick say I must not be intimidated by size and that many of the best and most precious things in life come in small and colourful packages. Diamonds and Sapphires, for example said Slave with a romantic and dreamy smile. A cordless Dremel with mini cutting wheel said Stick with an excited grin. Slave gave Stick a withering look and said she could do just that with her Dremel ... "where the sun don't shine" to be exact! Not sure about all that Mum but I have made my presence very felt, despite being dwarfed by a couple of foxy firetails.

Living it large but looking forward to seeing you Mum.

Your pocket Rocket.

Dad!

I'm sorry but I think your flight cancellation is a lame excuse for not extracting me from the clutches of the parrot plucker and her specimen jars. Thankfully I have been successful in my efforts to beguile Stick and so far my plumage remains in-tact. Today I was particularly mischievous and cheeky, refusing to let go of Stick while hanging off her jumper, hair and trousers before offering her a taste of my dinner. Stick ignored my food gift (which I thought a rather rude thing to do) but then offered to read a chapter of Jo Jo to me as she thought I might like to hear a bit about my homeland and all that can be achieved in life if only one applies oneself.

I'm not sure what she was driving at as I apply myself every day but Stick says that hell raising and wrecking stuff don't count and aren't vocations to which one should necessarily aspire.

Not sure what her problem is but as far as I'm concerned, like Jo Jo, I am living my best life!

See you soon Dad.

Dad!

Two alarming things have happened today. I got stuffed into an orange sack and taken out to Stick's workshop. Here Stick proceeded to show me, with great pride, her specimen jars full of bird parts. You can imagine my horror, particularly when she gleefully told me she hand plucks them from the bodies of naughty lodgers. 😱😱😱 I returned to my lodgings sometime later and have been an exceptionally good girl ever since.

I have forgiven you for leaving me so would be very happy to be collected any time soon ... sooner if possible! Please! In great peril...

Your Lucky 🦜

09/04/2024

Slave says I have driven her to it... I don't know what she means but do wonder if it has anything to do with the enormous pomegranete poo that she trod in when she was wiping down the walls? 🤔

Dear Daddy

It is delayed I know but I am writing to tell you that, after an initial 10 minute sulk for having been abandoned by you (my supposed doting carer!) I rapidly came to my senses and realised that I didn't give a damn! I mean, if you are having fun then so will I, and anyway, what is there not to like here?! An apartment and playground to myself, whichever radio channel I can get a groove on to and food and drink on tap. Oh, and LOTS of stuff to do and get involved with. Cleaning, hoovering, bed making, showering (Stick not me!) dancing (I'm trying to teach Slave what cool moves really look like) and all sorts of other energetic, intelligent, enriching activities which Stick prefers to call 'wrecking stuff'.

Though you clearly don't care, I will say that I'm eating pretty well though not the green stuff you led Slave and Stick to believe I like. Both of them frown a lot when they see the, I quote, "beautiful and tasty organic tenderstem broccoli", that I so gleefully chuck on the floor every day, only to follow with a bottom lip wobble when they see the impressive amount of passion fruit flesh that I stick to the walls and ceiling. I have so far spared them the pomegranate massacre which I am saving until the next time they stop me from chiselling the architrave.

So, just in case you are the slightest bit interested, I am attaching an activity collage to demonstrate how little I care about the fact that you left me.

Hope you are feeling remarkably guilty about leaving me and therefore struggling to enjoy yourself.

Yours... in contempt ...
Lucky 🦜

Dear Daddy

By the time you read this note we will be together again listening to The Archers and doing all the stuff that we do. As I departed, Slave and Stick said I must try my hardest not to make my usual mess as you are incapacitated at the moment so any mess I make will surely be mine to clear up. I have thought long and hard about this but have come to the conclusion that exercise is not only good for the soul but also essential for convalescence. So Daddy, with all my very special love to you, I shall mess make to my heart's content. 🤭😏😁🦜 💩

Greetings All!

Last year, after some stark reminders that life is so precious and short, we announced that we were taking time out and cutting right back in order to find a better work/life balance and be able to enjoy more quality time together. This wasn't an easy decision to communicate to so many of you (our clients and friends!) nor was it an instant transition to make but, we have been getting there and we know that our decision has been the right one.

Sincere thanks to all of you for your support and understanding and for remaining our staunchest supporters, despite stepping back from the coal face and entertaining you less frequently with Slave and Stick's antics!

We send you and your feathery babies our warmest and most sincere wishes and hugs for the festive season along with every hope and prayer that 2024 is kind and generous, filled with fun and laughter and blessed with good health.

Merry Christmas everyone ... and cheers! 🥂 🎄🦌

Kim & Ginny (aka, Slave & Stick)

So the Xmas decorations are up and Ollie wasted no time in establishing the pecking order. 😅

29/10/2023

Dear Mum

You must think this post very long overdue however, you should know that it is only now that I have released Slave and Stick from the very strict terms of their NDA which stipulates, quite categorically, that, under no account will I submit to being their poster boy. No matter how ruggedly handsome and thigh tremblingly charismatic I may be, the fact of the matter is, I am simply not interested in the trappings of stardom.

Well, that was until 48 hours ago when a Firetail moved in, stole all my limelight, emptied the fridge, chatted incessantly, made an enormous mess on the floor and took repeated trips round the house, buried in Slave and Stick's hair. Then, the icing on the cake as she dominated the Parrot Lodge tabloids with her silly, precocious little face photobombing everywhere and everything.

Well, there just has to be a point in time where one takes a stand and today is the day. Sod the NDA! I am big, I am proud, I am clever, I am charming and I am irresistible. Yes I am shy but I am not grey! I am green, I am blue, I am yellow, I am red and I am bold, brave and mighty! Behold, my name is OLLIE. I am Legend!

Love and miss you Mum. 🦜

Dear Mum

I wasn't much help to Stick today as I landed on a painting of the Black Beast's footprints and was obsessing over their size compared to my own... scary man!!! Stick says I need to grow a pair ... not sure of what though? 🤔

Meanwhile ... back in Treetops. It appears that Wuss boy 'Ollie' ventured out of his gaff for 10 minutes before scooting back inside when he heard my high and mighty self returning for tea or, to be more precise, a "cuppacuppacuppacuppa teeeeeeee."

See you soon Mum.

Years ago I asked my vet to show me how I could safely trim Ollie's beak and claws as he needs it doing so regularly. We have developed such trust and understanding that he now just stands while I do his claws and it saves us stressful and expensive visits to the vet... so very proud of this boy. 😊

Not a bad holiday destination at all! Quite enjoying myself actually and the head skritches are divine!

No need to rush back.

Dear Mam and Dad There's just something about Stick that makes me go all mushy. She doesn't have to do anything - just looking at me is enough 💕🦜. Stick told me not to worry as she has the same effect on Slave. Unfortunately Slave overheard and called Stick delusional! Whoopsie!! Yours infatuated... Smokey X###

Hey Mam and Dad Get this woodchip substrate! Fantastic for chucking around and mess making! I love it and I loved my food forager today. Silly Slave and Stick thought it would keep me busy while they had a quiet civilised lunch but "not on your nellie"! I am smart, I am determined and I am irresistible. I invited myself for a lunchtime threesome, bummed some treats and then got back to the business in hand of mess making. Mission accomplished. Not missing you at all... Your Smokey Xx
