I start...Is your Blue Jay the Blue Jay that's wild? <BR/><BR/>I started with cockateils. I had 2 before Beaker (my cockatoo). My first cockatiel's name was Mr. Peabody (that is until he layed an egg), then I had to change it to Mrs. Peabody. She did everything with me. She showered with me, ate with me (and ate from my plate) and sat on my shoulder while I put on my make up. She was cool. It was a sad day when she died, I think she had an egg that stuck in her...not really sure. My second cockateil's name was Little Boots (from Caligula). he was never friendly. He was pretty but could care less to be touched or out of the cage.<BR/><BR/>I wasn't planning to buy Beaker when I got her but I was looking in an Aviarium and she was so sweet. She had been hand raised and I just had to take her home. <BR/><BR/>Do not buy a big bird if you don't have lots of time because Beaker is like a 3 year old - everyday. Today she started eating the leather on my office chair - you know that made me happy. <BR/><BR/>I'll have to tell some Beaker stories on my blog.DJ Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315379832113824168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29762189.post-1160348244712782652006-10-08T18:57:00.000-04:002006-10-08T18:57:00.000-04:00dj andi - we have cookatiels...We call them cockaT...dj andi - we have cookatiels...We call them cockaTOOLS because they're a little spazzy. I would LOVE a cockatoo. Every year I think that this will be my year to buy one.....It just hasn't happened yet. My kids tell me that someday when they are rich, they'll buy me one...My Blue Jay would take a piece outta someone, if he were in the mood. He gets into everything. He knows how to let himself out of his cage, so I have to watch him like a hawk....Biddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07745873261311850810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29762189.post-1160324912745227032006-10-08T12:28:00.000-04:002006-10-08T12:28:00.000-04:00All ideas are GREAT!

Hubby definitely needs to talk to him about privacy, kids, wife...and if he acted like it bothered him that he would just come into HIS house without being invited it might make a difference.<BR/><BR/>Hey-different subject. Do you have cockatoos or cockateils? I couldn't help but notice in the blog. I have a Goffins cockatoo. Her name is Beaker and she is a handful. I'm surprised your birds aren't guarding the house. Beaker tries to!DJ Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315379832113824168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29762189.post-1159752890685307212006-10-01T21:34:00.000-04:002006-10-01T21:34:00.000-04:00answer nekkid and hand him an iced tea...smile swe...answer nekkid and hand him an iced tea...smile sweetly and close the door...dillinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10833842886715698428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29762189.post-1159588300105827712006-09-29T23:51:00.000-04:002006-09-29T23:51:00.000-04:00kate isis - We hav elaws like that here, too.

I want to have a good relationship with my landlord, and he doesn't understand that there are laws about entering somone's home. The man has got to be 80, and it seems as though he is stuck about 80 years in the past. Hopefully, after Hubby speak swith him, he'll get the hint. <BR/> I swear, he WILL see us doing something one of these days. It'll scar the poor old guy for the rest of his days.

It is rather unsettling. I moved here because I want my privacy, above all. <BR/>her indoors- I HAVE told him to knock, to phone 1st if he wants to come by. He doesn't listen to women...I belong in the kitchen, apparently. <BR/>4D- I think that if he comes in again, I'll show him what goes on behind closed doors!!<BR/>lady&cindy- he is a good landlord in so many ways. I will have to get Hubby to speak to him, AGAIN.

Maybe you could take it up with the church if they own the property.

My kids would seriously freak out if they were home alone and just came in. <BR/> He isn't coming IN for any reason, he just stops by sometimes or has something to tell us. Our house is owned by the church next door, and he is the person that manages the rental properties. We see him a couple times a month because of this. He just tries to come in to see if anyone is home. I know that it's illegal, but I love my house, and we don't want to take any action against our ladlords. (especially since Hubby just got laid off and rent will be late.)<BR/> Our house is so cute, and I finally have a garden, my own driveway, andit's a real house, I don't share a wall with anyone. If it weren't for this one thing, I would be SOO happy. <BR/> The other problem is that he (lanlord) won't listen to me because I'm just a woman. A couple of months ago, he wouldn't even take the rent from me. He wanted to deal with Hubby. <BR/> Too bad my dog sare big babies. a fright from the dogs might be enough for him to keep his distance.Biddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07745873261311850810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29762189.post-1159459565198718772006-09-28T12:06:00.000-04:002006-09-28T12:06:00.000-04:00That is so wrong.

Thankfully, he doesn't have a key. We changed the locks when we moved in, because the landlord had lost ALL of the keys. I just keep 'forgetting' to hav e set made for him. I might put a chain on though.

It is illegal for him to just walk in, he has to give notice. Have you thought about putting a chain on the door? Just for when your home.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06693590401750798739noreply@blogger.com
