A month or two ago, a family friend’s friend gave us a parrot named Mr. G.
He was amusing at first (then again, birds always are when they know how to shut their little traps), but I never really cared about him as much as the rest of my family did. I don’t know why, but he creeped me out from the get go. I used to scream and run away whenever he’d go near me.
ANYWAYS. Last week, I had a dream nightmare where I finally had the guts to pet Mr. G.
…
AND THEN HE BIT MY FRIGGIN’ FINGER OFF!! *huffs*
I’m going to hate that bird for all eternity. >__>

Ouch. :( My family friend had a pet bird once. They decided to give it back to the pet store because it had a tendency to bite people as well as fly around the house. They were too nice to clip the bird’s wings. You should try to teach the parrot to talk though. It may take a while though. Parrots are known to be stubborn, as I’ve realized by going to my friend’s house when she owned the parrot. The parrot just wouldn’t cooperate when I tried to feed it crackers. It kept tilting its head away.

Oh dear… talk about all your hopes and dreams of PARROT and HUMAN interaction crushed in an instant with the horrible screech of the pain surging throughout that bitten finger. All will be well… hopefully.
Still.. BIRDS ARE A HASSLE AS IS. Today, at the park, I saw a bird. Not an everyday bird.. but a BIRD THAT COULD NOT FLY. And you know what I did? I tried petting the thing… but NO. It just kept hopping away from me. Then, after many attempts later, it was SLEEPING. MY GOD =O it just… sat there.. without moving. I touched with a blade of grass… and yet it again, it was playing dead. It was astounding. Eventually.. the thing went off into the world of bushes leaving me in negativity in the park. Birds hate me :)

Parrots are cool. They live a long time, though. I’m sure you’ll get the guts to pet him in real life sometime. He is only a bird, the most he could do is peck you a little bit. Besides, bribe him with treats or something. That should do the trick.

He could probably sense the fear and thought he’d have a bit of fun. Poor you. :P
Jess said on Jul 6, 2007 at 4:30 am:
LOL poor Mr G. He just wanted to eat a bit of finger! I remember my parrot used to get out of the cage and eat all the fruit in the bench and then fly back in the cage… nice…
Juice said on Jul 6, 2007 at 4:50 am:
Weird. Hahaha I call ‘my guy’ Mr. G. Ngek, wouldn’t wanna associate it with a parrot.
Anyway, same thing here, birds kind of freak me out. Eeeek, So I’ll say Go Keng! haha.
Lauren said on Jul 6, 2007 at 11:02 am:
lmao Mr.G well your could teach him how to talk and at least it wasn’t your whole finger XD just think of the possibilities..
Angie said on Jul 6, 2007 at 2:12 pm:
lmfao oh wow. well birds are like that. the last one we had died in less than a month. haha we’re so great with pets XD
Angela said on Jul 6, 2007 at 6:13 pm:
We used to have a parrot, too, when I was a lot younger. That bird HATED me. The only one the bird liked was my brother. The parrot was SO loud and so angry. We finally gave him away to a parrot breeder, and all’s well that ends well.

might i ask what the “g” stands for? because if it stands for something like… gastronomy, i think you should give this parrot another chance. the science of cooking is wonderful, and anything named after that needs to be loved!
you know what are really cute? penguins.
Rachel said on Jul 6, 2007 at 6:46 pm:
what is G stands for? kinda amused hehe. parrots are nice esp if they are very talkative, but sometimes irritating… keeps on talking and talking
Brenda said on Jul 6, 2007 at 9:54 pm:
LOL… poor little Mr. G… maybe you can just sing along with him and teach some words… and maybe Keng will love him :P
Daisy said on Jul 7, 2007 at 2:09 am:
Aww it was just a dream. Give Mr. G (why G?) a chance! :)
Ellie said on Jul 7, 2007 at 8:41 pm:
I’m not too fond of birds. They scare me. Plus, I never understood putting something with wings in a cage. Seemed odd.
lk said on Jul 8, 2007 at 12:33 am:
Aww no! Don’t hate them. Alfred Hitchcock was just kidding :) I have lived around birds all my life (used to have 30+ at one point) and I have never lost any fingers :)
Eilidh said on Jul 8, 2007 at 9:21 am:
Argh, birds always freak me out, I can imagine how you would feel about the parrot - they can be rather confronting pets. But argh, freaky dream! That would scare me too :(
Frutee said on Jul 8, 2007 at 9:49 am:
haha. i hate birds, especially parrots. they are so damn noisy that i want to just shut their mouth off. hahaha. :P
Emsz said on Jul 8, 2007 at 1:54 pm:
I’d be scared of the stupid bird too if I’d had a dream like that :P Still I think they look very pretty!
Maggie said on Jul 8, 2007 at 2:55 pm:
mr. g was what we called our geometry teacher back in the day. he was sort of a pedofile so that’s unsettling for me. hahahaha.
sortof though. o_O
ag. after a dream like that i’d keep my distance from that piece of fowl hahaha.
jayjayne said on Jul 8, 2007 at 5:50 pm:
Haha, I honestly hate birds with every inch of my body. Particularly since I actually have an alergy to birds. Believe me, it was a surprise to me, and particularly my mother when her little girl, after trotting back from a visit to the zoo, returned to her abode covered head-to-toe in a tasteful red rash.
I was prescribed one painful month of “Smelly Asian Ointment”.
Yurk. D:
“Mr. G” - Does it stand for anything? For example: “Mr. Gaaaaaaah!” or maybe even “Mr Godsdammitmyfinger” ? Just asking, you know. :3
Amanda said on Jul 9, 2007 at 7:39 am:
I don’t mind birds, my dad likes them so we’ve had some before, but thankfully they were only budgies and not parrots… I’m not a big fan of them either. But that nightmare of yours sounds hellishly scary :-|.
Lexie said on Jul 9, 2007 at 10:21 am:
I hate birds. I just hate birds. We used to have a myna bird and he was actually really funny. Until one day when I reached into his cage to feed him and he poked my arm with his beak. It hurt. I wished death upon him the same day and asked my parents for a dog.
Birds are just annoying, especially ones that talk. We used to drape a piece of cloth over his cage at night, so he wouldn’t make any noise.
You should get a dog instead. They’re sweeter than birds.

Lol that is a cute dream. I had one about a komodo dragon who tricked me into taking it to a water park…. haha yeah.
Paul said on Jul 9, 2007 at 12:51 pm:
I know how you feel. I used to have a pet gerbil and (i know this one is sad) i used to have knightmares about it wating my fingers and hand and i never uswd to touch it. hahaha
and then when it died i got really sad and wished that i had spent more time loving it. :(
Briana said on Jul 9, 2007 at 9:56 pm:
I always wanted to have a bird. I’m definitely not afraid of them and they don’t give me the creeps. But, the nightmare does sound bad. I may of been creeped out by that.
Oh, how do you get the preview thing to the bottom of the comment box? Is it a pluggin or something? And the edit comment thing. I may just need to go looking. =)

Chance said on Jul 11, 2007 at 6:36 pm:
lol. That made me laugh.
I think you might have a tad parrot-phobia. Outside your dream, I hope he won’t bite.
Hopefully you’ll have the courage to pet him one day.
Oriana said on Jul 11, 2007 at 8:08 pm:
Boo :P You thought I went poof, huh? XP
ANYWAY. I am lol-ing at your dream. I wonder if you can make parrot stew. 8D
Carmen said on Jul 12, 2007 at 5:06 am:
I hate birds.. even caged ones (but not penguins or flamingos or ducks) so I totally get you. I’d deff. avoid the bird from now on =]

‘Ello Keng! Thanks so much for the frequent comments at my blog, it’s nice to know there are actually people who will read my blog and comment, other than my blog affies.
&on to my comment on your blog entry
That bird sound evil.. he reminds me of a hamster that I tried to hold once, I picked him up and held it in my hand then it bites me and the bite actually bleed some too and unfortunately it wasn’t just a dream.. (-_-;) Anyways, good luck with Mr. G and hopefully your nightmare won’t be coming true anytime.
