"Raaaa!!!"
Welcome!! To our torture provider's side of the web.
This is Tahoe. He is an Umbrella Cockatoo, and this music fits him PERFECTLY. His favorite past times are pissing people off, watching cartoons, screaming to his little heart's content, destroying things, and saying "HeellOOOOOOO". If I could get a sound clip of him, I would and will post it here.
7/9/03- Today my mom cleaned my room. I was pretty mad at her for doing it because I was playing with this wonderful green plastic that was hanging out down underneath my floor. Her parents put this thing called a Lei on the top of my cage, I like them, they don't think about my beak when they put things up there. Mom does....she takes things away from me all the time. Mom was gone over the weekend and I love acting like a little hellion when she's not here. Before she left though she kept bringing over the Cheerios that I really like and this thing she's calling a "clicker". It's really cool, every time the "clicker" clicks, I get a cheerio! I love that game! Maybe I'll get it if I scream enough? Tonight Mom is leaving again, which means I am going up to her room upstairs. Her mom isn't feeling well today so she's going to lock me up in her room so I cant see anybody, I think I will just scream up there! The one thing I like about her cleaning my room is that she puts a box of toys at the bottom on the floor. It usually is full of ripped paper (for me to rip at will) and a few toys. I destroyed everything she put in there last week. I think I will destroy all of these things too. She likes buying me new toys because every time I rip them up, she gets new ones!! Isn't that cool? I have her trained so well. Aaahhh, I love a clean room, I think I'll clean my feathers now. Thanks for dropping by. -Tahoe
1/13/04- Happy New Year! I havent been able to write because since November 8th, my mom moved my house up to her room upstairs. I like it up there, I get peace and quiet all day long, I dont get bothered by the flock coming home at night, and when the sun sets, it's dark. I hate lights. Mom visits me a lot more, she spends lots more time with me now and i'm a much happier bird now. I dont scream so much anymore, but that's because I only see the person i really like in the house. Once in a while those other people will pop their heads in my door, especially my mom's sister, she likes to torment me by jumping in the room and scaring me. I scream at her... a lot! I am the protector of the room too! When I'm out, playing on my mom's bed, i have full view of the hallway and when people are going to come in. Just the other day I jumped on the guy who lives here (her dad) because he came in the door without asking me. He didnt catch me very well so I hung onto his shirt and flapped my wings as hard as i could! He didnt seem very happy, but he came into OUR room without asking ME. Mom calls me her guard bird. I have a new hobby, destroying the new toys mom puts in my cage as fast as possible. She just added 3 new toys and already they're underneath where that newspaper is. Maybe new ones will come soon? I also get yelled at sometimes, when i play as soon as the the window gets a little bit light, i like to play with my toys and pang on the bars. I guess mom doesnt like that, she doesnt wake up when i do, so i chewed a few holes in the new blanket she put over my house. There's a nice big window for me to look through and check on her to see if she's still sleeping. I think she took a picture of me and will put it up on this thing soon. Sometimes I peak through and whisper hello to see if she's awake or sleeping. She doesnt always answer. Well I have to go back to my house now, she needs to go to work. Thanks for reading about me. Next time I'll tell you about how i like it when she brings the dogs in the room to sleep, because i like grabbing their noses! bye!
1/24/04 Want to see my tree?
That's me on my tree, smiling so pretty at the camera. Mom was trying to get me to look scary, but i was laughing at her. Do you like it? It's living in the garage right now. I dont get to play on it, mom says something about sharp edges or something, and something with my beak. I was just sharpening my beak....it's not MY fault that the branches were weak. Now there's nails or something all over it, and I'm not allowed on it for a while. So I dont get to play on it. I miss it. This morning I got to play on the banister upstairs while mom was getting ready. I was running back and forth and yelling as loud as I could to her parents downstairs. They weren't coming up, but her sister did! I got her. She was in the bathroom staring at herself and I was watching her through the door. When she wasnt looking (mom was) I ducked down REALLY low and jumped as hard as i could and FLEW into the bathroom!!! Mom gave me away though and she jumped out of the way. I almost had her on her stomach!! OH well, next time. I wasnt too happy all morning after that.
