Getting Ready for The Game (of Thrones)

Since last Sunday marked my transition to parrot tamer I looked forward to bringing Gandalf upstairs to watch his second episode of Game of Thrones. Here he is doing his best dragon impression. You should turn the sound up for best effect. And the last sound...his screech in slo-mo. Sounds like the Horn of Mordor - crazy.

So as we got all set up to bring him up the dragon power got to his head and he laid his feathers back and lunged at us. Suffice it to say he missed his TV show and instead went to bed early.

This is what Time Out looks like for a parrot. Thank goodness for this lifesaving heavy quilt. It definitely works. He is blissfully quiet as soon as he's cocooned in here.

You've got to know when to hold 'em and know when to fold them. In this case I walked away before I had to run.
