hey Rick my wife and I are heading to my homeland in Dominica from berlin in four weeks,we look at your videos every day after work and it's your videos which have triggered the plan to go home this year ,brother your videos are sooooooooo amazing and beautiful we could not resist going,your work is invaluable brother believe me and thanks ,we wish you guys all the best and as always keep them coming.
Absolutely loved it Rick. Was nice to see you with your family back home and everybody enjoying themselves. I know this was from awhile back ,but it was nice to put together some of the clips from past videos. Kinda like putting together a very large crossword puzzle. Loved the trip and the rest of the video. I think you guys are great .THANKS.
Hello Rick. I’ve just seen an old video of Lucky’all passing and was sad to hear that. Just watching this one and it makes me proud to see a fellow Canuck making it, as a sailor. I’m originally from Cape Breton and spent 14 years in the Navy, which had me end up on the west coast. I have been looking for a boat, but I feel spending time with other sailors on other boats, is what’s necessary. When this Covid thing ends, I’d love to have a conversation with you. So glad Magdalena and you are happy and well. Namaste from Vancouver Island brother, Nathan. 😉🙏🏼🇨🇦
Tiki liked you from the start, always a true sign of empathy in the human. I have known many birds and to see her warm to you like this, off the bat is wonderful.
Thanks for sharing the journey you took to get Tiki. Nice to look back and get some history of what really happened to get on board. Brenden....Pool Shark! Nice job. I keep telling people that it is expensive to travel to St. John...or anywhere in Caribbean but after seeing the bar tab for a couple beers in New York....nah...I'll take the Caribbean any day!
Tiki is precious and will hopefully be sailing with you for many years. I did so enjoy Lucky - so much personality with a sense of humor. (I've always wondered if Lucky just died one day or was there an accident? My heart ached for you!) It looks like Tiki's eyes haven't changed all the way yet so she's still young and will grow up to be a devoted pet. Bless you all! Me & my African Grey, Kiwi
Well that was a fun video. Parrots are amazing animals and Greys are one of the best. It's good to see Tiki is one of the family and was not brought on board as a novelty. Take care of her.
Thanks for sharing your family life and to see where you grew up. it looks very midwest . Tiki is a doll and I can see your love her. I always wanted a parrot until I found out how loud they can be.
Gee, Rick. This warmed my heart! Beautiful little Tiki waiting for her Daddy to come and get her "Home"! Shascha so patiently feeding her. I enjoy every bit of this video! Now I understand how Tiki become to be. :) ♡xox♡
Great video Rick, traveling anytime with a pet out of the country, is like rolling the dice, you never know if even the proper paperwork will get you through. Stay safe and fair winds.
Very informative video. I was rather surprised that you were able to travel with Tiki from country to country with such ease. I never been able to enjoy that freedom with my own companion bird as I was always told he had to be 'quarantined' for an ungodly amount of time. Therefore someone would care for him while I was away. Although it's been a few years now, I also had a difficult time finding an airline that would allow him to ride aboard with me instead of being stuck in cargo. As of that date Delta airline is the only one that would. And in order to get through security without him being ex-rayed I also had to submit to being strip searched. I also carried him in a pet carrier very similar to the one you are using in this video. Happy to see every thing worked out. Enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing.
so happy you got your FID Tiki ! she looks so well balanced rick and i can tell you have been cuddling a lot ! She is so relaxed and at 4 months shes not a teenager (i just heard) LOLOLOLO I AM SO Happy Rick, Hopefully congo's will be bumped up to appendix 1 on the endangered species list because in the wild they are not populating as fast as they are being harvested TIKI TIKI TIKI!!!!!
The airport never seen so un personel never been to usa airport but to singapore 4 times kuala lumpur 2 penang 6.. Hope it is not a trend in usa (spelled small letter un personel way) to stay.. good thing in asia you thoose want pc? or real human? i have so many good human in mind when i close my eyes at night real souls i met on the way that is the way traveling is sopost to be AEY !! Rick y got mail from me !! (and yes a sampel of Denmark it will be ) ohøj to all !!
Too cool Rick. And wow how time flys. I remember Shascha coming on board, but hadn't realized it's been this long ago. Almost a year now isn't it? Seems like just a few months. Good things always seem to go by fast. Very nice.
Wow thats so cool Rick !! Im sure Tiki will love her new home , it appears she loves you already !! lolIts also cool to find out your from Barrie , just a hop from where I am lol
Ahoy from Toronto Rick. Very nice video. Remember I had previously asked about Tiki's arrival in the Caribbean. So thanks for that. Just curious, you were able to check Tiki in as "carry on" in the cabin and park on your lap ??? I am surprised. But very cool via WestJet.I too was curious when it was mentioned Tiki was a teenager. So I looked it up and African Greys can live up to 60 years as pets in captivity. Bottom line is that your little parrot girl is truly a baby !
This was a great video. I enjoyed seeing your family in.Canada. They seem like a very fine family. It's so funny that your sons are so tall....lol. Maybe sometime both your sons can be with you on SSL.
This is a lot of fun to watch. THANKS ! You are very lucky. I actually see the technology that is evolving as a threat to the natural and vital statutes of social interaction between humans. One high altitude EMP blast will indeed toss us all into the stone age without verbal and physical interaction and dexterity capabilities if this keeps rolling ! PLAY OUTSIDE ! TALK TO THE NEIGHBORS ! GO SAILING ! Go FOR A HIKE ! NEVER SIT ON YOUR BUTTS ! ! ! That's what we did as kids. . . . Wow. We are SO SPOILED today. And everybody in my big family over the age of 12 is taller than me. That's a lot of people starting with all 31 of my 1st Cousins . . .
Like you I am very concerned about the digital development, not that I do not embrace new technology but people almost do not talk anymore. I tried to talk to a complete stranger in the airport, he looked at me like I was embarrassing him. All I asked him was where he was going🙁. Great watching your blogs! All the best from Denmark
I keep my CS27 at the downtown marina. No the best spot on Simco but the price is good comparing to the others. Winds are mostly E or W which means you have to tack 100+ times to get out of the bay.. )
Gorgeous, Rick. They do bring a lifetime of enjoyment and companionship and every one has their own personality. Always wondered what happened to your other one? It was never explained as far as I can recall.
Yes, Lucky passed away the day after I got a terrible food poisoning and was down for 48 hours.. we never knew exactly what happened or if it was related. :(
Really enjoyed this one Rick as I, myself, am owned by an African Grey. So nice to see your old stomping grounds and to meet your family! Does Justin have any plans to join you on Sophisticated Lady? Will always miss "Lucky." She was one in a million!
You were lucky at customs in the island. In Canada did you have to get the parrot inspected at the port of entry and have the CITES permit and docs to travel? I had to quarantine an African Grey Parrot for a month and cost me $2k for federal inspections. This Quebec might be different. All the best with the new addition to your family
Yep, airport prices here in NY are like minibar prices at a good hotel. They have brought some really good restaurants into Kennedy Airport, but you pay through the nose! Most of the cost goes to the high price of rent.
I’m curious. Do you have or have you considered creating a video on traveling via boat with a patriot? How well does Tiki handle being on a boat? And what about the nightmare of getting a pet through customs?
Airport prices really suck. Just a heads up for the next time you travel, go to ebay and buy an airline club pass for pennies on the dollar that allows you to get a decent place to hang out and free beer.
Tiki is adorable and I'm so glad you were able to bring her to St. Martens. Please, it was not a "rescue" but an adoption. Rescue is not a catch-all for purchasing slave animals, it's for animals (and they're slaves, make no mistake) who are in dire need of a decent home due to substandard housing or homelessness. Not simply young animals bought off a breeder.
I understand you completely, but this 'rescue' was from an overzealous abundance of grossly misdirected and misguided government intervention... for a fee of course.. yes, don't forget the fee... you can do anything you want, as long as you pay the fee...
Rick, if you downtown, let me know. Meet up for a pint. WHOAH, $11 for a 16 oz. Sam Adams? And I now realize this was back in June. We got some snow over the past 3 days. I could have used that pint.
Tiki flies all the time, that's why I haven't been able to take her outside much yet.. if she flies off, she has no idea where to fly home to, so she would be dead within 48 hours trying to live in a world she's completely unfamiliar with
I think of the bar ipad is more efficient and less errors the other thing about airports is that everything is more expensive in there especially international ones
Air Canada terminal has iPads for ordering now too and they are over 10 bucks a beer. Training ended at 3pm and the turkeys booked a 9pm return flight with a 2 hour drive home. Expensive day :P
I got say I think you have point, people, regardless of politics, are losing touch with reality. Social media is creating echo chambers everywhere. Which is why I am boat shopping and hopeful will escape the Hotel California and join you in a few.
When paper-back books first started to reach the general population, the older generation complained about that ruining people's ability to communicate, too ;-P All I know is, I've met plenty of grumpy bar-tenders, even though I've yet to ever order a drink from an ipad.
yes, and I remember when the first generation of smartphones came out with integrated cameras, and everyone said that was the 'end of privacy'... now it's drones, Lol
I'm watching this for the first time, and I agree with your assessment that we're slowly losing the art of actual communication. It's terrific that you did all that to rescue Tiki. Do you fly back to Canada often to see your family?
I'm sad that I'll need to find a new home for my lovely lilac-crowned amazon this summer before I buy and move onto a boat in the Caribbean. :( But it's what it is best for her, I don't think she'd enjoy boat life.
you never know.. just introduce it gradually and you might be surprised.. a life with daily adventure and change sure as heck beats sitting in or on a cage looking out the same window with the same view everyday! :)
That's true! However, she's an un-banded rescue bird whose species is on CITES appendix I. Unfortunately probably not a challenge I should be tackling while I get into the flow of living on a boat.
you can get her banded as part of her registration, or micro-chip implanted for easy identification at any major port... all helps, but yes paperwork will always be an issue
don't think I'll be buying a Jeanneau 64 anytime soon... can you imagine triple the operating costs for a bit more space that you don't really need?!? :)
Good point inwasnt aware it was triple the costs Why arent they designing them more efficiently Why isnt running costs being trimmed down? By yachtie firms? As designing a boat to be more efficient not less i would have imagined would be any engineers goal!!
I just like the boat a lot Have no idea about its pitfalls Im sure the tgpe of guy who can afford an 1m euro price tag doesnt have to worry too much about triple running costs its merelychicken feeds to him anyway!!
people that can afford a 60+ footer typically aren't worried about operating costs... kind of like, don't buy the horse if you can't afford the hay! :)
yes "1984" by George Orwell Read it! This is the time and age we are living now Evryone with there heads down in a phone or an ipad Not longer is it about human interactions!
Unbelievable ... First off, I would be wearing gloves to use that I Pad that everyone else is sliding their germ filled fingers across. You don't know where those fingers have been. Second, I would never pay $11 for a beer. EVER...And what is the Gratuity for? The I Pad? Does it really need the money?
That's always a concern, even with wings clipped most parrots can still fly.. I have a new harness for TIKI we're trying to get her warmed up to so we can take her for walks on the beach with us.. :)
Rick regarding these I pads at airports just tell them that you cannot read and write properly then they have to converse with you. Drives me nuts talking to a robot.
hey Rick my wife and I are heading to my homeland in Dominica from berlin in four weeks,we look at your videos every day after work and it's your videos which have triggered the plan to go home this year ,brother your videos are sooooooooo amazing and beautiful we could not resist going,your work is invaluable brother believe me and thanks ,we wish you guys all the best and as always keep them coming.
Absolutely loved it Rick. Was nice to see you with your family back home and everybody enjoying themselves. I know this was from awhile back ,but it was nice to put together some of the clips from past videos. Kinda like putting together a very large crossword puzzle. Loved the trip and the rest of the video. I think you guys are great .THANKS.
Thanks Randy, glad you're enjoying the pieces of the puzzle coming together! Lol
Thanks for sharing your adventure Rick. Pretty cool to see your parents and children.....and tiki!
Thanks Brian, glad you enjoyed! :)

Thanks so much mate, appreciate your comments! :)
You do have a way with parrots, first day and on the shoulder and petting her. So cute.
Tiki liked you from the start, always a true sign of empathy in the human. I have known many birds and to see her warm to you like this, off the bat is wonderful.
Thanks Claris, and yes I was surprised how cuddly she was right away also! :)
Capt'n Rick, Honored to see your home and meet your Family Sir. Thanks for sharing!! Welcome home Tiki, cool to see her journey...Cheers!!
Thanks for sharing the journey you took to get Tiki. Nice to look back and get some history of what really happened to get on board. Brenden....Pool Shark! Nice job.

definitely not a novelty, she's my best friend! :)
Thanks for sharing your family life and to see where you grew up. it looks very midwest . Tiki is a doll and I can see your love her. I always wanted a parrot until I found out how loud they can be.
I'm rather new to SSL, so I just learned about Lucky. So glad there was a Tiki to bring home. Looks like you need each other.
Gee, Rick. This warmed my heart! Beautiful little Tiki waiting for her Daddy to come and get her "Home"! Shascha so patiently feeding her. I enjoy every bit of this video! Now I understand how Tiki become to be. :) ♡xox♡
Thanks Katherine, glad you enjoyed! :)
Great video Rick, traveling anytime with a pet out of the country, is like rolling the dice, you never know if even the proper paperwork will get you through.
Stay safe and fair winds.
That's for sure, thanks for your comment! :)
Great video showing the family side of Capt. Rick. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks Regie! :)

This one's right off the dial on the "cute meter" Rick !!! Thanks for sharing !!!
Glad you enjoyed Paul, thanks as always for your comments! :)
Another great video, Rick. Very cool to see the beginning of the Tiki saga.
Glad you enjoyed! :)
so happy you got your FID Tiki ! she looks so well balanced rick and i can tell you have been cuddling a lot ! She is so relaxed and at 4 months shes not a teenager (i just heard) LOLOLOLO I AM SO Happy Rick, Hopefully congo's will be bumped up to appendix 1 on the endangered species list because in the wild they are not populating as fast as they are being harvested TIKI TIKI TIKI!!!!!
She's doing great, so all good here! :)
That's another thumb up worthy video. Good family fun!
Thanks for sharing. :)
Glad you enjoyed! :)
Rick Moore
Will you adopt me?
I'm only 52 ...
And I look 30
:)
hmmm... Lol
Rick Moore
Don't worry, just kidding.
:)
Lol
Nice to see a flashback video, Rick. Good to be with family anytime. Have a great day.
Thanks Robert, glad you enjoyed! :)
Hey Rick , taking a break from a 12 hour study for a 50 question test. This video is just the break I needed.
Glad to be able to help Michael! :)
Very nice! seeing your families home in Canada and seeing the family. Travel with a pet can be a challenge to say the least. Thanks..
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for comment! :)
Thank Cap Rick very good show! and so cute Tiki was so calm ! have a cold one !
Thanks Bruno, glad you enjoyed! :)

Man, she took to you right away. Kindred spirits.
Yes, made me very happy! :)
amazing how affectionate and loving grey parrots are...Tiki is really a sweet girl!
Great job Rick...Love the bird!
Thanks Robert! Tiki says HI! :)
Too cool Rick. And wow how time flys. I remember Shascha coming on board, but hadn't realized it's been this long ago. Almost a year now isn't it? Seems like just a few months. Good things always seem to go by fast. Very nice.
Yes, Shascha arrived onboard a year ago next month already! :)
Wow thats so cool Rick !! Im sure Tiki will love her new home , it appears she loves you already !! lolIts also cool to find out your from Barrie , just a hop from where I am lol
Thanks Rick, and always good to hear from someone back home! :)
That was pretty cool and a different inside look at Captain Rick and family. I liked it😀
Glad to hear, thanks for comment! :)
Ahoy from Toronto Rick. Very nice video. Remember I had previously asked about Tiki's arrival in the Caribbean. So thanks for that. Just curious, you were able to check Tiki in as "carry on" in the cabin and park on your lap ??? I am surprised. But very cool via WestJet.I too was curious when it was mentioned Tiki was a teenager.

Yes, might see Justin down here yet, but he still has a couple years of school to get through before anything long term. :)
My 1st born son is Justin, w/ a middle name of Tyme. Your sons almost look like twins.
As always, I enjoyed this video and your narrating.
Cool video Rick! Interesting to see what you have to go through to bring a new crew member aboard :)
Thanks Brett! :)
This is a lot of fun to watch. THANKS ! You are very lucky.
I actually see the technology that is evolving as a threat to the natural and vital statutes of social interaction between humans. One high altitude EMP blast will indeed toss us all into the stone age without verbal and physical interaction and dexterity capabilities if this keeps rolling !
PLAY OUTSIDE ! TALK TO THE NEIGHBORS ! GO SAILING ! Go FOR A HIKE !
NEVER SIT ON YOUR BUTTS ! ! ! That's what we did as kids.
. . . Wow. We are SO SPOILED today.
And everybody in my big family over the age of 12 is taller than me. That's a lot of people starting with all 31 of my 1st Cousins . . .
Great videos as always! Beautiful.
Like you I am very concerned about the digital development, not that I do not embrace new technology but people almost do not talk anymore. I tried to talk to a complete stranger in the airport, he looked at me like I was embarrassing him. All I asked him was where he was going🙁.
Great watching your blogs!
All the best from Denmark
ASSIMULATE HUMAN!
So interesting video! your Sons resemble each other and on your! Thank you Rick!
You're welcome, thanks for enjoying! :)
What a beauty Tiki girl is! ^_^ She's lucky to have you as a paront.
and she's my best friend already! :)
Oh how I miss Canada. Nice sunny afternoon of lounging around in an adirondack chair. I live in Costa Rica now, none of that :)
Yes, but you don't have SNOW! Lol
Wonderful - as always x
Nice video thanks for sharing!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! :)
Baby Tiki is TOOOO cute!!!! I personally have a Green Conjure parrot. His name is Squawker, seed hunter!!!!
I love how you take such good care of her :)
That was funny to see you standing between your boys with them being taller than you!
I know, but sucks actually, Lol
I keep my CS27 at the downtown marina. No the best spot on Simco but the price is good comparing to the others. Winds are mostly E or W which means you have to tack 100+ times to get out of the bay.. )
Yes, I used to sail 1000miles per season on Lake Simcoe and Kempenfelt Bay... that's a lot of circles on a 20 mile lake, Lol
13:45 She has such a pretty smile.
I'm sure Jordan will appreciate! :)
It's about time....lol. Loved this one
Glad you enjoyed John! :)
Gorgeous, Rick. They do bring a lifetime of enjoyment and companionship and every one has their own personality. Always wondered what happened to your other one? It was never explained as far as I can recall.
erynthegrey Lucky passed away from I think a rare disease. Broke Ricks heart I do believe. Broke mine :(
celestialskye1 I have had my grey for almost 18 years. Her name is Eryn and it would kill me if anything happened to her.
erynthegrey Tell you what, you're not the only one. Have had my Sun Conuere for about 18 years ~my feathers and fur babies come before I do! ;)
Yes, Lucky passed away the day after I got a terrible food poisoning and was down for 48 hours.. we never knew exactly what happened or if it was related. :(
Didn't know Brenden was such a pool shark, I might have to play a round with him next time I see him :D
I was wondering how long you had Tiki - what a sailor!
Really enjoyed this one Rick as I, myself, am owned by an African Grey. So nice to see your old stomping grounds and to meet your family! Does Justin have any plans to join you on Sophisticated Lady? Will always miss "Lucky." She was one in a million!
Might see Justin down here yet, but he still has a year or two of school before he could do anything longer term.. :)
You were lucky at customs in the island. In Canada did you have to get the parrot inspected at the port of entry and have the CITES permit and docs to travel? I had to quarantine an African Grey Parrot for a month and cost me $2k for federal inspections. This Quebec might be different.
All the best with the new addition to your family
We had to do same thing before we could import her to the island, but the breeder took care of all that before I arrived to pick TIKI up :)
Yep, airport prices here in NY are like minibar prices at a good hotel. They have brought some really good restaurants into Kennedy Airport, but you pay through the nose! Most of the cost goes to the high price of rent.
even Miami International was expensive, but at least the view was better! (and the temperature..) :)
Now we know what you will look like older,Haha. Wonderful life family and friends.
I’m curious. Do you have or have you considered creating a video on traveling via boat with a patriot? How well does Tiki handle being on a boat? And what about the nightmare of getting a pet through customs?
Airport prices really suck. Just a heads up for the next time you travel, go to ebay and buy an airline club pass for pennies on the dollar that allows you to get a decent place to hang out and free beer.
free beer?!? ok, now you have my attention.. Lol
Tiki is adorable and I'm so glad you were able to bring her to St. Martens. Please, it was not a "rescue" but an adoption.

Rick, if you downtown, let me know. Meet up for a pint. WHOAH, $11 for a 16 oz. Sam Adams? And I now realize this was back in June. We got some snow over the past 3 days. I could have used that pint.
Love the Tiki story
Cant wait to meet her ;-)
You'll be seeing her soon Henrik! :)
Rick and his son with the blonde hair. Twins. Cool!!!
I have more sun bleaching going on.. Lol
Trying to watch from the beginning of SSL 1. Got to SSL 13 and can't find 14. They are all over the place in Videos, Oldest. Any suggestions.
What island is that at the 0:36 mark? It's absolutely beautiful.
I remember when my orange winged amazon was a baby there so cute , how come tiki never flew away on the boat was her wings clipped ?
Tiki flies all the time, that's why I haven't been able to take her outside much yet.. if she flies off, she has no idea where to fly home to, so she would be dead within 48 hours trying to live in a world she's completely unfamiliar with
welcome home Rick Im also from Ontario Canada just down the 400 the 401 to Guelph
Thanks! but this was filmed last June.. :)
Good choice of beer
Always wonder how Tiki arrived on the boat, They have a great demeanor.
Yes they do, very amazing birds! :)
Hi I really like your vids, but cant find the episode after this SSL 13, where is nr SSL14?
amazing vid rick
Thanks Kanan! :)
great video, your boys looks like you..
Thanks, and glad you enjoyed! :)
I love it!
Thanks Denise! :)
I think of the bar ipad is more efficient and less errors the other thing about airports is that everything is more expensive in there especially international ones
Awesome family!!
Thanks Will! :)
Tiki cute, home sweet home!
Yes, glad you enjoyed! :)
I keep my Catalina 30 in that marina in Barrie!
28 bucks for 2 beers? That's highway robbery! Jesus, least it would keep you from getting too drunk lol.
that's for sure, can't afford to drink beer there! Lol
Air Canada terminal has iPads for ordering now too and they are over 10 bucks a beer. Training ended at 3pm and the turkeys booked a 9pm return flight with a 2 hour drive home. Expensive day :P
Awsome!😎
Thanks! :)
I got say I think you have point, people, regardless of politics, are losing touch with reality. Social media is creating echo chambers everywhere. Which is why I am boat shopping and hopeful will escape the Hotel California and join you in a few.
best of luck on following your dreams... keep on chasing and you'll get there! :)
When paper-back books first started to reach the general population, the older generation complained about that ruining people's ability to communicate, too ;-P All I know is, I've met plenty of grumpy bar-tenders, even though I've yet to ever order a drink from an ipad.
yes, and I remember when the first generation of smartphones came out with integrated cameras, and everyone said that was the 'end of privacy'... now it's drones, Lol
Recognizing good old Barrie... )
Yep! :)
I'm watching this for the first time, and I agree with your assessment that we're slowly losing the art of actual communication. It's terrific that you did all that to rescue Tiki. Do you fly back to Canada often to see your family?
10:16 its Tiki time!
Nice period
when did you do that video? Your next rescue should be get me out of the rat race ; ))
That was last June... shall we put you on the list? Lol
ON THE TOP OF THE LIST!
:)
I'm sad that I'll need to find a new home for my lovely lilac-crowned amazon this summer before I buy and move onto a boat in the Caribbean. :( But it's what it is best for her, I don't think she'd enjoy boat life.
you never know.. just introduce it gradually and you might be surprised.. a life with daily adventure and change sure as heck beats sitting in or on a cage looking out the same window with the same view everyday! :)

you can get her banded as part of her registration, or micro-chip implanted for easy identification at any major port... all helps, but yes paperwork will always be an issue
Love for the birds! Why did you pick THIS bird ?
you can replace where the jeanneau 64 was with the sophisticated lady
stripped out of cse!!
don't think I'll be buying a Jeanneau 64 anytime soon... can you imagine triple the operating costs for a bit more space that you don't really need?!? :)
Good point inwasnt aware it was triple the costs
Why arent they designing them more efficiently
Why isnt running costs being trimmed down?
By yachtie firms?
As designing a boat to be more efficient not less i would have imagined would be any engineers goal!!
& you wonder why i sea kayak we dont have to get involved in any of this jazz!!
I just like the boat a lot
Have no idea about its pitfalls
Im sure the tgpe of guy who can afford an 1m euro price tag doesnt have to worry too much about triple running costs its merelychicken feeds to him anyway!!
people that can afford a 60+ footer typically aren't worried about operating costs... kind of like, don't buy the horse if you can't afford the hay! :)
I'm here cos that parrot .
Hey Rick, love the vids, keep 'em coming. I notice the Canadian flag , are you from Canada?
thanks
What happened to your other parrot?
that is the other parrot this was the vid of when tiki first came to be with Rick
No, there was another African Grey, wonder what happened to her?
That was Lucky, she passed away just over a year ago after 16 years onboard with me. :(
Sorry to hear that. I have a soon to be 17 year old Congo Grey. May I ask what happened to Lucky? She was so young!
Was never really sure, I got a bad case of food poisoning one day, the next day when I got up she couldn't walk.. went very fast after that...
yes "1984" by George Orwell Read it! This is the time and age we are living now Evryone with there heads down in a phone or an ipad Not longer is it about human interactions!
seems so long ago now....HEY! YOUR SUPPOSED TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE FOOT ON THE GROUND SHOOTING 8 Ball! That was a Fouled Shot! LoL.
We allow the rules to be broken when needed.. ;)
Unbelievable ... First off, I would be wearing gloves to use that I Pad that everyone else is sliding their germ filled fingers across. You don't know where those fingers have been. Second, I would never pay $11 for a beer. EVER...And what is the Gratuity for? The I Pad? Does it really need the money?
I know right..? my thoughts exactly, Lol

$11 for a beer, really?? OMG!! You get to KEEP the glass??
Got to be the most beautiful parrot. But way out of reach to most here in Australia. Going price is $5000-$7000, lot of money for a pet.
Wow, that's for sure!
michael wilding Geepers!
I would forever be afraid that she would get a wild hair one day and just fly off... I guess there's nothing you can do about that.
Geoff Jacobs Of course there is. Wing clipping is the best way to prevent that. ;)
That's always a concern, even with wings clipped most parrots can still fly.. I have a new harness for TIKI we're trying to get her warmed up to so we can take her for walks on the beach with us.. :)

Rick regarding these I pads at airports just tell them that you cannot read and write properly then they have to converse with you. Drives me nuts talking to a robot.
