I'm sure I'm not the only one to inherit a pet like that...but sometimes it gets pretty noisy! <br /><br />Yes, I would say our alarm system is quite effective! It even makes me want to run the other way sometimes!

I don't think you're the only mom to "inherit" a pet that way ... in fact, I seem to recall that *my* mom had a similar experience once upon a time. :-) Between Spike and Squawkie you have quite an effective security system, don't you!CyberSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785005260630246224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-6195295344540639662014-12-28T13:34:28.743-05:002014-12-28T13:34:28.743-05:00Forgot to include the link: http://birds.about.com...Forgot to include the link: http://birds.about.com/od/breedsofbirds/p/sunconures.htmGourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-50624182446675009082014-12-28T13:33:53.859-05:002014-12-28T13:33:53.859-05:00Hi CyberSis,
LOL...there is no reason for the red...Hi CyberSis,<br /><br />LOL...there is no reason for the red face; I actually got a good laugh because no matter what the name is, it all means the same thing...VERY LOUD and NOISY! Ha! <br /><br />Here's a link to info about the bird -- they can become screamers if they don't get enough attention. 15 years ago when we got her as a baby, the kids were still at home and she got LOTS of attention. She still gets attention, but not the amount she used to get. <br /><br />She screams/screeches/squawks at all the same things/scenarios a watchdog (Spike) does (noise outside, someone at the door, people coming and going from the house, etc.). <br /><br />So, with any of those numerous events and situations I have a screaming bird and a barking dog! LOL I can't find where I read it once before but it said that conures were some of the loudest birds in the jungle and not recommended (or allowed in many places) in condos, apartments, etc. because of their noisiness. Thus, when the kids went off to college and then moved into apartments, condos and townhouses afterward...Squawkie officially became part of my permanent family...and their lifespan is about 25-30 years (of which she has only used 15)! I keep hoping one of them will buy a house! ;-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-65262320724594096582014-12-28T00:16:29.275-05:002014-12-28T00:16:29.275-05:00Hi GGC,

It was late and my brain was fried ... much like it is right now, in fact. :-)<br /><br />We had a beautiful square grand and my dad had me playing before I could read, too. Took lessons for years, but wasn't a "natural" like he was. He could sit down at the piano and just start playing. He could play anything ... and I do mean Anything! The music just flowed from his fingertips effortlessly. :-) I don't have room for the piano anymore. But at least it found a good home at my brother's house! :-)CyberSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785005260630246224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-90527635498452603672014-12-27T01:07:19.159-05:002014-12-27T01:07:19.159-05:00Hi CyberSis,

Ha! <br /><br />It is actually a baby grand piano in the background that I have had since I was 4 years old. I learned how to play music before I could read! Hope you are enjoying the season. I spent most of today recovering! ;-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316245779890747698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-59960753759411974512014-12-27T00:29:15.212-05:002014-12-27T00:29:15.212-05:00Hi GGC,

Love the "admirers" too ... including Screechy! :-) Is that perchance a square grand piano in the background?<br /><br />Now, you know, this is only the 3rd Day of Christmas ... 9 more to go, if my count is correct, so even if it's not *technically* Christmas Day, I don't think it's too late at all to wish you a very Merry Christmas! :-)CyberSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785005260630246224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-59656328555215545742014-12-26T18:55:06.373-05:002014-12-26T18:55:06.373-05:00Hi Luana,
