But if the much beloved bird remains on a shoulder, I fear that you would soon have something the shape of a "fly plaid" on your jacket.

Oh yes, though he is pretty good about warning us when he needs to 'go', we aren't always quick enough to realize it.

But living with parrots for years leaves one pretty philosophical about "__it happens" and baby wipes work really well for cleanup.

But I can't let him near the shoulders of my Argyle jacket, he loves removing buttons, and the epaulets are just too much of a temptation.

We've gotta love our pets!

Hi, Dale, and congratulations on your handsome kilt.
Now all you need to do is wait for your friend Kumiko to shed a tail feather, and you can wear it in your bonnet!
Kumiko sounds Japanese to my ears, but he/she is definitely African.
Regards,
Mike

Not too shabby, I wear a black commando sweater when it's cold. That and the kilt go together quite well. Anyway....the kilt looks great!!

Thanks, I'm currently looking for a Size 44 'woolly pully' in black or green. My last Canadian Forces sweater 'shrank' in the closet...

Actually I already wear 2 of Kumiko's maroon feathers and 1 of Miu's scarlet feathers in my Tilley Winter Hat:

The bonus is they keeping molting more of them, so if I get a proper bonnet I have all the makings for a hackle...
