No chasing, just wrapping.

I was able to take a grandparents class..... never found a class in how to wrap a birdie burrito in times of emergency.

I've been too scared to try since I learned that squeezing can kill them.

I know right? I should just let her nails curl over! :rolleyes: I mean.. you don't need a bath when you wear your lunch all over your body. :bored: I don't know why I am so mean. :cautious:

That's my Rosie. She is the boss of the flock and has been for many, many years. It must be humiliating for her to be wrapped like a burrito.

I love that Rosie.

I didn't used to have to wrap her. She is so ridiculous and dramatic in her old age!

Is she completely blind? I guess she has her pathways memorized.

Yes, completely. You would never know it when she is running around on the floor. She will chase you down if you peeve her off!

Rosie is 76 years old and blind... she used to be tougher. :rolleyes:
76? Wow! How long have you had her? Sure wish I would've realized I'm a bird person earlier in life. At almost 55 and with no children to leave a bird to, I can't see myself with another bird after TD.

Yes, Sarah, make a video. Put a towel on your head and around your waist; then, chase Sam around for a birdy burrito video. ;) Joey can film.

I think that Sarah has been associated with Rosie for 18-20 years. Anyway as long as Sarah has been doing the show at the Farm. Rosie has been a performing macaw for her entire life, until her cataracts got too bad to perform. Sarah then bought Rosie from the owner of the Farm and brought her home into retirement. Rosie and I are the same age for 6 months of the year. Her B'day is Jan and mine is July.

Hereis Rosie performing;
