in "monster" mode!

[Pips mom]

Ughhh, Pip! He's a lovie bein a lovie today! He's intent on sitting on my lamp, and of course, there's bird poop on it! but also I'm trying to talk on the phone and he won't stop going to the lamp, landing on it, screeching while on it, so I said, ok, I'll just put some newspaper on top like I used to do to keep him off it, so I put the newspaper on the top of the lamp shade........in the past this worked to keep him from perching on the edge of the lamp shade.......but not today! Today he landed on it and started chewing it up!!!! :roll: My lil monster! being his mischeivous self! Back to the drawing board trying to come up with creative ways of keeping him off my lamp!!:roll:

Gotta luv 'em!!!!!! The things we go through as members of the flock...... :D Be thankful he's not macaw size.

How about a towel instead of paper? Or is there something else that he might find more interesting that is acceptable for his mischief? Ginger and Harley (my grey team) get it in their minds that I don't mind if they visit parts of the house where I don't want them. Sometimes cage time works. Other times, they get mini wing clips. How do you stay mad at a parrot when you say no and he makes kissing sounds from the off limits location????? :confused:

Before I comment here, please note I have no clue as to the type of lamp or bulb your using. .. Be aware though, paper and cloth placed overtop a lampshade has been known to catch fire, and all it takes is a 60 watt incandecent bulb which many still use today.

I've always used the old style milk glass shades in the shape of a popcorn bowl. Birds love them because they warm their butts up. And I love them because not only do they catch most the poop, they can easily be removed for cleaning purposes.........:)

Must be something in the air today! As soon as I stepped out of my car tonight I heard the distinct racket of a wound up lovie. Since I came in the house 45 minutes ago, Ditto has been wound up, screeching and beating up his toys and bouncing all over the place! :happy::happy:

You know Dave, i'm beginning to think lovebirds aren't very accepting of the rid of daylight savings time. To be honest, neither am I.

Ohhh, don't worry about the lamp! I never use it with anything on it and Pip lands on it while it's off! I don't use that particular lamp as often........it's just a normal living room lamp!

Ditto's ok with the switch back to standard time. It's the spring switch to DST he hates.
