I am too wired to go to sleep and I will be happy to answer questions if you all wish the ask me things.

I will try to answer stuff in gifs if I can.

Why so wired?

I am too, but I'm an idiot and had caffeine after 6pm.

Do you have birds?

I couldn't find a good gif, but yes I do have birds. I have a cockatoo and some smaller birds right now. I rescue/breed them, but mainly rescue. 
My cockatoo does tricks. He can bark and make laughing sounds, which is not as cool as it sounds. Especially at 9 am.

Why are you trying to horn in on all my bird-related glory?

Have you ever had sex with your bird in the room?

I ask because my sister, who is bird obsessed, once had a pet learn the phrase "kissy cock".

I had coffee to stay awake at work to do inventory. That was around 7 pm. It was not a good life choice. 
I also take hydroxicut to help me lose weight and it apparently gives me ENERGY. Too, too much of it.

No, I just... you know, my one bird is really, really smart (some birds are apparently as smart as your average 2 year old!) and... I just can't. My dog comes in. every. fucking. time. I swear to god, we can be doing the nasty on the other floor of the house and he just comes in like, "hey guys, whats going in here? Is there food?"


We have gotten to the point of barricading the door because my dog at me afterward like;

I don't have a gif for this. I actually wanted that name and was sadz when I realized it was totally already taken. 
Also... I didn't mean to. I will APOLOGIZE.

LMAO - great job with the gifs.  :Y:

And, I agree with you that birds are very smart and pick up on stuff quickly.

Didn't you do this already?

I knew they were smart, but had no idea exactly how clever they are. My cockatoo does puzzles for fuck sake. He honestly acts a lot like my 1 - 2 year old STBSS, which at first freaked me out. I'm sort of used to it now, but he still surprises me with how quick he can pick up on things. Parakeets are much smarter than people give them credit for.

Nope, I intro'd. I didn't really answer much, though.

How long have you lurked?

I honestly don't know. I mentioned before I lurked for quite a while. I didn't have as much time on my hands, so I wasn't really able to post much. I honestly found this message board while googling something, I think. So, then I started lurking. Probably like a year? Max. I wasn't here for that great exodus thing from the knot and by the time I got here the boards were super populated. 

ETA: I probably should add I'm in part not entirely sure because I've got a few months where I can't really remember stuff due to the head trauma.

What do you do? (other than bird breeding and GIF posting)

How long have you been married?

I am currently double majoring in programming/computer science in school. I also fiddle around with electronics, build computers out of spare parts, read, attempt to garden, work a boring job, make some of my own clothes, jog/work out, and love to eat awesome/weird food. I'll try damn near any thing once, food wise. 

I'm not yet married, but I am engaged. I won't actually say "I do" until after I'm out of school. I get the side eye for it a lot, but I honestly don't mind the long engagement. 

Edit: Here is a gif since I promised I would post them!
