Frederick on Friday

This bird is my constant joy. We mutually adore.


This week he cried, "Oh, Mommy! Look at Lucy!" Lucy is the cat.


How can I look at Lucy when Frederick is around?

  1. I was wondering how Frederick was doing - such a handsome boy! Can we see a picture of Lucy too, soon? She's a grown-up young lady cat by now, I imagine. : )

  2. It's so funny, isn't it, when they say the "right thing"? Once, I was on the phone with my friend - she shut off the light switch, and I heard one say, "We're in the dark, we're in the dark!"
    Does he speak in your voice?

  3. So happy to see Frederick again! He is so beautiful. If I ever get a bird, I would love an African Grey Parrot.

  7. Poor, neglected Lucy. What cat could keep up with such a smart bird? Birds and cats...never a happy combination. I'm guessing Frederick could defend himself reasonably well, but it wouldn't be a pretty sight. I do hope they don't tangle! Can I warn against very large open-backed fans? I remember coming home and not being allowed to come in because our parakeet had flown into the fan. Bad news.

  8. Lovely! I miss my birds. Next spring I might have chickens, but they're not the same as a posh parrot.

  9. Oh, I had forgotten about Fredrick! We haven't heard about him in awhile.

    What a lovely creature...

  10. Frederick is so beautiful. Wouldn't he be wonderful to paint in watercolor? Such an incredible display of God's handiwork!

  11. I love him! I missed my Monk Parrot after he died so much. It was like losing a person because he talked to me all the time. They are such a little bundle of joy!

  13. I'm not even remotely interested in birds, but Frederick is so gorgeous. And I can't believe he can talk like that--so amazing. He's so beautiful in his shades of grey.

  15. He actually says that! My goodness! Giles isn't the only person in your house who is grown up. :)

  18. Hi, I have a cockatiel, Tweety. Not as smart as your African Gray. I just love watching them, see what they are saying. I go to the website About.com. They offer a lot,and they always have a Freakie Friday, and it is a bird. But once I get on the utube, watching those birds, especially Estiene.Bad spelling. I would love it, if you could send any pictures, what is he doing now, kinda thing. Thanks Maureen and Tweety.

  19. Oh, my goodness! How wonderful is that?! I've always wanted a bird that talked to me! My mom likes to tell the story of her great aunt who had a parrot that sang "bye, bye blackbird" and answered the door with a crotchety old "COME IN!!!!" I wish I could have known that bird!

    And may I just say that I think Frederick is the most wonderful name for a bird I have ever heard? Oh, I can? Thanks, I think I will. Frederick is the most wonderful name for a bird I have ever heard!
