Here's an idea: put them in a room with an open window. That'll thin the herd

"Flock", I think, not "herd". Though "thinning the herd" is an apt metaphor.

And I never metaphor I didn't like!

/ow, I stretched something on that one.

I'd give you +1, subby, but Fark considers me to be my husband's alt and won't let us both vote on a headline.

/He gave you +1, fwiw.

Keats?

famouspoetsandpoems.com

Yes, a poet is essential for complete home comfort, and all-year round reliability at low cost. We in the East Midlands Poet Board hope to have a poet in every home by the end of next year.

Poets are both clean and warm
And most are far above the norm
Whether here, or on the roam
Have a poet in every home.

Wait. Assuming a para-keet was, on average, half of a keet, then wouldn't there be 41.5 keets, once you've got them all assembled? I feel really bad for the .5 keet.

Here in college there's a flock of parrots flying around. It makes for the weirdness of the place, but it's awesome to be in campus around at 5 o'clock and see 6 or seven of them squawking and flying around.

Lately I've also seen a parrot making friends with a crow. Wheird.

 
EuroTrashGrrl 2008-09-28 12:53:04 AM  
Admittedly, that took a second to sink in. I'm tired. Still, nicely done, subby!

I heard somewhere that you can just flush them down the loo.
