Meet Chicken Noodle, my pet parrot-well, the family parrot really.

Why the name Chicken Noodle?

Well, we couldn't decide on a name as a family and as a rule of thumb I tend to call any pet bird I have a chicken. We had several names to pick from, including Skittles and Sneakers, but Chicken Noodle stuck and totally matches the birds personality!

If you know me well, you know I've had parakeets since I was age 9 or 10....growing up, our next door neighbor Mrs. Williams had a parakeet. I looooooooooooved her parakeet..it was SO smart and it would pick up toothpicks and drop them off of her table and carry them around....and do things she told it to do. I thought that was the best thing in the world for a pet and I had to have my own! Well, that's how my love of parakeets and birds started. Since then I've had countless parakeets with one of my last parakeets living over 13 years! That was a pretty good life from what I've been told. There will be more about my parakeets later. :)

We've moved up a little now in size, brains and color to a parrot. This was dear husbands idea...which is beyond me! Chicken Noodle is hilarious. Really...! So hiliarious I've decided to start adding to my blog 'The Adventures of Chicken Noodle'.

What kind of parrot is Chicken Noodle?

A Yellow Bellied Caique. Though this bird is not from the wild or wild caught, but hatched here domestically in the United States. They originally come from South America.

I get the question all the time...is Chicken Noodle a girl or a boy?

Well in short, we don't know! That was part of the delimma in naming the bird to begin with. We could have a DNA test done...or we can wait 8 years to see if the bird lays an egg! :) We are just going to wait it all out and see if we ever have an egg. Do we have any idea if the bird is a girl or boy...? NO, not really. Sometimes the bird acts like it could be a girl and sometimes a boy.

How old is Chicken Noodle?

We don't have a birthdate or anything for Chicken as we fondly call the bird, however, when we got the bird in November 2009, we were told it was around 5 months of age....so really we could say we are coming up on a one year birthday! Can you say party! :)

So stay tuned...for the time of your life and follow The Adventures of Chicken Noodle (soon to be made a major motion picture event (I'm sure)).
