Squid Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 My friend Dan has a cockatoo that he's training to clip bolts. It almost works, but the damn bird keeps backclipping. I told him he should've got a parrot instead. Quote
nolanr Posted April 5, 2003 Posted April 5, 2003 I saw on tv there's a kind of parrot in New Zealand called a kea (or kia? spelling?), it's the only alpine parrot in the world. They're very intelligent and very mischievous, tear the hell out of cars at ski areas, get into food and gear. I think we should introduce those to N. America, let them have turf wars w/ crows and ravens. Battle cage. Quote

fleblebleb Posted April 6, 2003 Posted April 6, 2003 Fuhgeddaboudid the tape is there to write the owner's name on. Matching tape with handwriting goes on butt to help out belayer. Quote
Dru Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 Keas are like winged snafflehounds. They think its funny, to fly above you 5 pitches up a 10 pitch face, and drop 1 lb. stones onto your helmet. Quote
MtnHigh Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 Train them to skirt shit on Mazama parties. Don't look up or you'll get an eye full. Quote

How many people have you maimed at the crags when you knocked something off, hollered "STONE!" and no one knew to duck and cover 'cause they had no idea what you were yelling about? Quote
