Mind you wash your hands well when picking dandelions, and, keep your fingers out of your mouth. They will make you wet the bed. That's what my mother always told me. That took me back a bit OP - yes I remember my mam saying that too, though dear knows why...we lived in the middle of Newcastle, not many weeds never mind flowers there then Dandelions are diuretics, if you eat them, which you can if you choose, they will help remove fluid form the body. Hence the connection to bed wetting. Toby, the African grey is 17. Max, the Macaw is 18 and will live around 60 years Merlin will live 40 years.

Ah thanks for that so there is some truth in what some call 'old wives tales'. Your parrots are quite young hope you have many happy (noisy) years ahead

Our Zoo....brilliant...thoroughly enjoyed it, British television at it's best (I may be biased!) It was based on fact though, so just goes to show what can be done with perseverance and some friends - in the right places
