OK, so - Yup, this is Officially Off-topic! Well, kinda...
Nope - its NOT a 3D Printed Bird - its Me with a new Friend at my New
Job - as we are doing a Selfie together - and He Agreed its OK that I
took the pic. Seriously - he did NOT Squawk at the chance to be on camera!
Now - that being said...
Yes - its me at my new job - a Bird Hotel!
I interviewed last week with the owner woman. And, I told her about a
lot of my 3DP endeavors. Now, folks now about the Enable project, and
also stories of dogs, duck - and, I think it was a sheep in a Chase bank
commercial - with a 3DP prosthetic. Well, turns out - there is a Parrot
with a deformed foot. And, she spoke to me about 3DP'ing a plastic foot.
Cool - right?
Should I do it?? Of course! Would it end up being News Worthy if it
worked? Absolutely!!!

Actually, no, the actual job is feeding birds and cleaning cages!
Prosthetic is only potential side project...

The white bird, today, as I was trying to clean its cage, or feed it, it decided it wanted to come out. And it literally got on my hand cleaned up my arm then literally curls up on my chest and Cuddles up under my chin! It's pretty cute!
The little gray guy, he's kind of my best friend at the hotel! He's always dying for attention, and he insists on hanging out with me! He does a funny thing where he puts my finger in his mouth, licks my fingertip, pulls back, leans over, then shoves the back of his head or neck against my fingertip. He's incredibly friendly, and incredibly cool!
And, last but not least, this incredible looking bluebird is a new customer at the hotel! This is a $15,000 bird, and yet is so friendly and I was petting its head, and it's really big, and it's really incredible looking! Needless to say, it's even more incredible in person.

That bluebird looks gorgeous! Only question left now is how long until your transformation into a pirate is complete?

Good Stuff! I do remember the sketch. Am tempted to send this email to one of my co-workers, and he Does have a sense of humor. FYI - I'm the ONLY One working there who does NOT own a bird. This co-worker I speak of, young 19 year old dude - he has a little bitty bird - and a big Macau - and he goes to the part with his Macau. Too bad I never got a chance to hang out with him in the park with his bird!

I wasn't sure of the version, but I was pretty sure it was an MBI!

I lived in Britain for a few years. The phrase "exotic birds" brings something entirely different to mind.....

Hahahaha, quite right! Most 'exotic birds' of that nature come with significantly less plumage!
