The 'Romantical Boids'

[ccthemovieman-1 · 6/10 · 31 March 2007]

Olive is doing her spring cleaning, including giving a long kiss to the picture on her table of lover-boy Popeye. She notices her caged pet bird "Juliet" looks depressed. "Of course, she needs a boyfriend," deduces Olive. She calls up Popeye and asks him if he could find her bird a boyfriend.

"Sure, does she want one that's tall, dark and hands-come or does she want one that looks like me?" laughs Popeye, who then goes down to the pet shop looking to find "a romantical boid."

Popeye seems to have a made a good choice, bringing back "Romeo," but the female bird quickly starts nagging Romeo and he flies out the window. Olive, in her typical fickle way, tells Popeye to get the bird back or she'll never speak to him again.

Popeye must find and get Romeo back. The cute ending to this saved it from being nothing special.

This nature picture accurately depicts the need to stuff . . .

. . . any lovebirds you have hanging around your house full of green, leafy vegetables, such as spinach. Though LOVE BIRDS will eat figs, fruit, seeds, grass and even insects in a pinch, if you want your feathered friend to attain its full lifespan of 30 years, keep its spinach coming. Lovebirds are among the smallest parrots, making them particularly subject to drowning if the guys in your house do not put down the toilet seat. Since lovebirds pair up for life, and often spend three or four hours at a time sitting together while attempting telepathic communication, they are considered among the better songwriters in the Animal Kingdom. These tiny parrots have replaced the passenger pigeon as the most commonly observed avian critter found in the wild nowadays throughout much of the American Southwest.
