Harvey pooped 76 times in 24 hours. The closest guess without going over was 72. So congratulations to Erin K. – you are truly a professional parakeet poop predictor. Your prize will soon be on its way : ). Thanks to everyone for playing! And thanks to Harvey for doo-ing his part. 
Wooohoo! I actually woke up this morning, told sailor to move his butt and then counted poops at the bottom of the cage to see if I was close in an eight hour period haha and I actually was!!!!……….. then i saw this 🙂 thanks michelle!!!!! im excited!!!!
Way to go!
BTW – Sailor had the same look on his face as Harvey does in that picture when I was counting poops. They must really think we are crazy 🙂
I’m sure they do!
I demand a recount! 😛
Congrats Erin!
You weren’t even close. Good luck next time.
Oh, poop! How did Puck miss this event?? He has been practicing for 2 months now. Next time.
That’s 27,740 poops a year! Multiply that by 8 budgies – 221,920 poops a year. That’s a lot of poop.
In the 19th century, great fortunes were made in the guano trade. Too bad I don’t remember exactly how, because with even one hard-working, serious budgie I could begin thinking of early retirement.
Haha from what I remember reading, there were some islands entirely populated by birds, and their ancestors had been there so long that people basically quarried hunks of old guano for fertilizer.
So…. you need to find an island to populate solely with budgies? 🙂
Thanks for the handy guano-mining tip! If I found an island populated with only budgies, I would move there tomorrow, and then close all the airports. Sounds like earthly paradise!
I totally agree with you !
