Yes today is Spanky’s Birthday. He is 10 years old today
He has been Birdzilla
He is always watching me run the trains, either from one of his preaches or my shoulder. [8D][:p][:D]
He like playing with our trains also [8D][;)][^]
He is so very cool [8D][8D][8D][:p]

Happy birthday Spanky!!! Stay indoors today…very cold here in Ohio, and try not to eat to much cake!!!

Hello Spanky![bday] Hope you have a nice one and many more to come!..Keith
Happy birthday to my favorite train-bird - I hope he gets a great treat today!
Happy Birthday Spanky!!! Hope it’s a good one and you have lots of fun with Tom! Already a decade old. Wow! How the years fly by (no pun intended).
Happy Bday birdie. hope yr next 90 yrs on this planet are quite a lark.
Tom, not speaking from personal experience here, but I do know some other train guys who wi***heir wives were as interested (or at least as understanding) of the trains as your bird is. Which could raise some rather interesting questions, but I’m not going to touch that one. [:-^]
They say Birds of a feather flock together, so it looks like we are ALL in good company, including Spanky. Did Spanky get the train set of his own he wanted as a birthday gift??? [:D]
But for the board room at Lionel, this could raise some interesting discussions: If birds could talk, would they prefer TMCC or traditional control? FasTrack over 027? [8]
Happy birthday Spanky! I’m with Biranel – I wish my wife was as interested as our pets. At least the dog likes to drive to the train store!
Who will last longer, Spanky, Tom, or the trains?
My vote goes for Spanky.
My 3 love birds are going on about 4 years (not keeping track of birthdays). They are parrots, like Spankybird.
I used to let them loose in the house (before they destroyed it–but heck, it was only a rental).
Once, they moved all of the little people in my layout and stacked them in a gondola car. Amazing!
These days, BB keeps an eye on the lovebirds.
Why 3?
several years ago one escaped in the dead of winter. After a week of searching gave up and bought another.
several weeks later, we learned that a lady a mile away had discovered the bird in her back yard and stuck it in a cage with a Cockatoo (the 2 became friends).
So, we now have 3 birds------very noisy birds, I might add
and their life exp is something like 20-30 years
Happy birthday spanky!
Tom, does he eat cake???[:D][:P]
Hello Spanky, Hapy Birthday! [:D] Hope you have a good one.
[bday][bday][bday] #### HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPANKYBIRD
Time sure does FLY when you’re having fun!!![:D][swg]
Spanky says thanks all,
Yes Spanky loves cake and cookies. He also got his cashews. And I got him a new K-line Refer, but he said I can play with it.
tom
Oh yeah, blame it on the bird just to get a car![:D][;)] [(-D] But HE wanted it!![swg]
Happy Birthday Spanky,
Tom, I hope you got him a new locomotive!!!
