I prefer “Vacuum Cleaner, sucks up Budgie” As seen in the April 2010 issue of In Touch Weekly.

Or the same one, I can’t speak Japanese. Actually, probably a different one than MVP’s Louie. He doesn’t use the cheater binding made out of a shoe. – Thanks to Stephanie Murdock for the tip.

I sat on the story of Gordo the skateboarding parrot, but it blew up after he was kidnapped. I think the prime suspect may be the skateboarding budgies we profiled earlier. Now that they’ve got their own blog, they probably don’t want some parrot on a glorified sled stealing their thunder. It’s called Skateboarding Budgies, but you have to scroll through the most recent posts of them rocking out to get to the pictures and videos of the Budgies on Tech Decks.

Spotted on Flickr, this Russian postcard has a caption that roughly translates to: When Gosha received a new skateboard he thought it was the best present in the world. However, within half an hour he realized that the best present would be new frontal teeth. Unlike the monkey made famous in Big Brother who appeared with Ryan Sheckler and Bob Bunquist in MVP2: Most Vertical Primate, this monkey doesn’t need a special snowboard style binding for his front foot. My three year oid kid would watch that damn movie 24-7 if I’d let him.

The ASPCA blog has a video of a skateboard being mobbed by a bunch of puppies. Kind of reminds me of the street section at the skatepark. Awwww ♥♥♥!!! Trish McMillan, ASPCA Director of Animal Behavior, took this footage while conducting a training session with the pups. She says she uses it with every new litter of pups they get in. “It gets them used to novelty, skateboard sounds and moving surfaces.” View the clip after the turn.

Fingerboard industry sure has been good to all the small birds who have always dreamed of taking up the sport. Why should dogs have all the fun? The Sun has a feature on skateboarding budgies, AKA parakeets here in the U.S.. WHO-ooosh a clever boy! A budgie proudly shows off his latest cheep trick – SKATEBOARDING. The pet is one of 13 taught to use tiny boards by budgie fan Trieste Visier, 35. It took her months – but she said at her home in Sydney, Australia, yesterday: “Training these little guys was a great deal of fun.” Her birds can even do the same skateboarding stunts as humans. OK dudes, it may not be street sport – but it’s certainly TWEET sport. Stop it! Stop it! My sides are aching…

Follow-up to the skateboarding chimp pictures the other day. MVP2 – Most Vertical Primate is the heartwarming story of a professional hockey player unjustly accused of biting an opposing team member and on the run befriending a homeless skateboarder kid and helping him to find a home, success as a skateboarder and… a sponsor! And the professional hockey player, is a clothes-wearing chimpanzee.
