This pink cockatoo is not particularly funny, but it’s an adorable bird. I believe these parrots are called Major Mitchell’s cockatoos. I took the photo during a parrot exhibition a few years ago.
Now, I am combining Carol’s Wacky Wednesday with Kim’s Color Crazy Challenge. However, this time the parrots won’t be wacky, but we are going to be. If you want to see some funny parrot videos instead, check my previous posts:
Cute and Funny Parrots (Part 1)
Cute and Funny Parrots (Part 2)
My question for you today is what weird habits or hobbies you have. Years ago, I used to collect photos of lighthouses and benches. I don’t know why, I just enjoyed looking at them. Something strange I do now is I have a hard time throwing things that have a pleasant scent. For example, packages of washing detergents or condiments like cinnamon and vanilla, perfume bottles, etc. I just keep them as air fresheners for a few days before I throw them. What about you, are you going to share something unusual you do?
Also, check out my post called Weird Things People Do.
I hope no one feels upset when I combine challenges, it’s just that my mind likes searching for connections between things and jumps from topic to topic.

I collect arrowheads and rocks. I am a rock hound from way back. Come to think of it, even at four, my dad and I used to go on arrowhead hunts. I also collect fossils and pretty rocks to put in my fish tanks and yard.
I love the bird you shared, they are super funny, and so beautiful. I love watching them dance to music. 😉
That’s awesome! I love collecting stones, seashells and things like that, but we can’t find fossils and arrowheads here. It’s really amazing that you can find such cool things there!
Parrots are hilarious no matter what they do, I love them.
I do not know. I collect glasses and mugs to drink also postcards of the places I visit.
These are common collections. Thank you for sharing an interest of yours!
I collect things but I don’t consider them weird evn though others may think so. I collect clocks, salt and pepper shakers and I used to collect barbie dolls.
That’s awesome! I also like collecting things, but I guess it depends on the items whether they are considered unusual or not.
I can’t find any weird habits I have. Maybe it was weird that many years ago I used to collect empty cigarette packs!
It’s fun to collect things. I used to have many colections too. 🙂
The bird looks beautiful even though it is pink. I used to collect ballpoint pens with black ink. I still don’t know why I was collecting this. 😊
It’s fun to collect things. I used to have many colections too.
As a girl, I had a hobby to collect match boxes. This parrot is very sweet.
Thank you for sharing! I used to love collecting things too.
I haven’t come up with an idea, I haven’t been able to find the weird things that I do from my perspective, but it’s entirely possible, weird is my middle name.
It’s good to be a little bit weird, it’s what makes us interesting. 🙂
You’re right, being a little weird, it makes us interesting but too much weird like me will piss people off while I don’t know what’s wr🙂ng with me.
There’s nothing wrong with you! Those who are not weird are suspicious. 😀
I love that cute little parrot , the color is so lovely. I am crazy about plants and I collect more than I can grow.
I love plants too. Mostly, being surrounded by them, because I am not very good at taking care of them, haha.
thank you for no wacky parrot videos, although I did put my coffee cup down before opening your posts.
a strange thing or weird thing that I do um, nothing.
ok i know be honest.
the weird thing I do – i collect dolls from an old Christmas special – Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.
I love raindeer ornaments and figures. Does Rudolph have a special symbolism for you?
that old TV show was the one I waited for every year. i started collecting the stuff and my wife started giving me the characters.
I love the Bumble!
That’s awesome, I enjoy collecting things too.
what is your favorite collectIon? or thing to collect?
That would be minerals and stones, because there are not two identical ones.
i have my father’s mineral collection – do you have a picture of your collection? my dad loved agate! Oh and Geodes!
I have taken photos of some more interesting ones. Moonstone and labradorite are my favorite.
for me it is finding fossils in limestone! i love that – my dad and I did that all the time when I was little!
You found fossils by yourselves? That’s amazing! Such videos often pop up in my feed, but I thought they may be staged.
where we lived they were cutting through hills for a highway, dad and I used to go all the time and find fossils.
I have a weird habit of chewing papers and sometimes swallowing them. Such habits are known as Pica.
Thank you for sharing an unusual habit of yours! Have you tested yourself for mineral deficiency? I had a childhood friend who used to chew leaves and it turned out she had iron deficiency, if I remember correctly.
I haven’t tested if I have deficiency in minerals. Thanks for reminding me. I will have to prepare when to visit hospital. It has reminded me of pregnant women here who resort to eating a certain type of soft stones to replenish the lack of minerals.
The body works in amazing ways to take care of its health.
What an absolutely adorable cockatoo I love that pink I would like to have such a bird. I used to collect rocks I picked up along the way. It was as if some called out to me.
That’s wonderful! I have a rock collection too, I also collect seashells.
I would rather call it a weird habit than a hobby. I mess up my cupboard but get happiness putting it back in order (lol)
I can relate to that. Best two days before I mess it again. 😀
Many of us often combine challenges. I love this photo. Thanks for the mention. Not sure about weird hobbies, I used to love collecting ink pens I would get from different people.
Glad to hear that, thank you so much! Collecting ink pens is fun, did you also use to match a pen with a particular type of paper? I had a friend who used to do that.
