Who Knows What Lurks in the Den
Life with parrots can be silly! My small parrot, Dr. Who is too smart for his own good! He has learned to open his birdcage which requires pulling a bar to the side, then lifting it up. He has done this several times, then the door swings open. I was starting to knit a wrap for my sister, which I bought cashmere for. I made the swatch, and then put it in my basket, and went to bed. A couple of hours later, I heard rustling in the den, papers being moved about. But no loud sounds, no sounds of objects being moved-- what could it be? A went down the stairs, and heard a little voice: "I'm Dr. Who !"--- but it wasn't coming from the birdcage, but somewhere else in the den. I went into the den, snapped on the light, and there he was, sitting in my knitting baskey, nesting on cashmere ! Well, I guess that beats a hard wooden perch any day. Dr. Who makes comments that many times make sense--- when he sees the news commentator Peter Jennings on TV, he yells "Yeah, right!" I have the bad habit of yelling at the news (so now I just check Reuters on the computer , the newspaper, or PBS-- the flashy/glitzy noises and graphics distract me, and I like to hear 2 sides of a story! ) but if Peter Jennings appears in a short prootional ad for the news, the bird still may pipe up "yeah, right" when it suits him. Both parrots love Italian food-- we give them just a little bit, but they seem to enjoy it! Mamma is a "bird brain".....
Vash:I'M NOT GONNA TOUCH THAT ONE
WITH A TEN FOOT POLE!
I love watching the birds outside the kitchen, feeding and watching the ducks, and the parrots. Tone I am watching the sunset which is softer in colour tonite, like a watercolor, rather than the riotous colours of a month ago. It is dusk and stars will be coming out soon.

I really enjoy reading everyone's posts, seeing the art, and reading comments. There are a lot of people with a great sense of humour, and that really makes my day. I guess that my writing tends to be on the serious side a lot-- I wish I could write many more funny and creative things. But I guess it takes all flavors to fill the Ice Cream store of Life.

Love and peace to everyone. Friends truly are the best part of life!
