My Parrot

My parrot loves to squawk and talk but even more that that she barks just like our doggies and meows just like a cat. she loves to whistle many tunes but sometimes makes you frown by screeching while you’re on the phone, to make you put it down! I'd like to gag the pesky thing so she could never speak. But I cannot find a gag so small it fits around her beak. So we have to sit and bear the noise of her shrieking in our ear unless of course we let her out and watched her disappear. But alas she cannot fly she's much too blinking fat: for every time we have some food she screams as well for that. Maybe one day she'll whisper when she's really, really old. But these parrots live for seventy years or more, or so I'm told! Ivor G Davies
