Parrots

Full of colour and so very gay my voice it can be very shrill keep me happy so i won't stray See my feathers all in array I sit and watch upon the sill Full of colour and so very gay Keep that beak of mine at bay I can use it with such great skill keep me happy so i won't stray Now watch my fancy foot play as i sit here and preen a quill Full of colour and so very gay so just sit and watch my byplay its fun and will give you a thrill keep me happy so i won't stray thus my joy for you I will relay fill my tray you know the drill full of colour and so very gay keep me happy so I won't stray

G'day Shadow... Like the set out of your poem and you tell the story by a parrot so well. I suppose I'm lucky on some days. An Eastern Rosella turns up and sits on a fence facing my computer window and watches me. Enjoyed - Lindsay

ty Lindsay I love parrots and I used to have two Barrabands and a scarlet Pennant they are fascinating birds I would love an African Grey but at nearly 65 it would not be fair as it would outlive me hugs
