Piaf

I bought a bird once a parakeet from woolworth looking so sad in its cage and that was the start of my aviary as it needed company I got it a mate a nest with eggs ensued they hatched ugly as hell they endeared my heart begging for food from both parents sadly daddy landed on the alligator swimming in its huge tank sharing a brick wall with many more I already had the sea lake and swamp a tv lost in the middle making it hard to focus on a movie in my house the music playing the world it was a paradise where kids will visit as by them I was known as the bird lady showing them nature in the tar streets of a block taxi driver we left behind and the prostitutes welcome for a shower any time they desired or a nap well I regress to the nest the mother with no mate abandoned the brood and I had to take over the multiple feedings day and night out of three only one survived under my watch to get a name as he was so tame flying to his world to greet the birds and mingle always coming back to me not afraid of humans as the finches hopping are harder to understand but plenty in my house just a curtain to keep the kitchen clean the five and a half rooms became one as walls were taken down and freedom from cages if not natures as an open window will not do but better than the zoo
