Lovely quotes:
“To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.” ~ Mary Oliver

"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." ~ Dalai Lama

“Time is a created thing. To say ‘I don’t have time’ is to say, ‘I don’t want to’.” ~ Lao Tzu

Squeaky

December 27th, 2008 by Fond of Snape

Squeaky’s on the right; Alex on the left. Squeaky was a grey cheek parrotlet I had back in the 80s…he was the most amazing little bird! You could tell him to play dead and he’d lay on his back in your hand and close his eyes…but every now and then he’d peek to make sure you were still there.

   I have to admit that birds make me a little nervous. Weird, huh?

   I think it’s this very tendency to be more adorable, clever & witty than I that makes me not own a bird…

   You must be quite confident

   We have a wonderful place here, a boarding house for exotic birds where the public can go interact with them since parrots are so social. My kids absolutely loved it when they were younger.

    Awesome! I have often thought of getting two birds ….but I doubt I could find a bird that peeks!

    I really like birds…and obviously they’re way more intelligent than we give them credit for. Cool trick with Squeaky…which btw was the name of the budgie i gave my nephews, their first pet when they were just little tadpoles.
