Tonight, my Congo African Grey parrot, Cricket, decided that she didn’t want her usual supper of mixed veggies and pellets. She wanted to have what we were having.
So, she went and took it for herself. My daughter, Casey, was eating her chili and butter bread while chatting with her friends on Facebook. Cricket started out with butter bread. She climbed down her cage and onto the coffee table by the computer. Where, incidentally, my daughter had placed her butter bread. She nonchalantly helped herself to the bread and kept going back for more.
However, she did share with my daughter, Casey.
After all, she is a very polite bird. She is so polite that she waves when she wants her food. I’ve raised my birds and children to mind their manners. She seems to be doing quite well.
Once the two had finished with their butter bread, they started in on their chili. Cricket seemed to really like it. Props to my hubby who made it. I’m not sure who got more, Cricket or my daughter. lol At one point, Cricket had a whole beakful of chili.
After they finished with their supper, Cricket thanked Casey and gave her a kiss. It was a sight to see, that’s for sure. Nothing is better than sharing a great meal with a good friend.
After supper, Cricket thought that she’d relax with a good book. Alex, from the Alex Foundation, has been her crush for quite some time. I don’t have the heart to tell her that Alex died many years ago. So, I let her read her book and dream of Alex. She just seems so content.
