get a parrot

I want to get a parrot, too. Petco has the most gorgeous baby Conure in their store now. Only $580. Ha. I can afford that like I can afford anything over $100 right now. Not at all. I’ve developed this fascination with birds lately that I can’t explain. I see beauty and take enjoyment in the banterings of our two little parakeets, and love listening to bird songs on early morning walks. We had a parakeet that talked, for almost five years. He died shortly after our dog did, last year. I think he was as lonely for ‘ol Hoover as I was. Still am. We got two more parakeets, so they could keep each other company. They don’t talk, or want to have anything to do with my hand in the cage, but they respond to our voices. I could teach a parrot to talk, I know I could. I love birds. I love dogs. I could probably love a cat, too, if I ever had one. But that’s not a big want. A hamster, or a gerbil, I could love them too, but their little wants. The conure parrot and the dog, they are big wants.
