This one involves my recently departed Blue Crown, Briana. Bri was a very loud and clear talker, who actually sounded human. I was having DSL installed for the computer and the phone jack was next to and beneath her cage. The man from the phone company was down there wiring it up, and Bri climbed down to see. Loudly she asks, "Whatcha doin?" and I answered, "He's fixing the computer." This guy jumped so high, it was like a cartoon. He looked at me, then looked at the bird and cracked up. I think she made his day.
She also made the day of a salesman who was trying to sell me another aerial photograph of my little farm. This is very popular in rural areas and every few years, one shows up. I told him he had to ask Briana if she liked it. So he showed her the picture and she trilled out, "Prrreeettttyyy!" I said, well since Bri wants it, I'll guess I'll buy it. He was so thrilled he kept showing her other pictures in his portfolio but she didn't say much about those. He wanted to know why and i said, well, she doesn't know those houses. Before he left though he said, "I really enjoyed meeting you and your bird! You're both very funny!"
I miss Bri so much. I still can't tell her stories without crying.
My little Booma is so cute. She will chase you around her little cardboard box on the floor and then crawl right up into your arms. If you lay on the bed with her she crawls up into your armpit and she will let you scratch under her wing to which she flips herself onto her back and grabs your finger with her foot lol so adorable!
He was sweet and kind. Guavo continues to be that kind of bird. A couple days ago when I was worn out and recently returned home from work we rested our eyes together-well, I rested my eyes while Guavo burrowed and slept under my neck, burrowed in my hair 30minutes later, burrowed in my arms a little later. I am so fortunate to have my little Guavo, my sweet little feathered friend.
