7. Nice pictures but Parrots make me sad....
When I was about 4/5 years old I was visiting my aunt and uncle, they had no children. My uncle was a long haul truck driver and gone for weeks at a time.

He had a pet parrot named Percy who could talk. Man, he loved that parrot! Percy was allowed out once or twice a day in the closed up house to fly around.

Well, I bet you can guess the end of the story.

I opened the door.

Percy flew away.

This is not one of my better childhood memories. I can still feel the fear and the sadness. Because Percy didn't know how to live outside on his own.

:cry:
