Monday
I just love my new playground. Problem is, the pesky parakeets love it too. They keep landing on it, and playing with MY toys, climbing MY ladders, sitting on MY swings, and eating MY food. Dad, darling, wonderful Dad, made this playground for ME! ME! ME! ME!
I go after the budgies, but they are swift! Sometimes I manage to grab one by the feathers, but they always get away.
Today, I managed to catch the blue budgie, Polly, by her paw. It was fun. She screeched and yelled and fluttered her wings like crazy. I shook her around a little…
Unfortunately, Mom wasn’t impressed. She yelled at me. The blue mess got away. She flew over to Manuel and complained to him. He couldn’t stop consoling her. Worthless flying balls of feathers! What makes Mom like them so much? Humans are insane!
