Old Sparky Bird
Now Playing: Vanessa Mae-Four Seasons
I went into a Bird shop today. Lovely birds, lovely big birds. I've owned a blue front parrot, a grey cheek parrakeet or parrolet and a blue crown conure. Of the three, the Blue Crown Conure was my favorite. Back in the dim past I worked in a pet store and it was back when the wild birds were brought in from the shipper directly. It was a shipment of such bird, of Blue Crowns that had my Sparky bird in it. A bunch in the cage, I had opened it to feed or water or some such thing and Sparky walked up my hand and onto my shoulder. Well that was it for me. I had to buy him and so I did. Quite a character of a bird who seemed to like nobody else but me. I distinctly remember his little eyes, dilating orange eyes and how he would bob his head up and down. Well, I saw a couple of Sparky birds in the pet shop. OF course, being the way things are, they looked just like Sparky. Those eyes and that sleek head and pointy beak. It brings back happy memories.
