"Mother Parrot's Advice to her Children"

Never get up till the sun gets up,
Or the mists will give you a cold,
And a parrot whose lungs have once
been touched
Will never live to be old.

Never eat plums that are not quite ripe,
For perhaps they will give you a pain:
And never dispute what the hornbill says,
Or you'll never dispute again.

Never despise the power of speech:
Learn every word as it comes,
For this is the pride of the parrot race,
That it speaks in a thousand tongues.

Never stay up when the sun goes down,
But sleep in your own home bed,
And if you've been good, as a parrot
should,
You will dream that your tail is red.

Ganda, Africa
Translated by A.K. Nyabongolla

 

 

Humans who wear glasses need them,

I will not insist on attempting to

remove every pair I see!

I will try not to be afraid of bugs

that fly by my cage and window!

 

Enjoying Spring!

I will remember the cats tail

is not a chew toy!

Just because I hear my humans' car

driving up, I don't have to let

the entire neighborhood know.

I will never again stare dim-wittedly into space when my human brags about all the sweet things I know how to say (until the other person leaves the room at least).

I will not pretend I want a kiss and then bite my human's lip.

I will not put my head down to be scratched then whirl around and bite.

Mommy should make me write on a black board all of the above. But she loves me and I am only a bad bird once in a while. Mommy loves me soooooo much!!!!!

 

Oh

Santa was

here!

I have been a good boy!!

 

 

Mom says I am so handsome, I can

knock you off your feet!!

Here I am just hanging around in

my tree!!

I would like to introduce you to my new friend LUCY.

Isn't she pretty???

I met her on my vacation in Florida!

Well thats about it for now!

Thanks for visiting me,

come back soon.

You never know what I will

be up to next!!
