You have a lively way of telling an anecdote, milking it for humour along the way! You make it easy to imagine the scene. It sounds as if that pernicious parrot may have had pirate blood. Definitely not of the Pretty Polly variety!

HAHAHAHAH!!! Pirate blood!! I SOO going to remember that term every time I think of this vignette for the rest of my life now, tfawcus!! Thank you!! It replaces the heebie-jeebies with humor.
Thank you for this really nice review. I appreciate it. xo

Rachelle, I enjoyed reading this amusing story on the hazards of being a music teacher. Who would have thought it could be so damaging to your health. I chuckled at the thought of you being attached... sorry. I look forward to the next instalment of what lesson you may learn from other animals that have a mind of their own. Well done and thank you for sharing. ~DD

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
LOL! I just love it! You're lucky to know such a talented parrot. If you want revenge, teach it some offensive words and remarks. Act innocent if accused. Hmmm... On second thought, with a bird THAT smart, Claude will simply TELL the matriarch that you taught him to say those things. Better not risk it. :)

HAHAHA! You are SOOOO right! It would be like this: "$^*@+=~$#" Blame the piano teacher! AWWWK! Blame the piano teacher!"
Thanks for the hilarious review, Phyllis. xo

I would have been terrified. Your short account had me thinking with a visceral reaction to seeing Hitchcock' s "The Birds." Seeing Kim Novak BEEing attacked by those winged evil birds put off any hope, as a child, that I would ever warm to the idea of an aviary pet! Your writing is so conversational and interesting I wish we could meet for coffee and chat!--Karenina

African Greys have a reputation as being one of the brightest of stars on the avian spectrum. You could probably have given it voice lessons. Bit late I guess now that you've upset him. :(
