The Parakeet Sings

The Parakeet Sings

 

She was a vocal part of the family

Singing there all her days

She green and yellow very beautifully

And eating fruit in her cage

 

All the days she was a twitter

As if breaking news

The excitement there very contagious

With the dog excited too

 

Both the little pussy cats

Loved to paw at her

As if they ever had a chance

With a bird that uttered words

 

Occasionally she would say

There wasn’t enough room

And I heard that she said

She’d be leaving soon

 

She lived there many more days

In the childrens’ minds

And  they recalled that fateful day

She broke free and climbed

          HI WC ~ love PARAKEETS especially in the Wild ~ or a big Bird Sanctuary ! My Parents have a "natural aviary" outside their French Window and get over 25 species in a Year (they are near the Coast). They have trees and bird~boxes (Blue Tits this year !) feeders and bird~baths ! They have an eco~pond with a Waterfall all the BIRDS love it. None of my extended Family have ever owned a caged bird ! Thanks for caring & sharing ~ Yours BRIAN

            Thanks for your comments, Brian. Here in East Texas there are only caged parakeets, and they're mostly bought from pet stores. It would really be exciting to see one in the wild. There used to be a Carolina Parakeet, but it went extinct. Thanks for sharing~ WC

            Good story told in a fine way. In the UK we have colonies of parakeets in some places, they came about from escaped pets. If you walk through Hyde Park in London you can see hundreds of them.

              Thanks, Goldfinch! I can only imagine what a colony of parakeets looks like although I have seen them on TV. I'm sure they've escaped in the US, but I have not heard of any significant in number.
