Avian Wisdom


Although we say many wise things, the humans do not understand us, because they will not take the trouble to learn our language. That is a worrying characteristic of humans--they insist that others "understand" them, but rarely make the effort to assume another's point of view. If the female had made an ounce of effort in understanding the psittacine languages, she would know that I am trying to alert her to mouse activity just on the other side of the wall in the garage. It will be only a matter of time before the rapacious murine makes his way into the house, in search of our seed. And then--mouse-a-rama!
