Parrots!
Despite having been owned by a Quaker Parrot for over a decade, it was only this week this that I actually saw the rare (mutant!) cousin of my Puck. I was looking at cages with Evil Lurker last weekend and there's no way to go into a pet store without stopping to look at the birdies. The blue ones look like this. Pretty! I like green and I wouldn't trade Puck, but there's something about the blue ones...
Actually there's something about all Quakers. You've got to love a parrot that is illegal in some states because they are too hardy to die when they end up in the wild. And by wild I mean places like Brooklyn where they eat abandoned pizza slices and infest the telephone poles with their nests. And y'know taking baths with starlings or just hanging out in the snow, having apparently forgotten they're parrots.
WEIRD! But very cool.
