"Fingers Beware, These Parrots May Bite"

Spontaneity was the the name of the game this Thursday. After submitting my assignment I decided go to the aviary at the Dunedin Botanic Gardens. On my walk over there was a couple with their daughter, who at most was three years old. They were walking in front of me and the father would stop to pick flowers for his daughter and then put them in her hair. The dialogue between father and child went a little like this:

Father: "Where are we going?"

Child: "To see the birdies!"

Father: "Where are we going?!?"

Child: "TO SEE THE BIRDIEEES!!!"

Father: "What sounds do the birds make?"

Child: "SQUAK! GAW! TWEET! TWEET!"

It was much cuter in person, but I thought I would share the story. I saw them later on and the little girl was saying, "Daddy, that bird has wings! FLY FLY BIRDIE FLY!" It was GREAT.

Here are some pictures of the birds:
