Purdy’s Story Part 2 – Learning new tricks
I had so much fun with Purdy but eventually I made the heartbreaking decision to find her a bigger more spacious outdoor home in an aviary, because as she got stronger it was heart-breaking for me to see her cooped up in a cage and not having room to fly in my apartment. It was also heart-breaking to say goodbye, but for Purdy I made that decision, and with a heavy sad heart, I took her to her new home on 7th August with tear filled eyes.
All I can say is she enlightened my life
– extremely intelligent, loved classical music and would chirp along, she woke up with the dawn in a spritely mood, chirpy and singing
She stretched every day, and she inspired me to do the same, and she absolutely loved pomegranate seeds. She was independent and stubborn but every evening at dusk she went into a calm state, I would sing her sweet songs, and slept soundly all night.
If you are interested to know more about these beautiful intelligent birds I highly recommend watching the documentary Our Alien Animal: Parakeets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksW2E9a1Iu4
In the UK they are like bird refugees
But for sure I know Purdy brought joy to my life
And if the truth be known I still don’t know if she’s a she or if she’s male
But who cares, to me she’s PURDY a joy and a blessing
And my love for her I will always and forever be professing.
