For a change I woke a bit early today. As I was walking towards the door to pick today's newspaper, I heard a slow knock on the door. I immediately opened the door and to my surprise it was a parrot. The cat which was about to attack it, was also surprised, seeing me it just ran away. Before I could understand the situation, the parrot ran past me and hid behind the Television stand. I locked the door and the windows and woke my two kids .Then went around the stand to see the parrot. It was not hurt but its wings have been cut. So it was clear that this bird must have been a pet and had escaped.
My kids couldn't control their excitement, they wanted to touch the bird but it was so scared that it stayed behind the stand and gave a small sound. After a long time, it came out and started looking around. We gave fruits and nuts for it to eat. Finally it settled itself in my bedroom and had a walk on the window grill, that is when we took a photo . The whole day ran very fast with this new arrival. By evening we got used to its presence and started off with our own day to day work.
Next day morning , our servant came with the news that one of our neighbours is looking out for a lost pet parrot. Oh no!! we all felt so sad to part with the new arrival to our home. I took the parrot myself and gave to my neighbour. She thanked me and said that, they had all decided that the parrot is gone for ever. I had a last look at the cute surprise , which I met yesterday.
My kids started pestering me to buy a new pet parrot but no, I don't like the concept of keeping birds in cages. A single day of surprise visit by a bird was more than enough for me, it was nice and exciting , that's alllllllllllllllllllllllll.
