Damn Parakeet

I love animals. Ever since I was a child old enough to want anything, I have always wanted and had pets. Unlike most children who got pets and then after a short time became disenchanted with or indifferent to them, I was always conscientious in my care of whatever animal was currently in my ongoing menagerie.

When I was much older, I worked for about a year in a pet store that specialized in exotic birds. The owner of the store, Garrett, was an ornithologist by training and so bred and hand-raised all the parrots, but the store had many other different kinds of birds as well: finches, lovebirds, lories, parakeets, cockatiels, cockatoos, and once we had an enormous blue macaw. Working for him, I learned much about birds and bird care.
