Cal: “A parrot?”
Tal: “A paaaaaa-rot!”
Cal: “Why?”
Tal: “Wiiiiii-eee — not!”
Cal: “Nice flowers.”
Tal: “Nnnnn-issssse flowers!”
Urania laid her head on the table. “Perhaps we should just let today’s art speak for itself.”
Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.

Timely as spring appears here in the South and the birds return, the odd thing is that I heard a cock crow for over 90 minutes. First and only time that has happened here on my street.
Nice flowers *and* parrot!
Birdsong is sweet, but my favorite local bird is a mockingbird who will occasionally do a “news, traffic, and weather” segment in our yard. Just talking, no song, non-stop commentary (information?) in a language I don’t understand.
