Sunday is My Special Day!

[Talon]

Hi fellow flock members. This is RIkki.

 

I LUV this room. A secret place with no parronts, now if I can only keep Nilah away, she can be such a brat. More about what it's like living with her later.

 

Sunday is MY special day! It will be 4 years ago that I was brought to this home by my other parronts. I remember it was a long car ride, they put me in a tiny cage, and put my own room into their car. I like car rides, so I whistled and chirped the whole way. After what seemed like we'd never stop, we did. I didn't know what we we doing but they took me out of the car and carried me into a house I had never been in before. There was a lady there who seemed kind of sweet and nice. They put me down, said some words I didn't understand to the new lady, kissed me, petted me, cried and left......it didn't make me sad, cause that was my third home and I had only been there 5 weeks. They didnt like my whistling and thought I was too noisy.

 

So here I was, in another home.....wondering how long I would be here before I went to my next one. I spotted a smaller grey in a cage across the room so that was cool. We whistled back and forth. The new lady opened my tiny cage up, said some words to me, offered me a little treat and I marched out of mycage right up onto her arm. There were playstands, and hanging stuff all over the house. Pretty cool I thought.

 

Oh, and not long after, my momma as we call her bought me a mansion!!!! I felt pretty special. My wings were clipped and I had never flown, so I sat wherever she put me for a long time. I would watch the other grey they called Talon fly and wished so hard I could do the same.....but when I tried, I went a tiny distance and crashed onto the floor

It took me about a year and a half before I could fly and go where I wanted to. Boy was that fun!!! I felt like a whole new bird!!!!!! Life was great!!!

 

BUT! I was waiting for the day when I would be taken some where else. I liked this lady and her kids, but I was very afraid to love her. See, I had loved a man and a woman very much when I was a baby living with them. They had me for a year and half, then the man died, and the woman gave me away. I missed him so much, I loved that family.

 

After I was in my home now for 2 years, I startled to realize that maybe I was gonna get to stay here. Momma kept telling me this was my forever home. I didn't know what forever was, but she sounded reassuring. I finally after a couple of years decided, maybe I should love this family too, maybe it WILL be okay.......so little by little, I allowed myself to love this family.

 

Well, Sunday will be 4 years, and I am still here!!!!!! I am very happy! I love all my family.

 

Momma used to tell everyone I was moody, she was right, but what she didnt know was I was happy and loving one day, then remembered that I was gonna be made to leave, and I would get mean and nasty the next. This lasted about 2 years......it took momma a long time to understand why I was moody, but now we are all one happy flock!!!!!

 

And the best part????? I now know what a forever home is....:cool:
