Pickles The Parrot: A Humorous Look At Life With An African Grey - Plot & Excerpts
No getting around it. If you own a bird, it’s something you learn to put up with. In the wild, they poop to get rid of the extra baggage for fast take-off, flight and safety. Over time, Pickles got pretty good about holding it and not just releasing his bombs all helter skelter but there were many episodes early on. Poop decorated floors, furniture and clothing. I don’t know how many times I’ve been out in public only to return home and discover a nice gooey blob on my arm, shoulder or chest that I hadn’t noticed before I left the house. Nobody ever says anything. They can’t help but see it but you’re not given the chance to explain—no, I didn’t just hork all over myself. Pickles turned out to be a very finicky eater so we were always looking for new and innovative ways to get him to eat the things that were good for him. Like most parrots, he showed his displeasure by throwing food. We didn’t always have the time to clean up after him so his cage, the walls and the floor were sometimes mottled with dried up scraps of food.
