I had another parrot named Dawn who was supposed to be the companion for Mad Max.  Females parrots have a tendency to be less flashy and very rarely talk.  Dawn was never satsified with being in her cage and I strongly suspect that she had come directly from the wild.

In order to keep the bird’s inside the cage and not fly away, you have to clip their wings. Clipping a parrots wings is not that hard considering they fit in the palm of your hand and are pretty gentle twoards their owners.

Parrots have a tendency to perch themselves on one of your fingres and happily be there for hours.  However, if you do not clip their wings they might fly away

We had Dawn for several weeks when my mother clipped her wings and a series of events happened which for some reason we forgot to clip her wings again.

One day the cage was left open so that we could clean the inside and Dawn flew away. I watched her go and i thought it was the most beautiful thing I ever saw . I watched her till she dissolved in the distance.  I always wondered what became of her, and if she led a good life. Whenever I looked at the sunsets and watched the birds flying past me, I always wondered if she was a part of that. I hope she was and that she led a full and wonderful life.
