Spring Rain

by Shadow

Outside the rain is coming down,

Splish-splashing as it hits the ground.

Inside, where I am warm and dry,

From my perch I watch the drops fly by.

The rainfall turns the whole world green.

The prettiest color I’ve ever seen!

Rainy Day

It's cold and gray outside, but I'm snuggled up inside with my person, a cup of tea, and some walnuts. I can't think of a better way to spend a rainy spring day. How about you? What do you like to do on rainy days?

It's Winter

I woke up this morning to find a whole bunch of that scary white stuff all over the place outside. My person says it's just a dusting. Dusting or not, you won't see me going outside until everything is green again like my pretty feathers. And even then I might not go out much. I didn't go outside in my carrier a lot last summer. I mean, why do that when you have a nice cozy cage inside and food dish that's always full?

Rain, rain, go away

It's been nothing but clouds and rain and cold weather all week long. When, oh when will it warm up again so I can go outside in my carrier? Sigh. There's not much a little green parrot can do about it but chew a few popsicle sticks and wait patiently. On a brighter note, I experienced a new treat for breakfast this morning -- stewed rhubarb with yogurt and a little bit of cereal. It wasn't bad. Also my person and I have been eating lots of salads. I just love love love shredded carrots. Shredded red cabbage isn't bad either. So I guess behind every cloud there is a silver lining, or at least a tasty treat to eat.

Rainy Days

I just love rainy days. Don’t you? They are a good time for dreaming. I stand on one foot on my perch and close my eyes and dream of the rain forest. Everything there is green (like me!) and you can always hear the sound of water dripping off the leaves. You can also hear parrots calling to each other (my favorite sound!) and monkeys chattering and all sorts of other interesting animal noises. To be honest, I’ve never actually been to the rain forest, but I like to think about it. I know rain forests must be wonderful places because lots of parrots live there. What do you like to dream about on a rainy day?
