Speaking of the parrot conspiracy, while I was reading the article about the ringneck parakeets setting up colonies in England my ringneck, Isidore, flew over to look at the article with me. I guess he’s quite pleased at the success his British pals are having at taking over England. I hate to think about what HE is planning for this country.

_Sycophant! Traitor!_

Oh, you’ll be singing a different tune when the Parrots take over! You’ll welcome them when they’re plucking out your eyes with their nasty, sharp, pointed beaks! _I don’t think!_

And have you notices their talons? Quite dextrous! Oh, yes. They’re plotting our doom, and they have the “hands” to carry them out! _Ku-RAWK!_
