The Art of Having Fun

Have you ever watch your parrot having fun.  We could all take lessons from them.

Pipsqueak and his flips, Mr Abbey and his companion Dusty at “play”, Josie and her constant battles with bells, these budgies know how to have fun. Kiki learning another language besides Budgie and English, and singing, not because he has to but because he wants to.

They are making games of the simplest things; there are no cries of “MOMMY, THERE’S NOTHING TO DO!”  They simply take a toy, converse with a friend or sing; they just have a good time with whatever comes their way.

We can learn so much about the pleasures of life, the enjoyment of the littlest things by watching our parrots at play.  Do you remember the last time you had fun?

When did you last sit down to enjoy a good meal?  Watch your parrot, even the smallest seed brings them happiness when they chew over and over again, just like gum.

It is hard when the world crowds in and so many demands are placed upon you, maybe it is time, we rang a bell, did a flip (though for some of us maybe not) or talked with a friend we haven’t seen for a while.

Watch and learn about the sheer enjoyment of life, after all aren’t we all parrots at heart?
