A neighbour and her daughter were called away for a few days on a sudden family matter, and she asked me if I could take care of her cat and her parrot and collect the mail, etc. I had done the same a couple of years ago. This involved me stopping by twice a day to feed and water them; to play with the cat a bit and to try to achieve some sort of détente with the parrot.
The other day, I was attending to the parrot when the following events took place over about two seconds:
The phone rang.
I wondered why there was a phone in the parrot's room.
I could not see a phone.
I realized that the sound was coming from the parrot.
As luck would have it, Bob, the women came back a day early, so if another dastardly plan was in the works they were unable to achieve it. The mother laughed when I told her about the incident, but has promised that my next two haircuts are on the house (she has a barber-shop).
The parrot is in cahoots with the cat!
