Thanks for the video link @Bunniekins. Love to hear Aboriginal stories.
I used to have a pet galah. He was so talkative. Would really keep people entertained. He stayed with a neighbour when I went away. He came back after a few days saying "ahh choo - bless you". One of the kids had a cold. He also learnt a swear word. Ignored him when he used it.
I don't have a pet bird anymore. I miss having one.
But as I sit in my backyard now, I can hear 5 different bird songs. Just focusing on listening to their singing - is meditative and relaxing to me.
