If you remember from a previous post, I'm bird sitting for Niles the parrot who belongs to my cousins Scott and Jennifer. Wow are we having fun. He is now addicted to 24 just like Alvaro and I are...he makes the 'peet peet' sound of the clock as it ticks down. Last night after his snack of apples, peanuts and squash, I thought it would fun to watch a movie together. Alvaro wouldn't be home till 9:30 so I started looking to see what we could find. The very first movie listed was Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds". I thought it was just way too perfect and I know God arranged with the programmers of MONSTER HD to include this flick; so we would just have to watch it.Creepily, every time the birds started attacking the children, Niles would inappropriately do his woman laugh. Or when the birds really got going with the squelching and screeching, Niles let loose too. I swear he had that evil eyebrow thing happening and I'm pretty sure someone went, "heh, heh, heh". (I'm well aware that birds don't have eyebrows but still)
After the movie was over I went over to his cage to see if he liked the movie and to have the all important conversation with Niles about pecking people's eyes out and the resulting guilt. He seemed to understand and said to me that he's a 'good boy'. So all is well at Hotel Cabal...for now...muuaa ha ha ha ha ha.
