Now lemme come 2 d parrot's story. 4m my childhood Im a good birdwatcher. I can easily identify around 200 varieties of birds. I've got Salim Ali's book "The Book of Indian Birds" 2 4m BNHS. Wen I was in 2nd std my dad bought me a mynah wid its cage. It died after a few days. But cage was rusted, in rest, 4 d rest of years, dumped somewer in our store room. In 7th std, I found a parrot made a nest (its a big hole) on d top of a coconut tree in our land. U knw,mynahs never make own nests. Usually they attack other birds n conquer them 4 nests. I really wished c hav a parrot. One day, sill dont know I cleaned that old cage b4 going school. By d time I returned, I saw 2 baby parrots in it. Wat hapnd was a mynah attakd d parrots & threw out its 3 babies down. One died on d spot. 2 were rescued. One was called "achu" & other "revu". They didnt even open eyes. That smal they wer. Revu died aft 2 weeks. Achu was healthy. I taught her a few words. She used 2 cal al family members by name & identify. An year passed. Then in 8th std Malayalam text buk I learned a story about a fairy bird "chakoram" which decided 2 sacrify its freedom 2 save his love&kids. It was like the chakoram bird makes nest wid chitraka plant roots which can turn iron 2 gold. So a hunter tries 2 steal its nest. It had its wife & eggs. Last d birdie sacrifices its freedom,goes with hunter like a prisoner, in its cage. Later he sets it free. However dis story made me to think about d birdie lockd up in our cage. I also set it free. Next pet was Lemo. Now dont know who wil b d next!
