Here’s an airship I made with my burned-out-and-left-my-academic-job energy.

It nuzzled my hand and also began tearing apart my watch strap.
Now I had a familiar, so I was well positioned to set out on an Adventure!
But since it was a bit late in the day for that sort of thing, my wife and I posted on FB and contacted local vets to try to find the owner. 4/

It was a parrot of a kind I wasn’t familiar with, though I’ve since been told it is a blue-fronted Amazon. It was undoubtedly someone’s pet. Not just because it spoke, but because it clambered down through the bush towards me, then leapt onto my arm. 4/

So it wasn’t that surprising to hear a parroty call coming from the bushes this afternoon.
It was more surprising to hear a little voice call, “Hello! I love you!”, something I hear all too rarely while hanging laundry. Wary of fae mischief, I explored until I found this specimen. 2/

The Tale of the Parrot
I live in suburban Sydney 🇦🇺 We get all kinds of birds here, including a bunch from the parrot family: sulphur-crested cockatoos, galahs, and rainbow lorikeets. It’s not unusual to see one in my backyard. 🧵 1/
