•Prepare stuffing, and remove parrot from edge of stuffing bowl and return
him to perch.

pan and return him to perch. Have another cup of coffee to steady your
nerves.
•Remove parrot's head from turkey cavity and return him to perch, and re-stuff
the turkey.
•Prepare relish tray, and remember to make twice as much so that you'll have
a regular size serving after the parrot has eaten his fill. Remove parrot

•Place roasted turkey on a large platter, and cover beak marks with
strategically placed sprigs of parsley.
•Put mashed potatoes into serving bowl, rewhip at last minute to conceal beak
marks and claw prints.

way to hide the areas of missing marshmallows.
•Put rolls in decorative basket, remove parrot from side of basket and return
him to perch.
•Remove beaked rolls, serve what's left.

it to the refrigerator.

reserved for host & hostess.

plaintive cries of "WANT DINNER!" from the other room.

when my parrot gives me too much trouble, I mutter about parrot soup. some times it works.

what is really strange, though, is that parrots really,really love to eat chicken and turkey, and vegetables...

it is cannibalistic  to see, but my macaw will hold a drumstick and shake it, chuckling with glee.

And there are times I mutter about more than one way to skin a cat. That usually gets a reaction!

Good one!!

yeah, they know. maybe not the words, but the attitude gets through.

an old friend of mine heads up Chatham County Animal control these days, John Sauls. years ago, he told me, they need us more than we need them.

now, John loved his dog, and his dog was beautifully trained. but that was the basis of it.

I have remembered it many times over the years.
