Dear Friends,
I once had a talking parrot. Mr McBird was very talented and spoke many words. The local TV station wanted to do a piece about him and on the day they showed up he was found deceased in his cage. I was sad but remembered I had a VHS recording of Mr McBird speaking and wanted to show it to the reported who agreed to watch the video tape. I had watched this tape several times before so I knew what was on it however when I played the video it only showed only my bird chirping and not talking. I was totally shocked and checked the tape over and over thinking it must have been another tape or it was altered in some way.
I miss my old friend and to this day I refuse to eat fried chicken or turkey in memory of Mr McBird.
