Hello friends! As my first post, I’d like to do a callout to Huey, my feathered life partner who died last year from cancer. Miss you bud.
Dad bought Huey from Big Wally at the Jet Strip in 1984. It took him a bit to warm up to me initially, but after a few months, we were fast friends.
Things Huey loved:
- Popcorn, ice cream, pizza, hot dogs, celery and peanuts
- Mimicking my laugh
- Brushing his beak with his own tooth brush and mint toothpaste
- Taking a shower with me
- Walks in Central Park, where he’d say “hello” and “goodbye” to passers-by
- Blonds
- My makeup brushes
- Birdbaths with the vaccuum on
Things Huey didn’t like so much:
- Men
- Birdseed
- Dental floss
- Being home alone
- Skateboards
- Loud music
I miss you too little buddy. Even when you used to bite my ankles to get attention. Hope birdy heaven is good to ya.
Have you ever thought about having a serious relationship with someone NOT a member of the animal kingdom?
Huey also loved me – or at least my hair. I loved him right back. We all miss him so much, he was a most excellent bird.
