This poem was created for my one yr old SIE. Diet can really make a difference. A variety is great but make sure your bird is eating what he needs as well as what he likes. We were killing ours with kindness.
Archibald
I have a friendly little bird
With feathers emerald green
And everywhere that we can go
The bird, he can be seen.
With pantaloons of green and red
And wings of blue and black
His name is Archie and he loves
To chortle and talk back.
He'll mimic you, he'll mimic me.
He loves all sounds - squeaks - ticks.
He squawks some too and whistles sweet
And coughs just like he's sick.
He's just a little bird, you bet
As anyone can see.
A sweetie-pie and darling friend
To both his "Dad" and me.
Just an Eclectus some would think
Barely a child today.
A life-long companion, forever young
The BEST for Mother's Day.
We went to see the birdie Doc's
With questions left & right.
A check-up seemed in order
As his plumage was a sight.
He gave us quite a scare, he did
And now we'll change his ways.
Clean bill of health is what we want,
A Gift for Father's Day.
