A Bird's Eye View... (Im not sure who wrote this) Tissue alert!

I saw this on another forum and I thought I would share it here.

A birds eye view

Will you take me home with you?
I can’t promise I’ll be good
No one has taught me how to act
Or act as a parrot “should”.

My first owner didn’t treat me right
He said that I was “bad”
He never forgave me that first bite
After that he was always mad.

He shoved me back into my cage
And so I started to scream
Then he hit me in a bad rage
And my life became a bad dream.

So yes I scream and yes, I bite
I’m angry and misunderstood
But please please take me home with you
Love me and I’ll be good.

Please let me come home with you
And spend some time with me
I can be sweet again
Take me home, you’ll see.

Me next owner swore at me
I learned to say things back
So now my words are crude and rude
Please cut me some slack.

If you let me come home with you
I’ll learn some nicer speech
If you are kind and give me time
I’ll change my vulgar screech.

I’m really just a baby
And so misunderstood
Please let me come home with you
I can learn to be good.

My next owner just had to have me
She though I was “way cool”
But now she doesn’t have time for me
She’s busy with boys and school.

That’s why I began to pluck
I’m not pretty anymore
I wont be much of an ornament
If that’s what you’re looking for.

I may never grow new feathers
My chest may always be bare
But my soul I know could heal itself
If only someone would care.

My last owner died and left me
She said she’d made plans
But she never followed through on them
And I’ve fallen into bad hands.

Please overlook my failings
Please end this pain and strife
Please please take me home with you
I’ll be your friend for life.

Please take me home and treat me right
And let our friendship grow
Please let me come home with you
This time it will work, I know.

You're crying a lot today!

Haha I know!

Oh my gosh, seriously, I need to quit reading such emotional things. That brought tears to my eyes. Where're the chocolate brownies when you need them?



But thanks for sharing, even if you made me sad.

OK, sitting at work bawling.... thanks

Love that idea.

Perhaps the pity factor will encourage more adopters to not act so rashly....

Nice find , Hanna. Perhaps all parrot owners too , Vikki
