Oh I feel so bad now.
Henry and family have been "bird-sitting" my budgie, Cloud, since last Monday and she was returned home to me this morning amid tears aplenty from Henry who idolises her even after these few short days.
Somehow though, Cloud has learned a few NEW phrases during her 'holiday away from home' .
Before she left her vocab was limited to "Shit", " No" and " Shut Up."
Now in a mere 6 days she calls out "Henry," "Dougal" the name of their dog and is able to whistle about the first two bars of 3 of Henry's favourite tunes.
To cheer Henry up as best I could I PROMISED him that ANY time I need to go away or go into hospital ever again HE will be Chief Budgie Sitter.
