Parrots Are Not To Be Confused With Dogs

A few tips.

If you take a parrot for a walk there’s one thing you’ll need
and that’s a very long lead
because a parrot tends to fly
higher in the sky
than a dog does.

And when you throw a stick
the parrot may well perch on it
and if you shout ‘Fetch’
bear in mind that the parrot’s the only pet
who will tell you to ‘Fetch it yourself, buster.’
