Gus is on my shoulder.
Buddy's in my shirt.
If Gussie steps on Buddy
Gussie's toes are going to hurt.

I try to give each half of me,
One left, the other right.
But they are liberal birds;
For left they both will fight!

My shoulders seem the same to me
Except the left one bites.
Gus had better figure out
Buddy's territory rights!

Side bar: Buddy's doing better today. She ate more breafast this morning, returned to napping, they came out about an hour ago & really chowed down. She's napping again but I'm not as worried as yesterday. She also warned Gus off when Gus strayed to Buddy's shoulder. Gus is like waves on the shore. She heads for my left shoulder, I move her back to the right, and 10 seconds later she's heading left again. After about 15 minutes of this Iput her in the cage for a while. you'd think by now she'd learn that standing on my left shoulder either gets her bit or locked up! What is it about that left shoulder? Buddy has always preferred the left side for shirt- snuggling but I always thought that was there she could hear/feel my heart beat. But the shoulder???? Funny little birds...

i love your little poems!

i see cat and dog dedicated books at bookstores, but never anything for bird followers... you should put together a book of poetry + photo stories... i'd buy it!

cute poem!!!! and how true! It goes with the old lovie saying - what's mine is mine, what's your is mine, if I see it it's mine, if someone else has it it's mine - just give it to me, cause I may want it to be mine!! :) apparently, your flock has decided that your left shoulder is theirs!!!

I'm glad hear that Buddy is doing better today. With an old timer like her, you have to take one day at a time. :)

Love the parrot poetry! .......... Wonder if they are left winged or right winged as we are right handed or left? It would be interesting to see their reaction should you be capable of turning your head in the opposite direction..............:D

I love it! Although, sometimes, if one birdy steps on another birdy's head while in the momma's shirt, it isn't just the toesies that are gonna get bit! :omg:
