Mr. ‘Crazy’ Parrot has invited two of the neighbourhood chickens over and they are having a meeting on the balcony. So this is his plan – he is trying to enlist local support and turn public opinion against me. Hmm, I know these chickens. They are well known trouble makers. I often hear them crowing well after sunrise.
I can’t hear what they are saying but I’m sure this is not a social gathering. If it was, Mr. ‘Crazy’ Parrot would be passing round little plates of bird seed. No, he has asked them here to talk about me. No doubt he is boasting that he pecked me on the nose and telling them that I dribbled on his head. If I hear one laugh or snigger I’ll………..no……..(deep breath)…….I must calm down.
Okay, they have gone now. Mr. ‘Crazy’ Parrot is looking very smug. When I asked him about his meeting (from 10 cm away) he smiled in a sly way and said it was ‘no big deal’. Ha! I have no doubt they have hatched a fiendish plan but I’m not worried. I will be ready for them.
I don’t believe it! I have just checked the balcony and the chickens have left one of their children behind! I can’t believe how irresponsible they are.
Well, no good will come of those chickens associating with Mr Parrot. If they weren’t already poor parents, his influence will no dobut turn them bad.
I think the only hope is if you take in that poor defenseless egg and add it to you flock. I’m sure you would do a good job of keeping it warm & safe. It wouldn’t hurt to have a feathered friend on your side?? (Once the egg hatches of course.)

Good idea Annie but unfortunately the egg fell apart in my mouth and slid down my throat when I picked it up! They are not very well built are they?
That is a very unfortunate thing to have happened. Purely accidental I am sure ……….. 😉

Bird Brains!
They have brains Rumpy? If they do they have evil genius brains like the ones you see in James Bond movies.
I agree: adding the egg to your one-sheep-flock and breed it yourself might be worth a try.
Too late Puzzle – I ate it! I regret it now, it might have grown up to be a good ally.
good solution ^^
You know, chickens are push-overs for veggie scraps and other fine and tasty items. Mr. Parrot’s measly bird seed is NOTHING compared to high-quality food and I bet you could win them over to your side with no effort at all.
Oh Sage, the plot has thickened. I have just averted a coup!
