Parakeet Rat

If you had a parakeet that liked to talk, would you keep it in your bedroom?  Probably not.  But that's exactly what my aunt and uncle did.  They used to have a parakeet that would say, "that's preposterous, birds don't talk."  It said some other stuff I don't remember, but you get the point--it's skills of mimicry were outstanding.  This would make most couples (I hope) think of keeping their bird in another room, lest it embarrassingly rat them out as they show off their birds skills.  Apparently this was of no concern to them, which was also ratting them out in a way that is more sad than embarrassing.  I suppose that I shouldn't jump to conclusions, and would probably be better off never thinking about it again.  But it's kind of funny, so I can't help myself!
