The Peanut Gallery


Last night we were watching TV and Mark made a comment on what he thought would happen next. Alex was on his T-stand, as usual, and was preening his feathers. He looked up and calmly said “I think so, too” and went back to what he had been doing. Mark and I just looked at each other and grinned.



I love it when Alex does that – it’s like he’s just another person watching the show. His voice isn’t loud and he’s not excited or emotional, he’s just joining in on the conversation exactly like you or I would do. That blows me away.

One night we were watching a murder mystery and at one point some guy was killed in a vat of acid. As I was cringing Alex exclaimed loudly: “Awesome!”

Well, to each his own, I guess!!

P.S. My husband had to have an operation on his neck and has to wear a collar for 6 weeks. We were worried that it would scare the birds – after all, they don’t miss a trick and are leery of many new things. They acted like they didn’t even see it!
