The sixth day of the ninth month of the year of Emergence

Well, there is this problem with birds.  Particluarly those kept in captivity as pets.  And particularly our bird, "Deuce".  Because he's the second one, he gets that name.

But what about the third one?  Tripp? Tre? Tray? Trey? Three? Tres?  Thrip?

No of course not....."Hooty" because he looks like an owl and not a cockateal.  Go figure!

Duece had be sent into exile at the bird store because of his constant screaming, so he had a two week vacation.  Absolute bliss!  Well, like in all May to September relationships he found a friend....Hooty.  We got Deuce home and he seemed to be miserable, so back to the indideous bird store to get his friend and now we have two birds that frankly now can't stand one another. 

 Go figure!  It must be September...Duh!
