Great Blue Heron
A magician was performing on cruise ship and each night while performing his pet parrot keeps saying:
“its up his sleeve”
” its in his pocket”.
“its in his shoe”.
“in his pants”.
Etc. and the magician was loosing his patience. one night while performing his tricks the ships boilers blew and the ship sank, the lucky magician was able to grab onto a ships table and float on the sea for a few days. the parrot in the mean time seemed non plussed and was looking quizzically at the magician for a few days whilst drifting. On the 4th day the parrots looks at his master and says:
“I give up… what did you do with the ship?”
Interesting Fact: Great Blue Herons have specialized feathers on their chest that continually grow and fray. The herons comb this “powder down” with a fringed claw on their middle toes, using the down like a washcloth to remove fish slime and other oils from their feathers as they preen. Applying the powder to their underparts protects their feathers against the slime and oils of swamps. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Great_Blue_Heron/lifehistory )

We had a parrot that could talk in my high school biology classroom. The students taught it to swear about our teacher. Nothing quite like sitting in a quiet classroom taking a test and having a parrot swearing about the teacher (until he covered the cage).
Now that is really fun. Hahaha thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your story with us. 🙂
