so I can’t take all of the writing credit.)
BLAZE, THE AFRICAN GRAY – 1ST OF 5 Part Parrot Haiku
The photos you will see are of my sister’s parrots.
I think they are amazing, so I decided to write a 5 part Haiku series
for all the bird lovers out there!
Imitates voices
Howls and talks with canine friends
Loves nibbling on toes
