Dear diaryI failed to mention that in our African Grey world we generally only take to one human being at a time. My parents are very very lucky that I have taken to both, which means there is a very happy medium in this household........happy......not so sure this morning!My dad has his daily routine which I follow with him on his shoulder. He has been so sweet and kind to me I even whistled an aria to him, I think it must be from the works of Mozart because that is the only composer my mom listens to. As soon as my dad has finished his shaving, I know it is time for me to retreat to my tree or cage.My mom is a different story this morning. The old lady came back last night from my dad's celebrations with the neighbours at the Upperdek at Ushaka, I am surprised they received them back after their day out last Monday- suppose they were not all that bad! I know she loves me a lot but instead of keeping to "mothering" me she was "smothering" me last night! Oh my golly, I thought she is not going to give up!Not to worry, I have my means and ways of sorting her out! This morning she made me my usual pronutro and I had one teaspoon and then "pulled up my face" and put my foot down and refused to have more. I was more interested in playing with my dad's sock and a clothes hanger my mom gave me.I could not help to "eavesdrop" on my parents again. It seems to me the whole world is upside down. Apparantely their is a place called Zim where the poor human beings are not treated very well, they should take a note out of my parents book how to treat each other, I have no complaints! Then I overheard my parents talking about the fact that things are not too good in our own country. I know they always try and work on a 5 year plan. They mentioned 2 options, either move to Cape Town, seems to me everybody loves Cape Town or maybe Mauritius. My mom wanted to know what about me and my dad said "Barney can just fly there by himself".....not to sure about that, I hope he was only joking! In the mean time I think we just have to make the best of this lovely country! I personally love the weather. I am signing off and will keep you posted about my Thursday-visit to 'Petshop boys'. Cross your toes and thumbs that I will be all fine.
