Dear DiaryThis seems like a birthday colour. The big day has arrived and I got to play with my dad's gift wraps- no gift for me yet! I overheard my parents saying that I get to choose my gifts on Thursday when I am going to see my 'foster mother' at 'petshop boys'. Well, that sounds all good, at least I will pick something that I will like!I hope my dad is having a nice birthday but it is such a pity he has to go to work. I was spoilt rotten yesterday, even fell asleep on my dad's back. My mom and myself were watching National Geographic the other day. I was so amazed to learn more about other bird species. My mom tried to explain to me that the racing pigeons are so terrific which means I will have to prove myself cause see, I am such a 'spoilt brat' and though I have a lovely nature, I want all the attention for myself.To get back to the racing pigeons- there are all kinds of theories by people, in your world they are called professors that claim that pigeons find their way home by smell sense and some say the pigeon have magnets in a certain portion of the beak that connects with the magnetics of earth. Wow, I was so amazed to see the distances they are taken to and the long distance they have to fly home. There was this man in Virginia in USA that used the method of taking this pigeon's partner away from him from time to time and he also removed the female the night before the main race. The man said that will motivate the male to fly back home faster than the others and hopefully the man will win the gold! The pigeon did make it home and came 2nd out of 300 pigeons. Guess the man did not get his gold but I cannot imagine my mom and dad make me fly such a long distance and all for gold!I on the other hand have no idea how to fly because I have this lovely comfort zone. At the moment with my malting, I look as if I have been in the ring with Mike Tyson for a few rounds! I always have this "bad habbit" of "jump flying" off my tree when I get excited seeing my loved ones. I do land on my feet but unfortunately my head hits the tiles!My parents are celebrating my dad's birthday tonight- I hope they have a great time and remember to bring me a "birdie bag"! See you around and catch you later!
