cage. Yes. i was good water and il
refreshed him. but l., had never grown
out Of the idea that if lie sat in the
tops Of the trees he would drink from
the leaves.
Where the parrots come from they
always drink in this way.
Just as they had finished their
drinks they heard a patter patter, pat
ter on their glass roof
Hurry. hurry. hurry" said the par
rots. And such q hurry and scamper
and raising Of wings as the parrots
all went Up in the branches Of their
trees.
I'll be all ready" said Bluey.
$50 will l." said Reddy.
1--WE all will be, too" said the rest
OF the parrots.
Now throughout the big birdhouse
every single parrot had gone up as
near TO the glass roof as possible.
They were all sitting there with their
wings spread out wide 10 receive the
rain so they could have good bath.
For this is the bathing they care about
most.
They were also planning TO have a
drink, too.
"Patter, patter, patter." fell the rain
drops. splash, splash, splash" as
they jumped into the little caves and
scampered over the glass.
The parrots still sat with wings out
stretched. From time TO time they
looked ar each other. and saw that so
Gar no parrots wings were wet. How
very queer!
But still they all sat there patient
". After a time the rain stopped,
there was no more pattering and drip
dropping on the roof and the parrots
all let their wings down and slowly
went down 10 drink from their cups of
water and battle in the baths given TO
them by the keeper.
when will we ever learn that
rain doesn't come on US when we are
In the birdhOuse? II is like being in
a persons house. A person battles
and drinks water, but the rain doesn't
come through the roof on him" Bluey
said this with his head on one side
and his eyes blinking wisely.
Yes" said Reddy. 1--WE never can
forget the ways Of parrots when they
are wild"
But IL is the same with those who
have never been wild" said Bluey.
THE parrots which have been born
here act the same way. And we're all
naturally tame-it's not because we
are wild-it's just because we do love
natural rain water"
81 suppose ii is said Reddy. But
II does seem strange to see the little
parrots which were born here doing
the same things as parrots who were
taught their lessons far, far away"
ITS just the nature Of parrots" said
Bluey. But every time We do the
same thing and every time we get
fooled"
81 don't believe we'll ever change"
said Reddy. when we hear rain we'll
be ready 10 catch It on our wings,
even II we do get fooled-we're al
ways. ready, that's ALL
And little did they know that the
parrot cousins far away were so proud
because though the parrots learned 10
talk like people, they always remem-
bered the old parrot trick OF being
ready TO receive the rain.
