In 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Pickles the Parrot does indeed dominate
life. Owning parrots can be challenging and frustrating but Georgi
Abbott has a way of finding humour in her parrot's behaviour and
giving us pause to think differently about our own feathered pets.
This is her fourth book about Pickles and just like the others, you
are guaranteed to laugh out loud at this parrot's antics and
personality. Excerpt ... Crazy Lady I decided to take Pickles on a
little outing so I packed him up in his back-pack and we drove up
town to take a short walk around the lake with Neeka Dog. We had a
nice little walk and then we sat on a bench over-looking the water
and there was not a single soul around for Pickles to embarrass me
in front of. He was quite content to caw at the ducks and show off
his other wild bird repertoire. After walking back to the car, we
drove across the street to the outdoor mall so I could pick up the
mail at the post office. I put Pickles on my back again for the
short walk and on the way back, he started with the wolf whistles
and his doing, doing, doing sounds just as we were approaching some
people who were sitting on a bench in the common area. Instead of
stopping to explain, as I usually do when people can't see Pickles
because I'm facing them with him hidden in back, I decided to keep
walking, as I knew that in a moment I would be past them and the
back-pack would be self explanatory. When I arrived at the car a
minute later, I removed the backpack to place it in the car and
that's when I noticed that Pickles had pulled up all the paper from
the bottom of the cage and then climbed down to the bottom,
effectively hiding himself beneath and behind the paper. That means
nothing was explained to those people and instead, I just looked
like some weirdo walking through the mall, whistling and doinging
with a backpack full of old newspaper. Soon, if Pickles has his
way, the town will declare me crazy and unfit to own a bird. Follow
