Bird | The Adventures of Kacy The Conure Parrot

A Lazy Saturday Morning with Kacy

It was wondrous to spend a lazy Saturday morning thinking and doing nothing, but leisurely lying on the couch with my Black Capped Conure, Kacy enjoying the soft and relaxing music being played.

I felt really relaxed and my mind was clear. I believed Kacy felt the same too!

Kacy Makes me Feel Like a Kangaroo

It’s another busy night, I was back on my work desk busily checking and replying business emails on my trusty Macbook Pro.

Mum slept early today because she was down with a bad flu. Kacy, my Black Capped Conure was left alone in the hall with her favorite toys. But couple of minutes later, she made her way to my bedroom and join me on my work desk.

While Kacy was tenderly caressing herself and enjoying the warm cosiness, I took a few pictures of her with the iSight Camera (a built-in webcam on Macbook Pro) without her noticing it.

Chocolate is Toxic to Parrots

I was on my way returning home, passing by a void deck where I saw an old chinese man with a Green Ringneck Parakeet. It wasn’t the Green Ringneck Parakeet that caught my attention, but was actually the old man’s actions.

The old man was actually feeding the Ringneck Parakeet with some iced milo (a kind of chocolate beverage). I was alarmed.

I decided to go forward and confront the old man.

“Are you feeding the parrot with iced milo?” I asked the old man politely in mandarin.

The old man smiled and replied in mandarin, “Yes! He (Green Ringneck Parakeet) loves it! It is his favorite drink.” I wasn’t smiling, instead I was worried when I heard this.

“Uncle, please don’t feed him (Green Ringneck Parakeet) with milo. Milo contains chocolate, anything that contains chocolate is toxic to parrots!” I explained to him in mandarin.

The old man rebuked me in mandarin, “I’ve been feeding him all the time with small serving and it won’t cause any harm! Anyway he’s not dead yet!”

The old man was peeved. He ignored my advice and continued to feed the Ringneck Parakeet with iced milo.

I didn’t persist and left the place in the end. This incident left me deeply pondering whether is the old man being stubborn, being ignorant or being selfish?
