It's THAT Time of Year

I mean spring. Even though it hasn't official begun, I've noticed little signs of it. One of these signs is in my house. My parrot seems to have awakened from his winter hibernation. He is a nest-building parrot (the only species of parrot that builds) and he has been quite enthusiastic about it. I came home yesterday and found him on the floor hiding behind a fortress of papers. He was in there strutting around and daring me to put my hand in there (I did and he charged me). He's a lot of fun when he's like this, but can also be a pain. He'll be affectionate one minute and attack you in the next. He has also gotten very vocal. In the picture at the right, you can barely see him peering out of his fortress.
