Life hack....
Take pictures every day you can! Your life in memories is such a beautiful thing. I try to take pics every day of my family, things happening in my life, trips etc...And that usually results in me scrolling years later through my phone and re-discovering my 'life'.
But tonight, kind of hurt....
These are some pics of my old bird 'Mookie'.
She was a baby Timneh African Grey parrot that my wife and I got....Before we had kids!
That should tell you that we REALLY wanted a family. And the idea of raising a baby parrot really hit us. We're big animal lovers and a parrot seemed to fit with our lives...At that time.
Sadly, we had to send her to a new home because when our kids were born we decided we wanted them to grow up with all their fingers in tact.
My middle kid would have done ok with the parrot, but my youngest....Forget it. He would have stuck his fingers into the cage the moment he could.
Not a sad story though because the bird never really bonded with us, but the home we sent her too, she took to the new owner right away....And from all accounts, a decade later, she's thriving!
It was so important for us to get her into a good home, and thankful we did.
I'll always have the memories of her though and these pics....She was such a cool bird!
