Rio's Story          

She was quite big. Not fat like me though. My owner called her Pidgey. But I just call her 'darling'. She was a green like me but a bit darker.

'Hey,' I chirped looking at her with my head tilted.

'What are you staring at?" she said.

"Hey, you're a bird like me. Wow that is amaaaay...zing!"

"Oh knock it off," she said, "How can you like this place.  It's so lonely. And that human really gets on my nerves.

"Oh thats our new owner. She isn't that bad at all," I said. I was still confused. She looked familiar. Hmmm... I've probably seen her before somewhere.

"Does the owner even realize that you need to go on a diet?"

"Hey knock it off!" I said. Now I remember her. She was one of those mean girls who called me 'fat'. Great. I immediately pecked at her. SQUARCk......

"What did you do that for?" She flew away onto the next perch.

"Don't call me fat again ok"

"Hmmpf.." she said fluffing her feathers.

My owner was watching us all the time ofcoarse. So was her daddy. It kinda reminded me of my daddy. I think my owner was glad that I was starting to make friends with Pidgey. So from that day on I had to put up with Pidgey. She was quite pretty and cared about her appearance a lot. I've noticed though that she was getting fatter. I still peck her everytime she calls me 'fat'. But you know what? I think I'm starting to like her and I don't mind her calling me 'fat' anymore.
