Who's A Pretty Girl Then?

[[Sappho the Budgie]]

She's out of her cage; it's a brand new day!

Sappho enjoys playing with the bell in her cage, eating millet and sitting on my finger. I bought her over a year ago, since in the pet shop she kept coming up to us - how could I say no?

Admittedly, we've had our ups and downs; she doesn't really understand that when I turn on the television, it's because I want to listen to what's on the news, and not give her some noise to join in on. Then there's the time when she decided to play with my, and did so by giving me some playful pecks that were really rather quite painful.

But still, she is beautiful, and never fails to cheer me up (even when she's grumpy in the evenings).

So, I'm glad you've all met Sappho (she's named after a famous Greek poetess), and if you hear any loud tweeting noises the next time you're watching The Lunchtime News, you'll know where they're coming from.
