The story of how I got a Bird

It was one sunny afternoon of whatever day of the week it was I'm pretty sure it was a Saturday but eh.

Now as I was saying it was a sunny afternoon so my dad decided that we should spend the rest of the day at the beach. At that time my sister was with our grandparents so it was just me my dad and mum and my two brothers.

So we all hopped into our minivan and made our way to the beach. The beach we went to had two outdoor BBQs that anyone can use so we went and snagged up the last open one.

After we cleaned the BBQ I noticed a bird in a tree and this was not any old bird it was a parrot and it was hiding from a bunch of seagulls. I told my family, and they gave me some bread to feed it.

After a couple of attempts, it flew onto my hat that I was wearing.

We stayed there for two hours and still no one came to get the bird so I thought that the best idea was to catch it and take it home with me.

So basically my idea was to kidnap it, well actually bird nap it.

Now that I think back at it. It probably wasn't the best idea to catch it but at that moment it was either that or let the bird get eaten by seagulls, so yeah.

Anyway, I put some bread in my hand, and when the bird came down to eat the food I grabbed my hat and captured it. So after that, it didn't like me anymore it tried to bite me whenever it could.

So we all packed our stuff and went to our car so we could go and get it some bird food. On the way to the pet shop I named the bird Fluffy I know such an original name for an animal but I DON'T CARE!!

I like the name so I stuck with it.

Now when we arrived at the pet shop my parents went in and got the bird food it was pretty easy because to pick one because they just chose the one with the picture of Fluffy on it they also grabbed a box.

So when they came back into the car they put the food into the box and then I put Fluffy into the box to eat proper food that won't possibly kill him and yes the bird was a he.

When we got home my mum searched for what type of bird he was an then we found out that it was a Cocatell and Fluffy was a boy.

My sister came back home half an hour later and just Imagine your walking up the stairs to the front door and then the door got pulled open. Only for you to find a very hyper sister that was shouting 'We have a pet bird we have a pet bird!!'

My sister's reaction was priceless she was like 'We have a what!?' she was speechless.

So we went into our room. Yes back then we shared a bedroom get over it. So as I was saying we went into our room because that was where the bird was.

Later that night we bought a cage for him with some toys I also gave him my small mirror which he loved.

My sister called him Fluffy butt or chicken nugget, which I did not like but either way she called him that.

And that was the story of how I got a bird.
