This is Sunrise, the pretty one. Uncle Bill is typing this for me, so
please forgive the spelling and grandma.

Mommy Micki brought home a parrot!!

First, she put a big house in our living room. It is bigger than Bear
or Uncle Bill. We were hoping Bear would have to live in it so we could
laugh at him.

But then she brought home Buddy. He is a parrot. Uncle Bill says he is
a baby Severe Macaw. He sure looks SEVERE.He is green with big eyes and
he is real big and we are afraid of him. So we was hoping Bear would
eat him. But Bear likes him and they touch noses when Buddy is out of
his house and even when he is in it. Buddy drops his food on the floor
and Bear eats it. Then Buddy drops some more and watches Bear eat it.
So Bear likes him and he is in our living room. I got on the couch when
Buddy was on Mommy Miki's shoulder. I figured that I would kill him a
little bit. Bear YELLED at me and I had to go cry.

Winnie is trying to teach Buddy to saw "waaaaaaah," which is what he
says when Uncle Bill has not gived us breakfast but Buddy only says
YAAAWK so far. Missy probably likes Buddy better than she likes
hoomins. At least she hasn't piddled on his feet. Maggy May is afraid
of him and stays out of the living room.

We think you should come and take this parrot away. You could be nice
to him or you could cook him in a oven. We don't care. We want to keep
Bear because he is funny.
