His daughter understood the bird better than all the others who had owned it. As soon as the swallow was brought to her by her father she noticed it was feeling sickly as was she. The text states“When the girl wakes suddenly in the middle of the night, the first thing she sees through her fever is a small cliff swallow blinking at her from behind the bars of a rattan cage. She knows too well how terrible it is to be kept inside. ‘I know what you need, little bird,’ she murmurs. But the swallow no longer believes what people say. Slowly, the sickly girl rises from her bed and carries the cage to the open window. Unlatching the rattan door, the girl asks, ‘Will you fly for me, too, little bird?’ And her language is one that the swallow understands.” This shows how the girl and the swallow understand each other.

As a parrot our narrator is forced to come to terms with the fact that no matter how hard he tries to communicate with his wife or other people, it will prove useless and even if the context fit's the conversation, they'd think of it as an humorous coincidence. As our narrator hangs onto and tries to repeat every word to his "wife" says he demonstrates his frustration of being unable to communicate and his yearning for her to realize it is him.

Our narrator's wittiness and male pride are still evident in his words no matter how subtle they are. For example, "up, cracker, peanut, open" and even changing the context from "pretty bird to bad bird".

“About 85 percent of parrots are resold, given away, or abandoned within two years of being purchased,” by “There Is No Such Thing as a 'Cage Bird'.” From a young age I was always fascinated by birds; fascinated by their intelligence and feather coloration. My passion and love grew even bigger when I first saw Leah the Green-Wing macaw on Mickaboos adoption website. My heart sank and eyes filled up with tears as I read Leah’s profile; neglected by five different families and was given an adoption time frame. If Leah did not get adopted within the given time frame she would then be euthanized. On November 11, 2014, the day I brought Leah home has changed my life ever since. Throughout this essay I will talk about how owning an exotic parrot: macaw can be like having a two year old child rather than a pet.

Seeing the swan he thought, “This swan is so bright and I am so dark. He must be the happiest bird in the world” When the crow said this to the swan, the swan said, “I used to think that I was the happiest bird too until I saw a parrot.

At first the crow thought that the crowds would go away, but the longer waited he realized that the crowds would never end. The crow tried getting through the crowd but it was too thick. Finnally, the crowd died down and the crow could go up to the peacock and told him what the parrot and the swan
