Parrot Care by Alexandra Haverská
Gran was still in her prime after the war. One day she felt extra charitable and took in a sick old parrot. She relished in the thought of brightening up the little time it had left. Turned out it was a phoenix. It wept gently on gran’s grave for days.
Now I have an old parrot.
