Caged Bird

My Mother In Law used to have a Cockatiel bird many years ago named Buddy. He just flew into her yard one day and they were able to catch him. They were never able to find the owners so they wound up keeping him and really loved that bird. My Mother In Law would let him do things that I would never have imagined her allowing. She was so picky but when it came to that crazy bird he could not do anything wrong. Guess he was her baby. She used to have two cages for him. One hung in the kitchen and one hung out in the Florida Room. But, he was allowed the roam of the house as long as they were home. When they would leave for the day she would put him in his cage in the kitchen and actually turn the radio on for him. She said he didn't like it when he was home alone and the house was all quiet. Now, don't ask me how she knew that cause she was never home when he was home alone and he did not talk so go figure. I could just imagine her getting that bird a Victorian Style Bird Cage from YCA Cages. She used to have toys and stuff for the bird. He used to have a basket of shells on the kitchen table that he would pick at with his beak. There was absolutely nothing that she would not have done for that bird.
