Being somewhat brighter than your average bird, I like to find things to keep myself amused. And I’ve always been fascinated by human...

My human family and I recently went on a migration to a far-flung place called ‘Cumbria.’ And to get there, we hired a type of ‘magic...

This is the time of year when human chicks get their school reports. And I wonder what kind of messages they will receive from their...

My owner likes to grow all kinds of things each year, and the garden outside is now a blaze of different colours. At the beginning of the...

I like to think that I’m a bit of a miracle. I’ve come out of an egg. I’m rather good looking. And I have an intellect that makes me the...
