Perched on My Shoulder and My Head — Hyogo-ku, Kobe
Categories: On the Job > Birds
The ones I came to care for this time are
were at a home of two parakeets.🌵
A golden-plumed conure,
Chura-chan, twelve years old.

And a monk parakeet, Lime-chan,
five years old.

At our meeting, I'd been told
that Chura-chan has a friendly
nature,🍀
while Lime-chan is shy
and fond of older gentlemen❤️
(she adores the client's father),
or so I'd heard, but… 😁
On the day of care, when I opened the cage,
Chura-chan hopped right onto my shoulder
straight away.☺️
Lime-chan perched atop the refrigerator
and watched me for a little while, but
seeing Chura-chan, she must have decided it was safe,
because she flew right up
onto my head.🕊️
"I'm not your mama,
just some lady from elsewhere,
but are you sure it's okay?" I said to her as I worked,
and all through my care, on my shoulder and head
they stayed perched the whole time.🥳
For parakeets other than the ones I keep myself
to stay perched on me
for such a long time is quite rare,
so it was a truly precious experience❗

Until the next time we meet,
don't forget about me, okay~🐦
