Sunday was just like any other Sunday. We went to church, we ate, we came home, we hung out, some of us slept, and then we went to Publix. Totally normal right? So far maybe...after shopping at a place where I must say it is a real pleasure, we are returning home, of course. We turn on to our road and we see this exotic bird standing in the middle of the street. Beautiful bird. Believing that it is someones pet, my husband tells me to get out and make sure it doesnt fly away while he goes and tries to find the owner. WHAT?!?! Did he just ask me to make sure a BIRD doesnt fly away? So I go into the house to get some food or something I can use to keep the bird from flying away. I grab some nuts and head back outside, but I dont see the bird. The bird is not in the street anymore, it is walking across the neighbors driveway towards me. I meet it halfway and put the plate on the ground in front of it, and surprisingly enough it starts eating the nuts. All the while though it is acting like it wants up. Every time I put my hand near the plate it acts like it wants up. Of course I am afraid it was one of those mean birds who will chew my whole hand off so I am cautious, but this bird WANTS up. I put my hand under its belly and it preceds to walk up my arm til it gets to my shoulder where it stays until we find its owner. HOW COOL IS THAT? It was like instant friend. It has to be said that the bird was very loyal, it didnt like Chris. I dont know why that makes me laugh. He tried to hold the bird, but the bird was fine to stay right where it was. We did find the owner and return the bird, but I'll admit that if I was down with stealing other peoples pets I would have kept that bird.
So meet my friend Chole...

That's awesome! I had a similar experience a few years ago with a parrot. He swooped off our roof and almost landed on my head. He would have made it, except I ducked and shrieked like a little girl. You my friend, are the Bird Whisperer.
I stole your picture, you bird whisperer! come find it!
