Went to see an old friend on Saturday we've been mates for 25 years on and off recently been a bit off as he used to work for me as a sub contractor 4 years ago in the downturn I had no work for him so eventually folded his business slightly blaming me I think !
He came over for a cuppa Friday and said he had a few bits and consumables left in his shed " would I be interested in buying them "
"yup "
So Saturday was arranged I got round there with my dog a border terrier ,he let's us in and shows me the parrot the best "pet"he's ever had he proudly tells me it's on top of a 6 foot tall cage my dog goes a bit frantic on seeing the parrot standing on back legs barking etc so we exit the room and shut the door
Have a cup ot t etc bit of chit chat then start taking the stuff outta the shed into my van
As I re enter the house the front room door pops open
The dog is straight in there barking at the parrot
Which was quite safe till it deceided to try and fly round the room landing on a bean bag
The dog grabs it in it's teeth
The parrot starts squawking
I nearly shit myself
Grab my dog by the scruff of the neck shake it twice it let's go of the parrot ! Phew
Exit the room shut door carry on getting stuff from shed say nothing
Look in room 10 mins later the parrots back on it's perch
Finish our deal put dog in van ask to see parrot again
It looks ok but is shaking my mate says " wonder what's up with parrot" then " fk me where's all these feathers come from"
I look innocent
and say nothing
