Precious. Want more. 🙂

Thank you, Colleen. There was so much more I wanted to do with the story, but it went longer than planned as it was. I would not mind turning this story into [at least] a novella someday. There’s just so much more than can be done.
And, obviously, it means a lot that it passes the approval of someone who shares their life with an African Grey and other parrots 🙂
