A COCKATIEL GOES SHOPPING

   
       I had quite a surprise last Sunday when I was out grocery shopping in the mall. I kept hearing a continuous low whistling and I thought hmmm, someone’s not answering his/her phone. Lo and behold, it was a little Lutino cockatiel perched on a supermarket trolley.

   

         Here in Malaysia, pets are usually not allowed in public areas like shopping malls and parks. We can certainly take our dogs for walks (on a leash) or cats if one feels so incline, although I think cats are too dignified for this. I once spied my neighbour’s little boy taking his bunny Fluffy on a leash down the road.

      Yep, there was Luna free like a bird just watching the world go by, happy as a lark. Her owner Lili was enjoying breakfast in the corner. I walked over for a chat and pictures. 

         Ms Lili was well dressed and coiffured, so elegantly made up for a grocery run, unlike myself with hair like Tina Turner on a bad day. She got Luna to hop onto my finger. Luna was curious and hopped closer and closer to my face. 


       I was afraid she would peck me on the nose, but she just wanted to get a better look at my age spots! Then off they went, Luna and Lili into the supermarket. What a great pair of friends. 

     A noisy HELLO from COCO in Melbourne, Australia.
