Hey!

[Art Blade]

I think I just heard something, like from very deeply down under.

I have to stick up for our parrots, they're cute - even though they gnaw holes in the mangoes on the neighbour's tree so that the ones that fall on my side of the fence are wasted, and they wake me up early in summer with all their squawking, and they eat the other neighbour's mulberries and then drop purple *bleep* all over the roof... Actually, bugger sticking up for them. Where's that scatter gun...

[Dweller_Benthos]

Yep, exotic cute pet for us, downright nuisance for you!

I hear those parrots taste good, too. With mango and mulberry.
