"Are you interested in adopting a pet bird?" my mom asked excitedly. "You can teach it tricks including talking and overall just play with him."

As I was still working on my homework, I was confused by such a sudden question. Though, I did realize that all I've ever done was watch Youtube videos and make up stories with my angry bird toys, so perhaps a pet could add a little more interest.

"Of course!"

At that time, I had pet turtles, but they always tried to bite me. Additionally, there was a smell of moldy cheese, hard boiled eggs, human poop, and orange juice sometimes. After doing some research, I've found out that bird poop shouldn't smell unless they were sick.

How will his feathers feel?

How hard will he bite me?

Am I capable of being a good bird owner who gives the best possible life to such a crazy, living creature?

In what form will he appear?

I dug in the garage until I found a decent-sized cage for a bird and got in the car with my mom.

Will he be loud?

Will I tame him well?

What if-

Before I could get a chance to continue my never-ending questions, we pulled up to a house consisting of pale, rough walls, a humongous balcony covered with daisies, and a standard brown, wooden front door. My excitement level increased from fifty to a hundred and ten when I heard many chirping sounds coming from it. 

I went in with my mom after she introduced me to her friend and her husband. The smell was a little stuffy for my liking; that was the last of my worries because I saw a stunning green-cheeked parakeet who showed off its talking ability. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears! 

My mom's friend instructed me to push my finger up towards its chest from its stomach, and everything else in my childish mind was brushed away by the magnificent feeling of joy. A mini life was standing on me! 

However, before I could enjoy it more, we had to move to the actual reason why we were there.

This was it. My life was going to go off its original track, and I was about to become a new me.

A/N:

I don't have anything against turtles whatsoever because everyone and everything smells! Do you guys have turtles, birds, both, or neither?
