The message
from martin contains these words:

When I was a small child, my grandmother had a jackdaw that talked, it
also did imitations of her calling the chickens to be fed. One day the
jackdaw was found dead in the copper, foul play was suspected. Foul
not fowl!.


On my way to school - or more likely, on my way back - there was a
jackdaw which used to sit on the balustrade over a parade of shops.

It was a most discerning bird, for it would wait until something very
young and busty approached, whereupon it would give a piercing
wolf-whistle.

Several times I received a very nasty look.....

I remember being framed by a parrot, that behaved in a similar way :-)

There was a parrot, with an extensive vocabulary, that resided in the
Dovercourt Hotel, where people waiting for the Harwich - Hoek ferry
sometimes had a meal, including lots of truck drivers.

The message
from Jaques d'Alltrades contains
these words:

6 looks like VI looks like
six, however you write it.


If you write 6 upside down, it looks like 9, and if you write VI back
to front it looks like four.

On holiday, passing a neighbouring chalet with the dog, a parrot sees
sport: "Miaow!" Dog stops, looks round, ignores parrot as parrots aren't
exactly feline.

Dog turns back: "Miaow!".

Dog spins round.

Parrot: "Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!"

Dog: "GrrrrrrRufff!"

Parrot: "Miaow!"

Dog, (demented): "Rrruow! Rrruow! Rrruow! Rrruow! Rrruow! Rrruow! Rrruow!"

I had to resort to a lead.....
