What I Did Last Wednesday

A New Friend

cockatiel perched on a hand

When I held my hand out to the bird, it slowly stepped closer. The bird approached my hand and decided to perch on it. It continued to whistle, but in a louder tone. It cheerfully completed its tune and stared upwards. I held out my other hand and carefully pet the bird. It suddenly held out its wings, which startled me. I pet it once more and then the bird whistled a loud note. On that note, it took off into the sky. It continued to fly until I could not see it anymore. Once it was out of sight, I continued my journey home.
