Let's play catch up - Thanksgiving

Okay so the last post was Halloween - then cam something called Thanksgiving.  We've heard a lot about something called Turkey.  And we have discovered that a turkey is a large bird.  It made us nervous for a while there to discover that there was a holiday about eating bird.  But Miss Renee explained to us that Thanksgiving is not about turkey but about family.  She explained that most people but not all ate turkey - but you can eat other things as well.  She also said that no one ate finches for Thanksgiving except for maybe a cat.  We were rather relieved - though not really happy about the cat idea.  But we understand that family is very important.  Back home in Australia we live in huge flocks of families.  We're a very social bird and we don't like to live by ourselves.  That's also why Kyp and I live together - even though we occasionally fight we would be terribly lonely without each other. We did get a treat on Thanksgiving - eggs.  Miss Renee made them special for us.  We love scrambled eggs.  I know it seems weird that we're birds and we're eating eggs buts it is quite normal.  If we had families we would clean our nests by eating the egg goo after the babies were hatched so its not really that different.  We get them mixed with a little seed and that makes it delicious.  You should try it sometime - maybe without the seed unless you want to try it that way.
