Cracker
is ten years old and is the most amazing cockatoo. Cracker is a
fun and funny bird and makes us laugh every day. But he disappeared for
three days when he flew out the front door one day. We were horrified and
put posters up everywhere with his picture and our phone number.
We often hang out at "Patrick Malloy's" on Hermosa Beach Pier. Each day
we wished he would land up there. The day before we found him, we looked
up and said "Wouldn't that be magic if he would just turn up with those
other parrots?" and he did, except he found a palm tree at the end by
himself.
There are lots of little wild green parrots around in some of those palm
trees and our wish came true after we prayed together. We got a phone
call next day to say that two kids and their dad had heard him, then saw
him, so we dashed down. We saw him and he saw us, and couldn't wait to get
down. And, after several enormous swoops aiming for Nick's arm, (the
owner of Cracker) from one palm tree to another, he eventually landed on
the railing exactly where we had made the wish. This spot is 1 1/2 miles
from where we live. It should have been in a movie! Cracker was home,
and collapsed into a nap onto Nick's chest after much fuss and porridge
and water. We are so glad he is home, and safe, and want everyone to
know to keep their birds safe!
