perches

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, the parakeets are weird.

Me: Not for parakeets, they’re not.

Sweetie: But they never sit down. They are always standing on their feet on top of sticks.

Me: Those sticks we call ‘perches’. Their feet and legs hold on and keep them steady, the way the Great Creator made them to be. Even in a strong wind.

Doodlebug: We can pick up more sticks for them in the yard!

MoonCat: Don’t take them up on that offer, Baby and Bud. Bulldog gifts always come with strings of bulldog slobber attached.
