Hi All,
Maybe this is not relevant, but I was reminded
of it with all the stories of birds and mirrors. Many years ago,
B.W.(before Wires) I was given a cat-attacked juvenile king parrot. The
bird survived but could not fly so we kept it as a pet. This bird had it's own
perch in the living room and liked to come in by the fire in winter.
Somehow we then acquired a budgie, a very aggressive budgie, who gave the king
parrot hell chasing it around the room. To distract the budgie I placed a
mirror on the floor and, of course, the budgie loved it and talked to it for
hours. This was too much for the king parrot, who came to see what the
attraction was. So, the king parrot looked in the mirror, looked at the
budgie alongside, and then chased the budgie!
