“Alex, the parrots are back!”
“What? Parents? Black?”

“Back? Whose parents?”
“Not parents, parrots. The parrots are back.”
“Huh?”
It’s a good thing that my wife and I are so well educated. Who knows what our efforts at communication might look like otherwise? Anyhow, the cool birds have returned and here is some proof.
