Eclectic teenager.
Two years ago, Janis Gore's masthead read Life on the Mississippi, Lucifer's little acre, and Lucy, the blogging baby parrot.
Now the masthead shows that Lucy is growing up.
Ah, those teenage Solomon Islands Eclecti years!
'Lucy went today for a wing clip. It took just a few minutes and wasn't too traumatic.'
And the gear they insist on taking everywhere!
'With Lucy's gear we had a full load ... Lucy had a small bag, her acrylic travel cage and her playtree. That's why we own an SUV.'
But sometimes they just won't talk to you!
'The drive home was easy. I tried to teach Lucy to say "Lyman, are we there yet?", but she was having none of it.'
(Ornithology fact: originally it was thought that, because of their different colourings, the male and female Solomon Islands Eclectus were two different species. What, you need coloured feathers to work that one out?)
Gone South is one of the great blogs.
