First for the joke!
A young man named John received a parrot, named Hoppy, as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary.
Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.
Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."
John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
Then for the recipe! I saw this recipe and thought it was fun. The yams are a great source of Vitamin A. To tell you the truth, our birds like chewing on the BONES themselves. They break them apart and eat the marrow! Remmber that Vitamin A goes a long way in contributing to the good health of our birds. I advise decreasing the amount of turkey, nuts and eggs and increasing the veggies. Too much protein in the nuts, eggs and turkey....
Birdie Thanksgiving Day Meal:
1 sweet potato or 1 large jar of sweet potato baby food
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 hard-boiled egg
1/2 cup chopped cooked turkey
Mix ingredients together and warm in microwave for approximately two minutes. Ingredients that are to be used in your own Thanksgiving meal can be used such as substituting or adding broccoli, squash, etc, just be sure to set aside a small amount BEFORE you add salt, sugar or other seasonings. Appropriate seasonings like garlic and/or cinnamon may be added. Pieces of leftover cooked rolls or cornbread could also be added.
Blessings,
