Talking to my sister yesterday and she reminded me about another humorous situation involving her nemesis.....gosh,i never told you his name...."Chipper".
Sandy was doing one of her chores this day, cleaning out the bird cage, i suppose i should have also mentioned that Mom also had a passion for Budgies. Seems she always had a couple and they were in my opinion nasty noisy little squawkers! Now that Monkey was always picking at the birdcage trying to get at the tasty morsel
Monkeys will catch and eat nearly anything, they do not limit themselves to fruits and nuts by any means. So Sandy opened the cage, forgetting that foul little bandit Chipper was around. She turned with the tray and a golden streak whizzed past her, arms into the cage, and in an instant had his prize!
Yowee! My Sis was in trouble! She reacted without thinking. As the dang Monkey grabbed the bird and was about to finish the morsel with a wicked bite when Sandy grabbed him by the neck and hung on! What a performance, Monkey real mad and screaming blue murder, bird squawking, feathers flying, and Sandy holding on, it was a stalemate! He could not bite the bird while Sis was choking him and she dared not let go
After a very long minute of this, Sis got a hand free while continuing to choke the little savage down, then pried the bird from his grip, tossed it into the cage, then pitched the Monkey across the room. The little fool carried on something fierce for a while but had some respect for Sis after that
Sandy said she sat down and shook for a bit, thinking of how she would have explained it if both of them had been dead! Stupid bird survived, how i don't know, he was missing a bunch of feathers and we just acted dumb.
