I CAN'T MOVE


~I CAN'T MOVE~



Of course, I can move,
but when my baby,
my African Grey Parrot,
Sooty, is eating in my palm,
I have to be steady
and not move suddenly.
 


My baby sits in my palm
holding food in one foot.
balancing on the other,
he keeps on eating food.
I let him eat in my palm,
rather than on my shoulder.



He lifts up his sharp claws
and just sits there so steady.
He puts his foot down
if I move suddenly and
drops food he was holding
and sits on both his feet.



He sits on my head and
roosts on just one leg.
I keep sitting very steady
when he is roosting.
This is why I can't move
when my baby is roosting.
