Chronicles of a Pair of Wings

Delicately coming out of my egg shell, I came into this world. My

parents were my biggest strength because they taught me everything
well and how. Crawling out slowly, I saw sun rays bright and shining with
the dancing trees. I am a tropical parrot. My parents fed me daily and
made me comfortable in the prettiest of the nests and when night wore
its darkest coat, they warmed me with their softest feathers. They taught
me all the worldly affairs and how life and world sustained in a large
vessel. The most exciting day of my life was when I learned how to fly
because every bird's strength is having a perfect flight.

Parrots are very notorious and full of activity. I was a much loved parrot
in my family. I used to entertain everyone and lead a contented, joyous
life with my friends and family, on a banyan tree. We migrated from here
to there in different seasons. It was really fun living close to my friends
and family. My father being old made me become a breadwinner for the
family. I used to go hunting for food and I thoroughly rejoiced the
experience. My best mate was a woodpecker unlike me was talkative
and enthusiastic. We both travelled the whole world and migrated every
season to our respective places. It was really beautiful to see greenery
and colours because for me, life was all about witnessing each and
every beautiful place. We used to frolic in the air and fly to the world that
beheld abundancy. Every morning, some generous humans, used to
leave grains on their terrace and we relished it. My friends and family
used to protect me from every threat. Once, I got caught up in a wire. I
was very frightened and thought that I would perish. Fortunately, my
family and friends arrived in the nick of time and were successful in
releasing me from my troubles. The humans were amazed to see this
site and they kept recording the whole incident with their camera Instead
of helping me out.

The worst thing happened when we were late for coming home from
hunting. The humans had set an advanced net to catch parrots. They
had put grains as a bait to attract us. I got very allured towards it.
Swooping down there, I got caught up in the net. My friends failed to
release me and I was then taken away by the humans and got caged. I
am writing this autobiography, sadly sitting in my cage with very less
food and water and of course very less activity.
