Reminiscing

My first bird, as a young child, was a parakeet that my father caught while at his job, climbing television towers. We named him Flyboy. I can remember my dad always seeing to it that Flyboy had a cuttlebone, which at that time I thought he was saying cuddle bone and wondered why a bird would want to cuddle with that! After my dad explained I preferred to continue to think of it as a cuddle bone and while I have no birds at present, you can be sure that my next one will have a 'cuddle bone'!
