It was a lovely day, so accompanied by Dai, Angharad and Myfanwy I went for a walk in Porthkerry Country Park...As we walked Dai entertained us with a tale of his parrot............Angharad hasn't any love for said parrot for reasons that will soon be apparent....This parrot is a very fast learner, and a wonderful talker, he also has a passion for cheese, but the cheese doesn't agree with the parrot as it gives him the most awful upset tummy........and Dai had told Angharad never to give this bird cheese again, after he had to clean up a very messy cage one day...........And all was well, until one day when the parrots constant squawks and mimics were driving Agharad round the bend...........Slicing a tiny wedge of cheese she shoved it in the cage saying "there and don't tell that old bugger Dai"

The incident was forgotten byAngharad, until one night as Dai got into bed he turned to her and said" Now just what is it the parrot mustn't tell that old bugger Dai ?"...........oooooops !

Now Myfanwy thinks this parrot a wonderous creature, as it had her completely fooled one day........

They Angharad and Myfanwy had been shopping, and they returned to Angharads house for a coffee and a natter, Angharad went to put the kettle on leaving Myfany to make herself comfortable in the lounge, very shortly Myfanwy followed her into the kitchen saying, "perhaps I'd better not stay Angharad seeing that Dai is home" "He's in work I told you" replyed Angharad. "He's not because he just shouted through from the other room" said Myfanwy......He said " Get off your fat arse and go shovel snow, what does he mean because its not snowing ?"

Of course it was the parrot who on hearing someone come into the house had shouted the first thing that came to its beak, in a perfect parody of Dai's voice.....Myfanwy told this tale to all and sundry in the following weeks as she had been so impressed with the parrots perfect imitation.
