Activity! Hopefully warm weather for most of us is here soon…so tell us about your favorite outdoor reading spot. Or take a picture.

Well, I don't really have an outdoor reading spot. This is not because there aren't nice spots in my backyard but because I have a very, very obsessive bird. Let me explain: I have a pet mynah bird, one I've raised since he was a baby. He's become really attached to me, considers me his mom. This little mynah bird follows me around the entire house and sleeps on my shoulder, but since he doesn't have his wings cut, I'm too afraid to let him out. The problem is that if he sees me sitting outside, he starts crying and pecking at the door. It's too sad. I can't put him through that. Yeah, I know, I'm spoiling him, but he's too adorable to make him stress out. I can read inside.

The first picture is when he was a baby. He had a little injured foot from where he fell off his nest. His parents abandoned him, so I started taking care of him.

And that's him now, perched, as always on my shoulder.
