I am supposed to finish up my presentation for meeting now. But what happen yesterday kept flashing across my mind.

I came back from work. As usual, greeted my parrots, let them out to roam on top of their cages. My cute baby cousin was crawling towards my room. As everyone in my family deemed that my birds were filthy, he is not supposed to crawl into my room. Like he would pick up seeds or feathers from the floor and eat. His parents were in my house thus i carried him in my arms and showed him 'Birds'.

Right away, my uncle aka his dad shouted, "Dun bring Gabriel near to your bird (Dating), if yr bird bite him again i am sure to SMACK your bird!" Trust me, i'm offended. I was only standing at my door showing him my birds. Never intend to bring him near coz i know Dating bites children.

I suddenly felt so sorry for Dating. It's not her fault to bite anyone. Probably it's my fault. I feel so sad that she's so outcasted. Unlike Twinkle, everyone gets attracted by his cute looks, plus he's really a tame bird. Maybe coz he came to me during his young tender age where i could control what he can do and can't. Unforunately, i don't know wat age was Dating and it definitely takes a longer time to teach her wat to and wat not to. The worse thing Dating ever does is to jump onto my another cousin shoulder and bite her hard on her cheek.

The wound.

Later at night, Yida's mum called, heard Twinkle's chirp then ask Yida about Twinkle. Then she mentioned she don't like Dating. Yes she's biased toward Twinkle. I mean it is natural to feel this way. Who would love a baby who cry and cry? Who would love a parrot which keeps biting other ppl? I totally understand. Besides, Dating did bite her really hard a few times during her stay at his mum's place. :(

Dating has her 'shoulders' feathers chewed. Perhaps, she's bored. I changed most of the setting in her cage. Will it help? Maybe it's all my fault. I should be home more often and bring her to wherever i go.

Dear Dating, i really feel sad for you. You don't know how much ppl dislike you. You don't even know what's going on around you. You don't even know what you have done wrong. You probably just dun understand what people want from you.
All you do is to wait for me to come home and try to be with me 24/7.
Mummy is so sorry to get you being misunderstood by others. I will protect you from others' scolding from now onwards. No one appreciates you like i do.
I will protect you. :*(
