Gilding the lily after yesterday’s post, but I ended up paging through pics of him.

One more story about Hatch, since my mind is on him. Like most parrots he had people he liked and people he hated. But there is one person I ever met that he...had a crush on? Across the street from me for a while was a pet shop, and I would occasionally bring him in to say hi to the proprietors. One of them would take Hatch on her finger, and bring him close and whisper in his ear. I don't know what she was whispering, not that it mattered. But he would BLUSH. The white area around his eyes would turn pink. It was as if he were sweet on her. I'd never seen him do that before or since.
