“I want this bird, I want this bird!” Chloe cried, jumping up and down in her green Jelly sandals. She was pointing to the white parrot perched at the top of the cage. Mara was holding her parrot, green and black; she was puckering her lips and pecking his beak. The kind man reached his arm deep inside the cage and grabbed the white parrot for Chloe.

“He reminds me of Sammy,” I said.

“He does look like Sammy!” my father exclaimed. Sammy was the parrot who’d lived at the bottom of the pink hotel in Boca Raton, Florida, where we lived for a few months while our house in Virginia was being built. My father had been doing business down there at the time.

“Look, girls!” my mother said. The blue parrot was standing on her head as she tiptoed around in a small circle showing off for us with her arms spread like wings. Suddenly the blue parrot jumped from her head, flapping his wings as he tried to fly away, but his feathers were no longer shaped for the direction of the sky, and the force of gravity pulled him to the ground as he landed and tumbled over his feet.
