Come see my cockatiel. He is lots of fun.

1. Hello, my
Name is
Cheeky.

2. I’m not
sure if
I want
to talk
to you
today.

3. Wow! Really,
you think I’m
cool? O.K. If its
like that then, I’ll
talk to you, my
friends call me
Budgie.

4. I’m not
really a
budgie
though.
I’m a
cockatiel.

5. So now we’re
good friends,
will you let me
play on my big
red ball?

6. Gee thanks, this is fun. I don’t often get
to do this.

7. Wow! That was
great. But you
have to watch
out!

8. You never know
what might be
lurking
around here!

9. See what I mean?
A bird can never
be too careful!

10. I think
I might
stay up
here on
my cage
where it’s
safer for
a little
fellow
like me.

11. But for sleeping,
a box is the
place for me.

12. If you have enjoyed
talking to me, and
would like to know

parrots, check out the
