Talk like a pirate day.

Hung out at the beach with some of our friends yesterday afternoon. The parrot is a girl named Spike, who belongs to a chap called Mike; a friend of a friend. They make an interesting couple. Spike body-surfs in the waves and opens ring-pull cans. He also gets around on Mike’s shoulder, while Mike rides his motorbike. Said bike is a Harley, with an awesome paint job, designed to look like Spike. The front fender looks like her head, complete with eyes and a big, black beak. The rear fender is cut and painted to look like her long blue tail. Evidence of quite a love affair.
