"Me and My Bird" 2012 Contest Winner - 3rd

"As a youngster Squishy was dropped into our backyard by a crow. As lorikeets are considered pests here in Western Australia I had no choice but to keep her but we bonded fast and now she's the life of the house. So smart and so mischievous, Squishy is toilet trained and plays dead when I pretend to shoot her. She loves music, dancing and chasing my cats. She giggles evilly after she does something naughty like bite (see photo). They call them clowns of the bird world and that's spot-on." ... Lauren W.
