Hello fans, I am a happy easy going, polite and considerate Macaw. I love everyone here; the people, cats, dogs, turkeys - in fact, everyone I come into contact with. I talk to all of the visitors when they stand in front of my cage staring at me, I know they can't take their eyes off me because I am such a gorgeous bird. I have just realsied, however, that there is something missing in my life - a mobile phone! Everyone has one, all of the volunteers and all of the visitors. 'Ring ring here, ring ring there', I always say "Hello" when they ring so why don't I have a phone? Even the children have their own phones and I have seen them taking photos of me on their phones so they have cameras on them as well. Oh I do so want a phone, a nice green one to match my feathers. I could have it in a case with a strap so it would hang around me neck and I would never lose it. I am a very independent BooBoo, I am a business bird. Earning my own money I help Billy, painting and decorating and I now work with Adore, kitchen fitting, so there is plenty for me to do. I am in demand now so a phone would be very useful.

Soon of course, I will be travelling with Darryl playing snooker. In a couple of weeks we will be going to England to qualify for Australia so a Macaw must have a phone. I could get separated from Darryl when we are travelling and I could ring him up and say "you have forgotton me, I am sitting in the airport wating for you". I am so excited to be going to Australia, it is more like my natural home - perhaps I won't come back!. I will spend the rest of my days in the tropics where I should be and if I had a phone I could ring home and talk to Ann. I would miss her as she likes me and talks to me every morning and I talk back to her in her normal voice, I am so clever. I would miss the cats too and the dogs, perhaps I will just have a fly around the Australian forests and then fly home.

It's a pity it isn't Christmas as someone may buy me a phone then or maybe even my birthday, oh heck, I don't know when that is!! Maybe I can make it my Birthday soon and a phone will be at the top of my list. 'Ring ring, it's BooBoo' - ring me soon fans I will give you my number...
