I did what most grieving pet owners would do - Retail Therapy - found Tweety - hiding in a corner of a huge box because he was just one of his kind amongst the sun conure babies. I figured he was frightened and lonely and perhaps just confused about being left behind. He's dull-coloured at the moment, no bright colours, except for the slight green tinge, something like hair highlights. And so, here is Tweety.
Like people, the quieter ones need a fair shot at life's obstacles as well. It doesn't mean they cannot succeed in their path - it simply means they need opportunities to do their best. This is very different from people who are given opportunities yet unconsciously, behave rashly and are left with nothing. The examples are plenty, flip the pages of any newspaper and we read stories of people who just take for granted that good things always will there for them. When someone offers a helping hand, we take it - even if we think we know better, we take it. That is humility and learning. Not every wise man will approach us on a camel laden with gold and frankenscense - most would just be people who surround us with their chatter and the many who share daily meals with us. It never hurts to just toss an idea in our minds and give it a thought. However ridiculous it may be to our egos, it is advice.
And so, Tweety is home with us, only because he didn't know any better - unlike people who procrastinate, he just allowed himself to be brought away from the noisy tub of conure hatchlings.
