Oh boy is this ever funny... I love parakeets and adore that you added the names of all of them in your creative poem.
I had one called Pudgy wedge when I was in my early 20th...I loved that little bird...

This is an adorable response to the prompt. Those birds sound like they had a wonderful time. Your wordplay with all the bird-themed names is so cleverly done. This was enjoyable to read.

Awful! How did you have the energy to invent all those dreadful puns? This is a most amusing read. (Did you want 'chirpier' at the end?) Very enjoyable and a great photo as accompaniment.

    Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I was trying for a version of 'chipper' but with 'chirper.' I guess 'chirpier' would have worked as well.

    I thought chipper too.

I loved that show and birds and tropical places! I like a funny story with some very cute birds and a nice splash of levity which is needed. There's too much darkness in the world, so thank you for this, it's a great submission!
I quite enjoyed this cute story and your submission is great. I think this should do well and I hope you have a fabulous evening!

If I had a talking parakeet, the first thing I would teach it to say is "Help, they've turned me into a parakeet!"
Now is the best time to buy a parakeet, I hear they're going cheep!
Do you think you know more parakeet jokes than me? Toucan play that game!
Did you get the idea I liked your story? I was an old parkeet lover from way back. Now, I'm just old!

    I love parakeets, have owned many, and taught speech to one as well. one laid 32 eggs, then became egg-bound and the vet couldn't save her. At my assisted living situation now, we have an aviary of finches.

I enjoyed the parakeets creative vacation. They had as much fun as people would have. Each bird reference gave me a smile, especially the restaurant menu items of fresh salsa with cilantro over birdseed fa-keetas and burr-keet-os. I hope they go on other trips that you tell us about. This was fun.

    Thank you for your super review. One of these days maybe the parakeets and I will actually go on a real vacation.

I think you did rather brilliantly with this fantastic post Ctrystie, your wordplay was pretty fantastic, and I throughly enjoyed reading this impeccably written treatise of those pesky parakeets parading their well worn wares in the Canaries, well done, blessings Roy

I wish I had SIX Stars for this wonderful humor story. I giggled and laughed while reading just imagining these feathered friends having a blast. I loved the puns the names and great job keeping track of all the supportive story words and author note. Best wishes!

Every parakeet needs to go on vacation someplace at sometime every year. I enjoyed your story very much. It was fun to read. May you do find the GR challenge to write many wonderful stories. Patricia

Great story for the Animal Crackers Club. You have quite a menagerie. Your parakeets really had themselves quite a time. I'm glad they didn't go to Russia. They might have frozen, or something worse could have happened to them. I would have been a blast seeing them dancing at the disco-peck. I'm glad they are thinking ahead to their next vacation. I love the word play--cheep, fa-keetas, etc. You show that parakeets can be as much fun as cats and dogs. Very enjoyable. judi
