Sitting in bed, I scrolled YouTube.
Watching videos of parrots flying, chatting and doing tricks.
‘Aren't they gorgeous?’ I said to my partner Nimal, then 28.
It was October 2016, and I'd loved parrots since I was a kid.
Desperately wanted one.
But living in a house share in London, I knew it wasn't the right time.
Only, I was sick of waiting.
