Mommy Wants Her Baby!

By MARY CATHERINE RISHCOFF

The storybook, Mommy Wants Her Baby! arises from the author’s impressions and feelings of real parakeets. It is considered fiction anyway. Furthermore, names have been changed.

The storybook simplistically portrays the life of three parakeets that are characteristically named Sweet, Sterling and Sonny. At first read, the tale is of the struggle for family. The relevance is not quite realized until near the end.

Sweet, soon to be discovered as a girl parakeet, wants her baby. She shows persistence if not desperation. Sterling, Sweet’s mate is persistent because he has eyes for Sweet. The end result is Sonny, a baby that grows into a big, yellow-feathered boy parakeet. Because of warmth like sunshine, Sonny lived, whereas his siblings did not.

Sometimes, our efforts in life get thwarted. With persistence and help, we may finally succeed like
Sweet, Sterling and Sonny did. With the growth of Sonny, family is made. SUCCESS!

As a child, the author vacationed during the summer months at her Grandpa Pointek's house. Her Grandfather would sit on his porch in the evenings. Often, the author sat with him. They would enjoy the view together. At times, the author played in the cellar of the house where she saw wood cutting tools. One day, she learned that her Grandfather actually built and erected the birdhouse in his yard with these tools. Impressed that her Grandfather constructed his own birdhouses, the author delighted more in watching the birds. In and out the birdhouses! She remembers well.
