About The Author

My Mellow Yellow Bird!

My mellow yellow bird is a cockatiel.

He loves it when I talk to him.

We share ideas and build.

He let me know if he approves.

He nods his head to say yes.

Shakes his head to say no.

He's happy as long I'm around.

him in the room, he gets upset

when I have to go.

We are like two peas in a pod.

We bring out the best in one another.

He's more than a bird to me he’s my brother.

He is always chirping, keeping my spirits high.

He makes me laugh when I'm upset and want to cry.

If I don't give him some attention, he will protest and make a lot of noise.

He wants just as much attention
