Coo coo coo (2)

Dad seems to like birds a lot, he has special communication with them that no one understands.  When my cousins visited Taipei years ago, Dad came up with a new game for the 2 young kids to play after we exhausted all possible activities.  He shut the windows and doors, let out the myna we have kept in a cage, gave each kid a water gun, the hunting began.  The bird was so frightened and flying around the living room at the same time shouting some language.  Kids were so entertained.

Dad once kept the pigeon in the shoe cupboard and when we got home, he is like, oh listen, I hear something.  And proudly opened the cupboard door to present the pigeon "why is the pigeon here!!" he exclaimed.  Of course, every one knew he put it the box.  I think that happened when I was in my uni age.  That's really beyond me why Dad thinks it is funny.  My mum went nuts, I think that's the last straw on the camel, Dad was kicked out.

Just recently years, Dad reduced the number of pigeons he keeps due to the neighbor pressure.  But the pigeon who has followed him for nearly 15 years is still around.  She recently become single and appears very bored.  She walks around Dad's living room, following Dad around the apartment.  Dad thinks she is depressed so decided to take her out for a ride.  He put her in a box with a screen, and drove around to make sure she has some exposure to the outside world.  Most of my friends smack their hands on the forehead when hearing this.
