Twiggers

This is my pet bird Twiggy. But I call him Twiggers. I like to play with him sometimes. But he's really mean now. But I love him anyway. For some reason he always chirps whenever Moe is sleeping. I don't know why. [ My dad is holding him in this picture.] Right now he is 1. In this picture he is zero. He is a pacific parrotlet. A parrot that will be little forever. But when their grown up their fatter.

The Underdog Movie!

This is Underdog in Egypt. I think he is saving King Tut. What do you think? Underdog is a movie I went go see with parkey and daddy! It's kind of funny! I loved it! It was about a dog who got stuck in the pound and this mad scientist who gave him special powers and he didn't mean to beacause underdog exploded the lab and knocked over the shelf that held all the potions. And ate some potions to make him have super powers. One was talking. Another was to fly. And his motto was "There's no need to fear, Underdog is here!" Sometimes I like to pretend that I'm Underdog!

The Phoenix Myth

I just heard about the phoenix. In Greek mythology the phoenix was a bird that lived in Arabia. Each morning the phoenix would awake and bathe in a well near it's roost.While it bathed, it sang a beautiful song that the sun god Apollo stopped to hear each dawn before he drove his sun chariot across the sky. According to the myth, only one phoenix existed at a time. When it grew old, the phoenix would build a nest of myrrh. The phoenix would settle it's tired aging body into the center of the nest which burst into flames when the sun rose. The phoenix would be consumed by the flames and from the ashes of the ancient bird, a new phoenix would be reborn. [I got that from a paper.]
