Default Just experienced a first for me that made my day!

I was outside checking out some of our landscape plantings having just returned home from our mail station. While doing so, from behind me I could I could hear the approaching sounds that sounded familiar, but totally unexpected from where I was presently located.

It was a man riding a bike while whistling to a parrot on the handlebar and the bird happily talking back to him like he just had his fill of crackers. Not only did this person taking his bird out for a bike ride make my day, but it also put a big smile on my face!
