Blue Parakeet

I was walking around the neighborhood and I saw a bird that looked like a blue parakeet. She was with a bunch of sparrows as if they were friends. They were eating together so I watched them eating. When I came closer they flew into tree branches and I watched them for a while.

On my second walk I went to the bird store and talked a little to the owner. I saw blue parakeets there so I told him that I saw one outside flying around. And he told me how some people buy birds from him and take them outside and let them fly away. "For Good Luck". And I said how then maybe they could live in the wild. Then I wondered if the birds fly back to the bird store. So he sells them, people release them for good luck, they come back to the store and he sells them again. That would be some racket. But I like the store. It is one of my stops on my walk to Atlantic Avenue.
