...So, on the day of the break-up talk, I had been texting my ex to confirm that he would be coming to chat after he was done with work. My bird did not hear him or know he was coming because there were no actual phone conversations. Within the 5-10 minutes prior to his arrival, my bird (sitting on my arm) looked me in the eye and began to repeatedly say, "I love you". Now, she knows this phrase, but she doesn't say it often at all, and she only says it to people she really likes (and she has to have known them for awhile). I had heard it from her 1 time in the past 2 months, but on that day, she said it 7 + times IN A ROW, just minutes before I was about to have a really really sad conversation...and I wasn't acting sad at the time either.
...It's just crazy because my bird generally is very ego-centric, but always smart, and I have no idea how she knew to say that phrase repeatedly when I needed to hear it (normally, it is all about her, but this was a HUGE deal in my life)...Anyway, she hasn't said it since, and it isn't like my heart-rate was higher than it was days prior when I was crying all over the place and getting no reaction. I don't think I am projecting. I think parrots are VERY human at times.
touché.
