Trumpeting Tango

Its raining again. Tango our Green Amazon parrot loves the rain. She fluffs up her wings and dances about on her perch whenever she hears the sound of dripping water. Then she starts to squawk. You can hear her from outside. Even across the road over the sound of the traffic. She loves a good old squawk and she has been doing a lot of it these last few days as it has been raining quite hard. Problem is that when the phone rings we cannot hear what the caller is saying. The only way to shut Tango up is to give her some celery. She just loves celery and will sit and strip a celery stalk within about 5 minutes and then it is back to her incessant squawking. I just can't wait for a bit of dry weather and a headache free day! Someone said the other day that it wasn't just raining 'cats and dogs' it was raining 'Tangos trumpets' as well.
