OMG, I want this book! Parrot Reincarnation Plotline!
Two of my favorite topics combined in one! :bounce: Parrots...reincarnation... :bounce:


The two main characters, Yellow Streak and Angel, are parrots that lived millions of years apart and yet they are inextricably linked by bonds stronger than the advance of time. Yellow Streak is born to a primitive parrot species living a marginal existence in an isolated mountain range near the Hudson Bay at the end of the Cretaceous period sixty-five million years ago. She witnesses the demise of the dinosaurs. Yellow Streak's gifted intellect and unique abilities help her flock to survive planet-wide devastation by a comet impact. Yellow Streak is the "genetic Eve" for all modern parrot species that populate the earth today. Angel, a Moluccan cockatoo, is born into an equally frightening and unpredictable world populated by humans. She learns how to reach out to two people, bringing them together, sharing with them her companionship and love. Yellow Streak and Angel confront similar challenges and suffer through dark, dangerous periods. In the end, the two parrots are brought together in a surprising way. Angel discovers her reason for existence. Angel is Yellow Streak, returned to earth to carry out a special mission.

2. I'd like to watch wild cockatoos sometime
My cockatoo, who is human-imprinted, often acts in really puzzling ways that I think must be his way of responding to drives he has no outlet for or doesn't know what to do with, like the drive to care for babies. If I could watch the wild ones maybe I could figure out things like him running under the computer desk and screeching repeatedly.

Running for shelter, and sounding the alarm...:7
