Rambo, a Very Lucky Budgie

During one recent hot day, Rambo fled the coop. While his people friends were looking for him in the trees and bushes around where they live, their beloved pet already found a comfortable perch in a house a half of a block away.

Rambo is not only talkative. He is a fast talker too. It did not take long for his two new friends, John and Diane, rolled out their digital camera and color printer. Many posters about a very worried budgie were on neighborhood telephone poles on the same day Rambo went AWOL.

In the morning after Rambo’s escape, his distraught owners thought out a different strategy to get their pet bird home. They put his cage on the steps leading to the front door of their house. They thought the cage adorned with mirrors and shining beads might help Rambo remember where his home was.

Then, a passerby was on her routing morning walk. She saw the telling posters on the telephone poles. She also noticed an empty bird cage in someone’s yard. That made her curious. So she decided to see if there was a connection between the posters and an empty cage.
Eureka! Now Rambo is home contemplating for his next excursion.

In this case, curiosity did not kill the cat but found a bird. - Ayee
