Yesterday Will invited me to meet him and Elena for lunch. We went to Sarika's on Huebner Road for delicious Thai food.
The owner's husband was the manager. He came over to our table to talk and the talk soon turned to animals. Turns out this man has a sparrow and a parrot as pets!
He has trained the sparrow! and the parrot--so that they fly freely and return home to him, sleep on his pillow, and go with him to take the trash to the curb on a red wagon. I wouldn't have believed it but he showed us a notebook filled with pictures of him and all his pets.
The birds were shown perched on the back of his great big dog--as the man was feeding deer out of his hands. On top of the trash bags in the red wagon perched a sparrow beside a beautiful exotic parrot. And in the middle of all that was a squirrel sitting peacefully beside his large dog. I've never seen anything like it!
If you ever get a yen for Thai food, and if you want to try the delicious curry at Sarika's, be sure to ask the owner to show you his pet pictures. It's incredible.
