This person sounds strangely familiar to me.
No, but seriously, thanks for all the advice on escaping. i think I'm going to go with the pole vault. The next time he opens the cage to refill my dish with those friggin seeds, I'm going for it. on the way down I'm gonna peck the bastard in the eye and poop on his papers.

I'll call you from Nevada.
maybe we can hook up. I'll wear a feather in my hat.

Love,
Desmond.
