Chapter Forty
I laid my last egg today, egg number six. I'm sitting on them contently, dozing.
Clouds was a pretty good feeder, so good, that I didn't have to eat anything else.
Suddenly, the human came into the room.
"Not again!" I moaned, and protected the yet unscratched eggs.
He chased me out of the box. How rude!
I glared at him as he took my eggs out again, and scratched them with the wooden thing.
He finally put my eggs back.
"About time!" I screeched at him.
He laughed.
"You're a good parent, Apple." He told me.
Whatever he said, I don't think I liked it. If a budgie can frown, I frowned at him.
Crawling back into the box, I sat on my eggs again.
Humans were so annoying.
"I HATE YOU!!!" I screeched one final time before closing my eyes.
"Hey, wake up!" I opened my eyes to see Clouds perching on the entrance of the box.
"You're almost squashing that egg over there."
"Oh, I am?" I looked, and moved, so that I wouldn't be.
"Hungry?"
"Yeah."
Clouds fed me for the third time today.
"So when are these eggs hatching?" I asked.
"The first will hatch in about 15 days from now."
"Oh. Ok," I chirped, disappointed that I had to wait so long, "See ya."
