A Parrot Named Bongo Marie
Sally Blanchard's parrot Bongo Marie didn't get along with her other parrot, Paco. In fact, Bongo Marie clearly didn't like Paco at all! One day, Blanchard cooked a chicken for dinner. She started to cut the chicken with a knife. "Oh, no! Paco!" Bongo Marie said loudly and laughed. Blanchard laughed, too, and said, "That's not Paco." "Oh...no," said Bongo Marie. Rhis time, she sounded disappointed. Then the parrot laughed at her own joke.
