As Grover on Sesame Street
— not that i ever watch it
with our pet parrots —
says: “Oh, lower case “i,”
you are so cute with your
little dot!”
Grover is right! It is a
marvelous letter and helps
to represent what i am
(even though it really isn’t
what i am whatsoever)!

Grover is always right😊. Wonderful photo too!
Yes, Belinda, Grover is always right and so cool… not that i ever watched him! 😉
i agree with grover
Yes, Grover is truly a great sage! 🙂
What a magnificent photo – gorgeous!
Thank you, Carol, i appreciate that! 🙂
Great shot. And thumbs up to “i”.
Thanks much, and keep watching Sesame Street for further enlightenment! 🙂
… and your two parrots don’t watch it with you either, so there’s a beautiful balance there 😆
Yes! … and i saw a monster in the mirror and this is what i heard it say… Whoo whoo whoo and a Didlelee doo… 🙂
I love the eyes that look like the i that spys the eyes looking for i’s!
Yes! 🙂
i agree…and those butterflies are gorgeous, Tom!
i’m glad that you agree, Sandy. Thanks re the fliers! 🙂
You are welcome.
Beautiful post! I love the photo!
Thank you, Sabine; i am appreciative of that! 🙂
I suppose when we take the attention off of ole capital “I” and segue to lower case “i” then we decrease personal selfishness, narcissism, and realize it ain’t always about “me.” Pearl Crescent Butterflies Tom? Where do you live? Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom? LOL 😀
Yes, regarding that lower case “i” but we have to actually do it; action speaks louder than mere words!
Thanks, Kym! 🙂
Yep! 🙂
Ah! Recognition in hindsight – Sesame Street made parrots of my kids in their preschool years … spitting back little phrases in fascinating combinations. Do you think real parrots are used to test the content for effective recall??
Gorgeous butterflies, btw!
Thanks, Jazz! Amazingly, sometimes the parrots actually answer some of the questions that they ask on Sesame Street. For instance, Elmo on the show, at one point, asks, “What comes after six?” Scarlet was eating… and lifts her head out of her bowl and says, “Seven.” 🙂
So very cool!
i say that if it worked for e.e. cummings, it can work for everyone!
Your parrots’ vocabulary is great from what you’ve mentioned to me, or told us here – obviously they are learning a lot from Sesame Street. We won’t tell if they don’t.
Spectacular capture, Tom!
