Bird in Jungle
One day I made the mistake of placing my wife Pat's cockatiel in a Yucca plant. The following would be more accurately described as "Bird Eats Yucca." And I'm sure if I really turned him loose, it could be called "Bird Eats Jungle." I'm afraid the bird has no name. He is simply "the bird."


Thinking about it, the bird specie is native to the desert regions of Australia, so eating a desert plant would seem natural. Except, of course, that this particular yucca is native to Mexico and South America (yucca elephantipes). The bird is a "cinnamon" cockatiel.
