Yesterday morning, Yahoo, one of our african lovebirds got out of her cage and we almost lost hope of ever finding her again. At around 3PM, my brother-in-law saw her on top of the acacia tree in the church yard in front of our house. She was flitting from tree to tree calling to her partner, Google. Google frantically tried to get out of his cage, so we brought his cage up in our terrace and hung it on the window sill. Yahoo, heard her partner and went closer to where he is. We were waiting for her to get inside the window and close it, we also have a mosquito net at hand to trap her in. It was a long wait but she eventually flew to the top of Google’s cage inside the room and my brother-in-law quickly shut the window and my husband threw the mosquito net on top of her. So Yahoo went inside their cage again and ate and drank, 4PM is feeding time and she’s hungry. She went away at 8AM and came back at 4PM after finding out that the outside world is never fun without someone to share it with.

That, my friends, is the story of my prodigal bird, Yahoo. And below is a picture of Yahoo enjoying her sojourn at the outside world.

Which reminded me of a song by Bob Marley that I love, Three Little Birds… And seeing this music video of the song sung by a cute little Miss Connie Talbot, I just couldn’t resist posting it, the better to listen to it again and again… I included the lyrics for those people who like me loves to sing with music videos…

Dont worry about a thing,
cause every little thing is gonna be all right.
Singin: dont worry about a thing,
cause every little thing is gonna be all right!

Rise up this mornin,
Smiled with the risin sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin, (this is my message to you-ou-ou:)

Singin: dont worry bout a thing,
cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin: dont worry (dont worry) bout a thing,
cause every little thing gonna be all right!

Rise up this mornin,
