I was in the bathroom with Meekull while he was enjoying his daily flying session. I'm not sure how it happened, but I suddenly choked on my own spit. I couldn't breathe and couldn't stop coughing at the same time. My eyes were watering so bad it looked like I was crying. Meekull, like all birds, flits around nervously at noises and movements. Not this time. This little one sat on my shoulder the whole time and would not move. I was facing the bathroom mirror, and while wondering if I might pass out, I could see him on my shoulder, leaning sideways, watching me intently. Still, I coughed and coughed. When I finally caught my breath, he flew off. A couple minutes later, I coughed again to clear my throat. He came right back and huddled under my left ear. You can't tell me these little creatures don't understand when "someone's" in trouble. All I can say is "Wow".
