Web Watch has a friend who used to own a pet parakeet.
We say “used to”, as Alvin wasn’t very happy to be kept in his cage. So every few days, our friend would let Alvin the Parakeet fly around the apartment – just because he could.
This arrangement seemed to work out well for Alvin. Until one day when our friend opened up Alvin’s cage door like he has done dozens upon dozens of times before… and Alvin flew straight out the apartment’s sliding glass door that our friend inadvertently left open.
Whoops.
Alvin was never seen again.
