SUNSHINE AUDITIONS FOR A MUSICAL
Our little yellow cockatiel Sunshine has his home in the living room.Last weekend, we shared Sunshine's space while stretching out on our livingroom sofas and watching the movie LES MISERABLES a couple of times. We love theclassic songs and storylines in this movie that started out as musical theater.
Even though we covered his cage during the evening we viewed the movie,Sunshine must have been listening intently. Two days after our LES MISERABLESfeast, Linda did her usual morning ritual. Before she started eating breakfast,she closed the door and put up a gate to keep our dog Leaf and cat Cuddles outof the living room. Then she brought out Sunshine from his cage and placed himon the living room mantel, where he likes to run back and forth between thewindows on either side.
During his morning mantel time, Sunshine usually whistles and singstunes he's sung for years. Occasionally he imitates a new whistled song Lindahas offered to him and adds his own composed flourishes. Then the bird andLinda whistle back and forth to each other.
This morning, though, Sunshine sang melodies that sounded familiar butthat Linda had never heard him whistle. After a moment, she recognized them.Sunshine was singing melodies from LES MISERABLES. He treated her to anotherway of enjoying a beautiful musical score and symphony.
Linda thanked Sunshine for his gift to her that day.
Has an animal surprised you with a gift or blessing that was exactly what would be best suited to bringing you joy?
