Food Bloggie Pets of the Month Submission: Chester the Cockatiel

The lovely Doodles, Mooncrazy, & Maltese Parakeet at Peanut Butter Etouffee announced the first ever Food Bloggy Pets of the Month, asking participants to blog about "any pet, as long as it's breathing." (Hee!)

Dead Parrot sketch jokes aside, here's Chester, a white-faced cockatiel, expressing interest in my copy of The Fannie Farmer Cookbook. Though, in all honesty, he's less likely to cook from it than chew up its pages. (If you look closely, you can see he snuck in a quick nibble of the Helen Corbitt Cook Book near his feet.) His hobbies include:

• Chewing on books
• Whistling the theme song from "The Sting"
• Meowing
• Favorite TV Character: Zippy in "John From Cincinnati"
• Chewing on paper

Thanks to Doodles, Mooncrazy, & Maltese Parakeet for hosting this event!
