What the heck was that car doing... Never ever position the car in the blindspot for longer than necessary and definitely not when you are in a lane that is diverging from the highway. Always bigger risk of someone changing lanes at those points. Either slow down or make sure the car got enough power to pass quickly...

But sure, the truckdriver should've been more aware.

Me and a roommate had one of these birds a while back and she was just as cuddly. Her favorite spot was to hang inside my t-shirt and look out from below my chin.. We spent many evenings playing Quake together. She just loved being scratched around the head as well. It is quite a special feeling to have a bird lying in the palm just waiting to be scratched.

Unfortunately she managed to crawl inside a tube lying atop a shelf one day... the tube crashed to the floor. Rushed to the vet. Still remember with pain visiting her after they kept her for observation. She was broken but when she saw us she came limping, trying to chirp happily... It ended there.

This awoke fond and sad memories..
