Marina and the parrot

Some time ago, Marina agreed to give a home to a grey parrot whose owners didn't want him. She likes parrots, and has kept them before, so it seemed like a good idea at the time. Unfortunately, the parrot didn't settle in his new home. He started to pluck all the feathers out of his breast, and Marina was reluctantly coming to the conclusion that she would have to give the parrot back.
Then the parrot met Marina's friend Jumbo - and fell in love. To the extent of trying to have sex with his hat. Fortunately, Jumbo loves the parrot in return, so now he's going round every day to make a fuss of the parrot, and after a while, the parrot will move in with him. A happy ending for all concerned.

Meanwhile, the B&R did a feature on Hay-on-Fire this week, and they reckon 5,000 people were there, which bodes well for next year.
