Communicating with Nature.

Lois and I were have a Bible study with a lady in her upscale home recently. In the middle of something serious, Lois began whistling. I ignored it at first in order to stay focused. But soon the others at the table began laughing.

Lois was bird-talking back and forth with a male cockateel in the other room. The exchange was funny and continued for quite a while. The event lifted the study out of the realm of the ordinary.

I've seen her play her harmonica for the sick, but never a visit with a bird.
