Honest to god my BRILLIANT Grannie taught her pet budgerigar Jamie, to mimic this in perfect diction, of her eloquent English voice.

“If you do not have anything nice to say dear, then best not to say anything at all.”

An amazing generation - that given they went through times of war - were able to get over themselves.

To see the best in things.

Wow, what a clever little bird & how much patience my Grannie clearly had. Gosh, if Jamie were still here he would be an internet sensation :) ...Thinking of him made me check out current Budgie's who are sharing their talents - I just love Disco...BRILLIANT.
