Hi. Yodit here. For those of you who don't know me, this is me:
Yes, yes. I know. I *am* an angel. You speak the truth.
But I'm not here to state the obvious. The reason I hijacked Emily's computer for a bit is because I think she needs a little help. See, she's been so caught up in showing you videos and telling you stories about my new flockmate, Archie. And she's always spent a lot of time talking about those loudmouth Ekkies in the other room, Bayu and Cah'ya. And she's been writing about Ernie in the Pionus forum. And even when she's on the Poi forum, she's talking about my BHP friend, Zuma, and how much he loves her boyfriend, Chuck. But does she talk about ME? Hardly! This is an obvious oversight on her part, so I'm here to correct her mistake.
See, what you may not realize (you are only human, after all, and therefore your observational skills and intuition are not perfect) is that I am no ordinary bird. Emily named me Yodit after the Queen of Sheba because I am the queen of all Ethiopian birds, Red Bellied Parrots and otherwise! In addition to my stunning beauty -
(See what I mean?) - I am also extremely smart, funny, sweet, and am quite the diplomat.
I have an adorable voice and use it to call Emily's attention to me. I give kisses and allow people to give me kisses and scritches (you're welcome, humans). I am very smart and figure out how to vanquish all of my foraging toys. I am an AMAZING flyer, and like to do so a lot. I can hover, back up, and turn entire 360 degree circles in mid-air. I've heard that some humans claim that only hummingbirds can back up in flight, but I have clearly proven them wrong! But the very most special thing about me is that I am an ambassador bird! I assist Emily in classes she teaches about bird ownership, and also when she goes to children's groups to teach them about birds. I am missing one eye and one toe (which is a good thing, because if I was any more fabulous I'd be too fabulous for humans' fragile hearts to handle!), so I also teach children that it's better than ok to be different--it's preferred!
Here I am, kissing one of my young students:
And here's one of my super cute baby pictures, showing off the missing eye that brings my cuteness down to a level that is safe for human absorption. No cardiac arrests on my conscience!
So you see, I FORGIVE Emily for not mentioning me as much as the other birds. I am confident enough in my splenditude that I know it isn't because she doesn't love me as much. It's probably because if she started talking about me, she'd end up babbling on for WAY too long. I mean, I am a VERY humble bird, and look at how much I've said about myself! Can you even imagine how much SHE would say if she tried to talk about me? Really now. I'm doing you all a favor by speaking on her behalf; otherwise you'd have to read a whole book about me. Although, that wouldn't be a bad thing!
Anyway, I guess I'll let Emily have her computer back now. I'm off to get my beauty sleep so that I can continue being spectacular tomorrow! Farewell, human adorers! Kisses to you all!

You can leave her to me in your will.

Yodit, you are too spectacular for words!
