FEATURE A
couple of years ago we joined the National Trust with the idea of getting out and about and seeing places we had never got around to visiting. Well we enjoyed the few visits we did make but Monty got immense pleasure from our Trust membership!
As part of our new members pack they sent us a cool bag. It was a very nice bag but realistically we were not going to use it whereas Monty just loves things like that. So the bag was hung up in our living room and Monty commenced a programme of conversion work on it.
The work progressed nicely along the following lines:
1 Remove Trust emblems from the zip toggles
2 Remove sliders from zips and generally mess up the zip teeth
3 Carry out preliminary investigation of interior of bag
4 Chew lining into suitable size pieces and toss most of them out of the bag
5 Chew insulation layer into small pieces, remove some and leave rest as layer in bottom of bag
6 Create second access by chewing an ever enlarging hole in the bottom of the bag.
In between all this hard work the handle on the top of the bag provided a convenient perch on which to rest and plan the next stage of work.
BIRD SCENE 25
By the end of our first year as National Trust members the bag was in a pretty sorry state but it had given Monty hours and hours of pleasure. When we renewed our membership I wrote to the Trust and said that whilst we had enjoyed our first year our parrot had had even more pleasure from our membership. In the hope that perhaps another bag might be forthcoming I even sent along a photograph of the remodelled bag. I don’t think they were impressed. The next thing that happened was the return of our subscription with a letter saying they were sorry we had cancelled our membership. It took quite a while to explain that I had not actually cancelled our membership. I can only think we had been drummed out of the Trust for allowing our parrot to vandalise their bag!
