Parrots – Fusion Nepal

When a mother wants some parrots, she’s going to get some parrots.

In a hilarious Twitter thread full of twists, turns, and birds, Twitter user Himynameisnoor documented a very interesting day she had in which her mother, after years of holding off, finally went and bought parrots.

It sounds odd, but Noor explains all of it, starting with a secretive phone call she received from her mother on Saturday morning.

Me: YOU CAN’T HAVE A SECRET PARROT IN THE HOUSE
