“This bird doesn’t talk”, she told the owner.
“Does he have a mirror in his cage?”, he asked. “ Parrot love mirrors. They see their reflection and start a conversation.” He replied.
The old woman bought a mirror and left in the cage. The next day she returned back and inform the shopkeeper that the bird still wasn’t talking .
“How about a ladder? Parrot loves ladders. The happy parrot is a talkative parrot.”
The woman bought a ladder and left it in the cage, But the next day, she was back.
“ Does your parrot have a swing? No? Well, that’s the problem. Once he starts swinging, he’ll talk up like a storm.”

“The parrot died”, She said.
The Pet store owner was shocked. “I’m so sorry. Tell me. Did he ever say anything?”, he asked.
“Yes, right before it died” , the woman replied.
“In a weak voice, it asked me, ‘ don’t they sell any food at that pet store?”
