错配的鹦鹉
文/雪影静怡
“ 鹦鹉学舌”是一个成语，老师常常说，别做鹦鹉学舌者，要有自己的思想和创意，才能更快地取得进步，才能更好地发展。
小时候看电影，常看到富有的家庭，有闲情逸致的人会养鹦鹉。每看到这个细节，听鹦鹉说话的时候，就想着有一天会养鹦鹉。

好长一段时间，姑娘夜里上完自习回到家，会在楼下喂猫，买火腿肠喂，或者从家里拿了吃的就去喂。
有一天，看到街头卖鹦鹉的，因那时有空闲，就在那儿多待了会儿。看着看着就想为女儿买对儿鹦鹉，看着虎皮鹦鹉钩钩的嘴，鲜艳漂亮的羽毛，巧妙灵活的体态，都使我不由自主地想到比养猫好多了。 于是就买了一个蓝色的鸟笼，捉鸟时，就想买首选青黄色，这是小时候小伙伴儿们较喜欢的颜色，因为买到的一盒又一盒蜡笔，首先用完的是草青色。第二只就选白色吧，却怎么都选不到可以和青色配对的白色。
换第二套方案吧，先选了一只白色的鹦鹉，然后再选可以配对儿的青色鹦鹉，却依然配不到满意的。
出第三套方案，先选好最先选定的青色鹦鹉，然后再选一只蓝色的，可是我看好的蓝色却也配不上黄色的。卖鸟人捉了一只很瘦小、很不起眼的一只蓝色鹦鹉，她说这只合适，就这样先养吧，如果来了白色的你可以来换。我点了点头，就这样吧。
我把蓝色鸟笼绑到电动车前车篓上，确定非常稳妥，然后认真问了关于鹦鹉的饮食、睡觉习惯、适宜温度等，很高兴地、小心翼翼地把鹦鹉带回了家。
回到家，等女儿回来，告诉她以后养鹦鹉是她的责任，并告诉她养鹦鹉的初衷是为了让她远离猫。
最初几天，我和女儿天天观察鹦鹉的变化，教它们“你好”，并观察鹦鹉的变化，还告诉姑娘若喜欢白色的，还可以换只白的。姑娘说蓝色的就好看，我也想已经领到家里的若再换就有点儿对不住蓝色的。

就这样养了青青和兰兰一对儿鹦鹉，几天之后，换水、清洁鸟笼成了她爸的事情，我专管对话和出去遛鸟。
仔细观察，慢慢发现黄色公鹦反应非常敏捷、调皮，跳上跳下地不停。蓝色雌鹦稳重、冷静还善于思考。 姑娘说兰兰老欺负青青，我回答：“兰兰是当家的，青青得听话，冷静的一般更智慧，冷静的当领导的多。”
观察的时间长了，在放飞的时段儿，发现兰兰一般是自己主动回到笼中，青青一般都需要被捉进去。而且从笼中出来时，一般是青青先出来，兰兰观察一段儿确定安全再出来。 回笼的时候，若青青被先捉进笼中，兰兰一看就自己迅速回笼。若碰到青青想再出笼时，兰兰就会用鸟喙啄他进去，或者直接用身体推着他进去。
有时我在想，是不是天下的母性天生就应该顾全大局，为了后代的绵延。很多时候，生活中很多人，是不是会出现将错就错？！
有朋友早早就嘱咐我，若生鸟蛋儿了就不要吃，孵出小鹦鹉之后，一定先送她来养。一言为定，我和朋友都在期待着。

"Parrot tongue" is an idiom. Teachers often say, don't be a parrot tongue, you must have your own thoughts and creativity, so that you can make progress faster and develop better.When I was a child, watching movies, I often saw wealthy families and people who were leisurely raising parrots. Every time I saw this detail, when I listened to the parrots talking, I thought that one day I would raise parrots.For a long time, when the girl returned home from self-study at night, she would feed the cat downstairs, buy ham sausages to feed, or take food from home to feed.One day, when I saw a parrot seller on the street, I stayed there for a while because I had free time at that time. Looking at it, I wanted to buy a pair of parrots for my daughter. Looking at the hooked beak of the budgie, its bright and beautiful feathers, and its ingenious and flexible posture, I couldn't help but think that it was much better than keeping a cat. So I bought a blue bird cage. When catching birds, I wanted to buy the first choice of turquoise, which was the favorite color of my friends when I was a child. Because of the boxes of crayons I bought, the first one I used up was grass cyan. The second one was white, but I couldn't choose a white that could be paired with cyan.Let's change to the second set of plans, first choose a white parrot, and then choose a cyan parrot that can be matched, but it is still not satisfactory.For the third set of plans, choose the first green parrot, and then choose a blue one, but the blue I like is not worthy of the yellow one. The bird seller caught a very thin and inconspicuous blue parrot. She said this one is suitable, so let's keep it first. If you come with a white one, you can change it. I nodded, and that's it.I tied the blue bird cage to the front basket of the electric car, making sure it was very safe, and then asked carefully about the parrot's diet, sleeping habits, and suitable temperature. I happily and carefully brought the parrot home.When she got home, she waited for her daughter to come back and told her that it was her responsibility to raise parrots in the future, and that the original intention of raising parrots was to keep her away from cats.In the first few days, my daughter and I observed the changes of the parrots every day, taught them "hello", and observed the changes of the parrots, and also told the girl that if she likes the white one, she can change it to a white one. The girl said that the blue one looks good, and I also think that if I change the one I have already received at home, I will be a little sorry for the blue one.In this way, she raised a pair of parrots, Qingqing and Lan Lan. A few days later, changing the water and cleaning the bird cage became her father's business. I was in charge of conversation and walking the birds.After careful observation, I slowly found that the yellow male parrot was very agile and mischievous, jumping up and down non-stop. The blue female parrot was steady, calm and good at thinking. The girl said that Lan Lan was always bullying Qingqing, and I replied: "Lan Lan is the head of the family, Qingqing is obedient, calm is generally wiser, and calm is more of a leader."After observing for a long time, during the release period, it was found that Lan Lan usually took the initiative to return to the cage by herself, and Qingqing generally needed to be caught. And when coming out of the cage, Qingqing usually came out first, and Lan Lan observed for a while to make sure it was safe before coming out. When returning to the cage, if Qingqing was caught in the cage first, Lan Lan quickly returned to the cage by herself. If Qingqing wanted to come out of the cage again, Lan Lan would peck him in with her beak, or push him in directly with her body.Sometimes I wonder if motherhood in the world is born with the overall situation in mind, for the sake of the continuation of future generations. Many times, many people in life, do they make mistakes?!A friend told me early on not to eat the eggs if they were born, and after the parrot hatched, I must send her to raise it first. It's a deal, my friend and I are looking forward to it.作者简介：
