When I was a kid, my mother had a cockatiel, which she allowed me to name Floyd. Floyd's brain was very, very small. I once had to fish him out from the behind some build-in kitchen cabinets because there wasn't enough room for him to fly out. Floyd's application to Mensa was likely to be rejected. However, there was one toy that Floyd prized above all others -- his mirror. Floyd would spend hours pecking at his reflection and bobbing his head in approbation. Somewhere along the way, I picked up Floyd's hobby. I invite you to peck away at my mirror.
