Sugar Thieves

My husband was in Australia for business recently. He sent me a photo-text from breakfast and asked if this parrot was cuter than our cat (her name is Stray Cat):

Before I had a chance to respond, he sent this photo and told me that they swoop in when your coffee is served and steal the sugar packages:

The following text conversation ensued:

Husband: Stray Cat is cuter.

Me: But they are more colorful and you don’t use sugar in your coffee anyway.

Husband: You’re right. Stray Cat is out. I want a parrot.

Me: I’ll let her know.
