Whilst visiting one of the outpatient departments at my local hospital one of the Nursing Sisters brought in a school project she had done on parrots over 30 years ago for me to see.

Considering how long ago it was written I found it upto date with information and excellently put together with articles, drawings and magazine pictures.In it was a lovely story she had written, which I thought I would share with our younger readers, I know all our friends at the Britannia International School in Rome will love it.Perhaps the children would like to write a story of their own to put on the website.

Many thanks to Sister Chris Sutton of St.James Hospital Leeds for allowing us to print "Polly Parrot`s Bright Idea" written at the age of 8

This is a scanned copy of the original Story
