it was a programme about budgies
i settled down to watch it with my budgie on my knee. it was labouring under the fond delusion that i wanted it to peck every bit of thread off my embroidered jeans. i thought it would be nice for joey to watch its relatives in the wild. turned out i showed it a snuff movie :(

to be fair, i don't think the budgie noticed
it once spent an entire year picking every single bit of silver embroidery off a dressing gown that my mother had. by the time it got to the hard-to-reach bits, it would end up swinging by its beak and then falling into her lap. thick. if it had been a wild bird, it wouldn't have lived past about 2 months.
