No sooner have you settled in, the cage shakes, the earth moves... and suddenly, your sky disappears. Grenville, being a nervous character, went into the nest and hid himself. I took the opportunity to look around. It sure is a big world out there.

Extremely big!

Then we were whisked off into a dark box for a while, brought back, and everything was clean and smelling strange. I immediately ducked back into he nest to make it smell right, but Grenville quickly discovered that we had new sand in our bath. "Come on in!" he shouted.

While I was getting ready to jump in, I heard a startled voice from above, coming from that creature that controls our cage. "Hang on -- this CAN'T be right..." I heard him say.

Next thing I knew, I was being picked up, turned over, and subject to a very rude examination.

"I knew it!" he exclaimed. "Pelham, you're a girl! You're Pelhamina!" So what's the fuzz about? I could've told him that. Did he ask? Nah.

Putting me back down, he muttered something about pet shops and having to get yet another cage. He didn't seem at all pleased.
