Ngifuna ukusho nge-wavy parrot roma yami. Sithengile lapho ngineminyaka engu-7 ubudala. URoma wayengumbala ohlanzekile ohlaza okwesibhakabhaka, muhle, muhle, kepha i-kosolapy encane, eyamnika ubuhle obukhethekile. Bonke owesifazana waveze bathandana naye ngasikhathi sinye ekuqaleni.
Kwenzeka kanjalo ukuthi amaRoma awazi ukuthi angandiza kanjani. Angazi ukuthi lihlobene nani, konke kwakunaye, kepha wesaba ukundiza. Sidlule ekuhambeni okunjengalesi: Sikubeka e-cornice noma ekhabethe intombi, endiza ngokuphepha, futhi imbewu ngemuva kwayo ezinyaweni kuye ngaseceleni kwezingoma, ezinamacala.
Ukulwa, insikazi yandiza yangena ekheji ukuya kuyo futhi idle, futhi uRoma wawela phansi, lapho kunesidingo khona, kwesinye isikhathi ukungena e-aquarium. Inzuzo yokuthi othile wayehlala egumbini, ebanjwe emanzini noma asanda kuthathwa ngokufeza ikheji.
Ngemuva kweminyaka embalwa, izinyoni zathuthwa kumama. Wayehlala edwa efulethini lokulala egumbini lokulala. Amapharothi anikeze igumbi elihlukile lapho kwakukhona khona umbhede omkhulu ophindwe kabili. Umama wabakhipha kaningana ngesonto.Ngaleso sikhathi, kwakukhona izinyoni ezintathu ekhejini - amaRoma kanye nezinsikazi ezimbili ezazihlala zithola ubuhlobo ngenxa yakhe. Inkululeko yepholi ngalinye kwakuyisifundo sakhe: Omunye wavimba ibhokisi elisegumbini, othile wawabukeka njengephepha lodonga, uKosolapo wagijima phansi, ihora noma amabili, okhathele umkhaya waphakade ehlukaniswa ngezintokazi zakhe ezimbili, kwamemeza izingoma zakhe.
Ngomkhuba nokuphumula, wayehamba ekhaya aye ekhejini, lapho ezinye izinyoni sezivele zihleli ngalesi sikhathi. Kepha ngokwazi ukuthi ngeke akwazi ukukhatha, amaRom aqala ukufuna umama efulethini lakhe. Esedlule ephaseji, ebuka ekhishini, futhi ekugcineni uthole umama kwelinye igumbi, waqala ukuzijabulisa ukuze adonsele yena uqobo.
Kuyiqiniso, ukubona inyoni, umama wabeka izandla zakhe, uRomka wahlala phezu kwazo, wafika ekhejini lakhe. Ngakho-ke kwadingeka njalo lapho izinyoni zikhishwa.
URomoche waphila nami iminyaka eyi-13 futhi wabulawa ukuguga. Manje sengineminyaka engama-41 ubudala futhi nganginezinyoni eziningi ngasikhathi sonke. Kepha amaRoma ami, abokuqala nabathandekayo, ngikhumbula kuze kube manje ngemfudumalo ekhethekile.
Uzosisiza kakhulu uma wabelana nge-athikili ekuxhumaneni nomphakathi futhi ubeke njenge. Ngiyabonga ngalokho. Bhalisela isiteshi ukungaphuthelwa izincwadi ezintsha.
