Nicknames

I was also nicknamed Bird and Canary and Budgie (by my father, my grandfather on his side and friends of my father) because I was always too small for my age and the way I moved and flapped my hands and looked at things from the sides of my eyes and acted 'like a bird' or 'birdlike' and my father and I also have this unusual thing where birds are not afraid of us, will land on us, and I can pick up eggs and put them back in a nest and the mother bird still cares for them.
