Since we won't be seeing too much more warm weather around here, I decided that today would be a good day to take Ralph to visit our friend at the nursing home (it was in the low 80's (F) here today). Ralph has been there several times before, and is a popular visitor. When I visit without him, I get asked by staff and residents when Ralph is coming back. 
He didn't balk at going into his transport cage (which he hates), but couldn't wait to get out of it when we got back home. Our friend Kay enjoyed his visit, as did some of the other residents, visitors and staff members at the home. I avoided the people that I remembered from past visits who don't like birds (that's tough to understand). Nine out of ten people naturally asked if Ralph can talk. Of course, when he's there, he hardly even squawks. On the way over, he did imitate the "tick-tock" sound of the car's turn signal.
