To The Editor,
I read, with rising feathers and flared nostrils, the recent letter calling for Anne T. Parrot’s removal. Fired? Fired? For what—squawking too truthfully?
Last I checked, this was still a free aviary. If Anne ruffles a few feathers, maybe those feathers needed ruffling. Not every parrot needs to chirp politely while pecking at millet. Some of us prefer a sharp beak and a sharper mind.
This attempt to cancel Anne is nothing less than an intrusion on the sacred right to squawk. Loudly. Snobbishly, if necessary. The world is full of chirpy yes-birds—Anne dares to caw differently.
I, for one, am glad to see The Parrot News standing firm against the real bully: censorship. Keep letting her fly.
In solidarity,
Fierce & Feathered
