To Know Her- Corrected and Slowed Down Version

On November the 11th, 2000,  Victor the budgie got a new friend. We named her Betty. We only brought her home about three hours prior to this recording. Victor seemed to like her and had something to say in the microphone so I recorded him. In the recording,  he is excited and talking very fast. It's quite incredible how he seems nervous about what to do as he had never seen another budgie since he was a few weeks old.

In this clip Victor says:

What do you want me to say to know her?
Victor has a day like a man wants today
I tell you God is good to believe in. Fantastic!
God is here, telling Victor I'm blessed
I'm happy dad, I didn't imagine.
At least we can play with her
She talk fast.
So I  need to clean up my sh_t and cage
When you've poor litter, we may have contusion
We really have to do something
Yes maybe you'll need to push me.
That's a mirror.
Tell me what you know it cost to free a budgie
Your to say to them, for sure, thankyou, at the store
You do this.
Tell me I'm best my Betty.

Ryan's comments:

This is very interesting as it shows that Victor has compassion for another life. He may have known that he was sick when Betty arrived, for he only lived about three months after she came. When Victor says, "That's a mirror." I believe he is talking to Betty, who is in the cage looking into his mirror. Victor also shows that he is aware that she came from a store and he wanted me to thank the pet store. Again, this shows care and compassion as well as intelligence.
