Wedding Vows
by Carole Campbell
These vows were used at the Wedding of Tara and Rafferty on February 8, 1996, and were printed in the March issue of SQUAWK, the publication of the Big Apple Bird Association.
As birds of the 90's, Tara and Rafferty, also known as Slimebucket, have written their personal vows.
If any now present, bird or human, know of any impediment to this union, squawk now or forever hold your peace.
Tara, do you promise to:
Work on Slime until he cleans up his act.
Share Mom's left shoulder with Slime.
Keep cage up to Slime's standards.
Faithfully tend any eggs and subsequent little "slimes" and make sure they don't grow up to be big "Slimes"
Love Slime and the rest of the flock forever.
Slime, do you promise to:
Let Tara turn you into the bird you should be.
Make strong efforts to redirect your affection from Mom to Tara, and share Mom with Tara, even though you want Mom all to yourself.
Cheerfully share your food with Tara -- except your pinenuts.
Be a diligent and loving father to any little "slimes" that might result from your union.
Love Tara and try to love the rest of the flock forever.
By the power invested in me by the Big Apple Bird Association, I pronounce you husbird and henwife.
