The parrot is walking
through the park
the grass new under
his feet, he has bored of
the air above

he checks his reflection
in a puddle, and frowns
at the mirrored sky

he is beginning to like the feel
of walking, and begins a little
strut, oh yea - wings relaxed
and folded

he thinks, 'I am beautiful'
the sun warms his back

A few people are coming his
way, and he's hurries
towards them, moving his tongue
about his mouth,
there is something on his mind

and as the people try to
go around him, his beak opens and
and words come out.

Enjoyed it. The words of the parrot seem to be left to the imagination of the reader.
