Jealous Husband Returns in Form of Parrot Response

     The narrator finds it difficult to communicate with his former wife as a parrot. I personally believe the form of a parrot was chosen by the author as a symbol that it was equally difficult for the narrator to communicate with his wife in his former life. Even with this limited vocabulary, he still finds ways to communicate his feelings, not neccessarily to his wife, but at least to the reader of the story. "Bad bird!" the narrator says expressing his frustration toward the other man with his wife. I believe that if he had a few more words such as: still, love, and you, he might be able to more adequately express his feelings for his former wife when he has her attention.
