Normally, Julius is all about the drama (in the most fabulous way), whether it’s stealing snacks, showing off his feathers, or pretending he’s in a Star Wars dogfight. But today? He had a different kind of look in his eye. One full of thought… reflection… and maybe just a hint of judgment.

He climbed up on his perch, puffed his chest out, raised his majestic crest, and posed the question:

“If you were alive during the American Revolution… would you have been a Rebel or a Loyalist?”

Yep. That’s the kind of conversation you have when you live with a cockatoo that’s part philosopher, part drama queen. And he wasn’t asking lightly, either. He paced. He stared. He gave that little head tilt that says, “Choose wisely, human.” Think about it — when everything was uncertain, when things were hard and dangerous, would you have stood with the underdog Patriots fighting for freedom and independence? Or would you have stayed loyal to the British Crown, valuing tradition, order, and stability?

Julius doesn’t judge (okay, he does, but mostly with love). He just wants to know where your heart is. Are you the type to throw tea in the harbor and shout about liberty?

Or would you rather keep calm and carry on under the King’s rule?

He’s still waiting for answers. So next time you see him, be ready. Because Julius isn’t just a pretty face — he’s a bird with questions. And if you say “Loyalist,” just know… he might scream at you like you just stepped on the Constitution.

Choose wisely. Julius is listening.
