An old widow bought a pair of love birds for company after her hubby died she went back to the pet shop to ask how to identify the male from the female ....slip down early in the morning and catch the bird on top and slide this white ring over his head so off she went and carried out this task ... the following day the vicar called to see how the old dear was coping I`ll just put the kettle on she said as the vicar said how nice it was for her to have the birds for company "What a lovely pair of birds you are" said the vicar to which the male replied " what did they catch you at it as well mate"....regards turnpin:lol:
