A Change In the Environment
Soon it was time for Tippi to join the society. After a decade in the wild, this was a huge acclamation for her. She and her parents moved to the city and moved into a small apartment. There were no animals, not even a dog as there was no room. Tippi felt she had left an entire continent of Africa for a life bound by metal pillars and cement walls. She could not believe that people chose to live like this.
Difficult Acclimatization
Tippi was enrolled in a public school in Paris. After two years of struggling to conform and make friends, Tippi’s parents gave her a budgie as a gift hoping this might cheer her up as she really missed her animals. They also agreed to homeschool her. Tippi’s budgie went everywhere with her even on the Metro. He would fly next to her or sit or her head or even sleep on her shoulder. Without this bird, Tippi would not have been able to go on like this.
