I have a little Peach-face Lovebird named Bingo. ( Of course her name is BINGO...What else would a lady who is addicted to the game of Bingo name her bird?)
Anyway, I had bought a children's Bingo set for my friend's daughter, for her birthday. (A future Bingo Babe in training!)
The set comes with little plastic chips with a Bingo number printed on each one, which the caller would pull out of a little bag. As we were setting up the game to play, we dumped all the pieces out onto the table.
My pet bird Bingo, who was sitting on my shoulder at the time, was fascinated by all the brightly colored chips. She hopped down onto the table and after carefully examining each chip, she began picking them up one at a time and putting them in a pile on the other side of the table. With each trip she would pick up one or two chips and drop them back down on the table before making her final decision on which one she would bring back to her pile.
As I watched her, the thought occurred to me that this little lovebird put careful consideration into each pick. I have spent hours agonizing over which numbers I would use for my "U-Pick-ums" or some Bingo Halls call them "Circle 7's". It is a game where the Player picks seven numbers and circles them on a special sheet. The player wins when all of the seven numbers the player has picked have been called.
Then the idea came to me!
I pulled all the chips back into one pile, and this time each time Bingo picked out a chip, I wrote the number down until she had picked out 7 numbers.
That night at Bingo I won the "U-Pick-Um" Jackpot! So you know who is going to pick out my seven lucky numbers from now on? My little psychic friend Bingo the Peach-faced
Lovebird!
