About Befriending Krishna - Free Elective
From assignment to affection, a quiet companionship a feathered friend.
In 11th grade, as part of my school’s free elective project, we were encouraged to choose something we would genuinely enjoy working on. For me, the decision came instantly—I had always dreamed of having a bird companion. With some persuasion (and by convincing my mother it was compulsory for school), I finally brought home a tiny yellow, white, and grey cockatiel. The moment I saw him, I knew he would be my lifelong friend. I named him Krishna.
From the very first day, Krishna and I began building a bond that has only grown stronger with time. We learned together—patiently and joyfully. He learned to perch on my sleeve, climb up my arm, and respond to gentle cues. We even learned to fly together, with him gliding confidently across the room to land on my hand or shoulder. These small but meaningful milestones were moments of celebration for both of us.
Our companionship extends beyond training. We whistle songs to each other, and our favorite remains “If You’re Happy and You Know It.” Sometimes, he begins the tune, and I follow; other times, I start, and he joins in with his cheerful chirps. In every interaction, Krishna has taught me patience, responsibility, and the joy of nonverbal communication.
What began as a school project has become something far more enduring: a friendship that feels inseparable, a bond built on trust and care, and a reminder that learning is most powerful when it is shared.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country
