Parrot, Alex hatches, 1976

[865] [advice-parrot-2] Sunday noon: write Parrot, 1976, and 400 on the notebook at the children’s corner. Put “Alex hatches” beside Parrot. 1976 is the second line on the notebook; 400 is the next. Before you leave the children’s corner, reread only Parrot. At the picture book, say Alex hatches and 400 aloud.

Parrot sits in the field note for 1976 under “Alex hatches”, and the figure beside it is 400. At the end of the children’s table, check that the label and the notebook match, and correct the notebook if they do not. Do not merge a zoo birthday with the field survey. This week, keep only the field side. Meters below repeat the six atlas scores as gauges; they are relative marks, not laboratory certificates. At the children’s corner, open Parrot so the notebook shows 1976 first, 400 next, and “Alex hatches” beside them.

This week, before you open the animal book in the children’s corner, write only the name, the year, and the figure on the notebook, then read those three lines once and close the book. At home, leave the notebook on the shoe shelf and, the next morning, read the three lines aloud once, then shut it. The order is Parrot, 1976, 400, then “Alex hatches”. When the picture book is done, look again only at 1976 for Parrot and leave 400 on the notebook.

Do not line the species up by size, danger, or popularity. If someone asks which animal is greater, read the field entry for that year again. Check the picture-book label against the notebook, and leave any ranking space blank. Do not merge a zoo birthday with the field survey. This week, keep only the field side. Match Alex hatches with 400 at the children’s corner before you close 1976 for Parrot. Parrot sits in the field note for 1976 under “Alex hatches”, and the figure beside it is 400.

This week, before you open the animal book in the children’s corner, write only the name, the year, and the figure on the notebook, then read those three lines once and close the book. Parrot sits in the field note for 1976 under “Alex hatches”, and the figure beside it is 400.1976
