havingserious problems with procrastination,“when we say serious wemean people for whom procrastination causes great discomfort andsuffering.We ve found thatsuch people are more troubled by daily life than others,thatpossibility of anxiety is much higher among them than in the rest of thepopulation.”In a society driven by achievement,it is little wonder that notbeing able to work at full steam will

create a lively atmosphereanywhere.With the help of an energetic parrot owner,a parrot candevelop an enormous vocabulary.In addition,a parrot can be trained tosay aPrettyboy or“Polly wants a cracker,“and it also can learn to whistleor sing.No matter what an owner decides to teach a bird,training aparrot takes much patience,but the reward is a stream of chatter.Another reason for the parrot?s popularity is that this pet does notrequire much care.For example,even a spoiled parrot does not need ahouse-sitter for the purpose of daily walks and daily feeding.In fact,a parrot owner may leave his or her pet with enough food for five daysand have no fear that the parrot will overeat.Still another advantageof owning a parrot is its inexpensive food,including seeds,nuts,corn,and grain,along with an apple,banana,or carrot.Perhaps the most likely reason the parrot is becoming such a well-liked pet is that it is a combination of tameness and wildness.Becausethe parrot can live in almost any environment,it makes a fine,tamecompanion for many people.In addition,because it can be easily trained,it is a delightful performer.At the same time,its colorful feathersgive it an air of the mystery of the parrot?s native home,the jungle.Thus,the parrot,once a highly valued gift presented to kings andnoble families,is now appreciated by a growing number of people.46(A parrot can be
