You need EXACTLY 4 teaspoons of milk for the perfect cup of tea.

Doesn't that depend on how big your cup (or mug) is?

Good point. If you have a really big mug, 4 will never be enough.
Maybe there's a formula, like 1 part tea to four parts water to 2 parts milk... what do you reckon?

Also, I never let my cat make it, 'cos she eats all the sugar.

Which is why people rarely let their cats or parrots make tea for them.

What's your parrot's name, then?

His real name is Eccles, as he's an ecclectus parrot, but most people call him Roo.

???????????

My cat's name is Palbert, she's never met a parrot before, but she says to say 'Hello' from her.

Is your parrot eclectic too, or named after the Goons character, at all?

My parrot is of the breed Ecclectus. Like dogs can be Labradors. He would also say hi to Palbert but he's too scared of cats. Well, he's just scared of anything that moves really.

Haha a two year old topic... Well if you count a teaspoon as a measurement, then a cup is also. So four teaspoons per cup sounds like a pretty good rule of thumb. If your mug is say, 1.5 cups, then it's 6 teaspoons for you.
