Lovely!!! Great spot
I would love to see an African Grey. Fell in love with "Alex" when I saw the work Dr Pepperberg did.
Has Paco learned anything new lately?
I had a grey as kid. Got it while living in Liberia, and brought it home when I returned. Quite an adventure, actually, getting through customs in JFK. Mine, Hugo, was an accomplished escape artist.
Nice Grey! We had a Cockatiel that lived an amazing 32 years! I am considering either a Grey or a Quaker, but I hear Quakers are illegal in Cali
Thanks Keith! I should have noticed that :-)
moved to pets, as he is a domestic bird.
His favorite phrase lately is "Paco, Paco, Paco!" in my voice, but he likes to say "give me a kiss" and then make the smooching sound, haha. He's a riot!
I hear they are th best talkers; what does Paco say?
