I just wanted to show off my DH's dream come to life! He has long wanted an African Grey Parrot. The cost was just way too much for us to buy one. So, my DH began by getting online and haunting some parrot forums. He was in one, and saw someone who was looking for a loving home for a parrot. Just the parrot that he had long wanted.
After going through a vetting, DH was finally approved for the adoption. He drove 4-1/2 hours each way yesterday. He came home late last night with "Pinocchio". He is so proud of the little fellow. Here he is!
Here he is: Pinocchio!
He is an African Grey Parrot. He has grey feathers. He does have a white eye mask. He is about 7-1/2 inches tall (not counting tail feathers). He chirps so far, when he is excited or happy. He seems to prefer my voice over DH's, but I'll be leaving DH to do his magic on Pinocchio! LOL
He has a lovely tall cage, as you can see part of it here. He has some toys, but we will be getting him more, especially for foraging, and puzzle solving, which these birds love.
DH is financing the care and feeding of Pinocchio by eliminating his cigarette cost! (Who wouldn't be happy about that?)
Here's wishing your dreams come true!
Our pretty boy. And DH's dream come true!
