My basic info
Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, Skippy here, and I would like to update you on my progress in my foster home. My foster parronts say I am very entertaining. I have telephone conversations all the time and like to join in on yours too. I love being out of my cage but I don't mind being in the cage either. I love my toys and it doesn't take this beak long to tear up a piece of wood! I am sharing my foster home with 3 other parrots and 3 small dogs and I don't mind one bit (of course we are not let out with the dogs - you have to be very careful of parrots around other parrots and other species of animals - no physical contact!). I am even teaching my Quaker roommate some words to add to his vocabulary. I am adding things to my repertoire either with new words and sounds or old ones that are finally coming out as I get used to my surroundings. One of my favorite things to say is "hello, wanna come over?" And I mimic conversations but you can only hear mumbling. I am not really loud most of the time, but I do like to call for a couple people from my past and I always greet you with a cheery "Hello" when you come in the door. I also try to sing Amazing Grace which my foster family gets a kick out of. My feathers were not in good shape when I came into Florida Parrot Rescue, but my new diet is helping to make them much prettier. I think I am gorgeous anyway! I still am unsure whether I am a boy or girl because I lived as a boy for all of my life, but the Vet thinks I am a girl. I heard my foster mom say that she thinks I am okay with men and women, but my foster Dad is the only one who can reach in my cage when he needs to. So far I am not a cuddly bird, but we will see as I get to know my forever family. Won't you give this stunning "middle-aged" feathered beauty a chance. I'm waiting for your call. Regards, Skippy.
