There was discussion a while ago about starting a thread about parrots because there seems to be a few of us who keep them. Yesterday we got a new parrot called Pebble so now seemed like the ideal opportunity. And basically I can't stop talking about her and want to show her off.
This is Pebble. She's called pebble because her eyes are pebble colour and because she spends hours staring at the sky, perfectly still like a pebble, and she also sits under your chin for ages too. She's nothing like my other parrot, Fawkes. Fawkes is hard and a pirate. Pebble is a ninja parrot (if there is such a thing). We've only known her for about 24 hours but there are loads of differences between the two of them; she's nice to the dog whereas Fawkes just tries to bite him, she doesn't squalk much and when she does it's not ear-splitting, she just sounds like squeaky bike brakes. Fawkes is silly and mucks about, she's much more zen. She also doesn't bite strangers, which is a bonus.
She's only 14 weeks which is tiny baby age in parrot terms. You can tell from her grey baby fluff under her green feathers, and the fact that she doesn't know what food she can eat yet.
I think she's beautiful. And her bright green bloomers make me laugh.
So yes, birds, birds, birds. Tell me about yours. |
