Just thought I'd share some photos of my little clown.
This is Diego my 3 year old Congo African Grey Parrot. I am his first and only owner, I got him when he was 8 months old at my local bird specialty store. I fell in love with him and he was quite nippy and scared of people but when I came in to visit him, he let me hold him and he would step up on his own. Seemed like we were meant to be. At the time I sure didnt have $1500 to spend on a parrot and cage so since the owner of the store knew me good enough she let me take him home with a cage, toys and food for a small down payment of only $250 and let me pay him off monthly. I was so happy to finally own a grey, since I was a kid and had my first bird in the second grade Ive always wanted an african grey.
Diego is a handfull, he knows how to push my buttons but also how to make me laugh. He says different words all the time, his repertoire changes daily. He may want to sound like a garbage truck one minute or talk like the song birds outside, or call the dogs, then next thing you know he yells out a :cens0r: word...oops.
Having a parrot is a lifelong commitment that im very pleased I made. I will have Diego for all of his life and hope that my kids will like himbecause he should outlive me.
I have a few pictures to share...
The first picture I took of Diego when I brought him home, hes got those grey baby eyes still...
Me and Diego out on a car ride, he loves it.
I like to play youtube videos for him because he competes with the parrots and it seems to entertain him.
Toys are FUN!
