Diego my African Grey Parrot *Pic Heavy*

[mues155]

He is amazing! Such a beauty.

We're debating on getting a bird in the future. The only problem is, I want an African Gray. He wants an umbrella cockatoo. Guess we'll have to flip a coin when the time comes.

Such amazing creatures.

Oh man I wouldnt ever be able to be an umbrella owner. I cant handle the SCREAMING! My friend has 3 of them! One Moluccan and 2 Umbrellas and you cant even have a normal conversation at her house without one of them wanting attention and letting out the dreaded too scream. Thats why they are the #1 most rehomed bird in america. People think their "cute" or cuddly then take them home and cant handle the screaming. They are like having a toddler that can fracture your finger in one bite if they wanted and their scream can be heard a mile away.
My grey can be loud enough as it is. Toos are more cuddle bugs and greys are the brains and talkers. My Diego can be an aweful big cuddler when he wants to though. Any parrot is a huge responsibilty and not something people can easily rehome.

Thanks for the compliments guys!
I'll have to get a good video of him talking and upload it.
