The hurricane called Pepper

[Courtney8526]

I bet he is very entertaining. I have a parrotlet & lovebird myself and I my parrotlet thinks he would be bigger than your grey, he has little man syndrome. That's great you rescued him and gave him a good home! I also adopted mine. But they were well cared for by an elderly lady who couldn't care for them anymore. I would love an african grey one day. It is funny how much of a pig they can be though!

Feel free to post a picture of your birds. I love birdie pics.

Here are Mario (parrotlet) & Marlin (lovebird). They also try to attack the dogs but the dogs don't pay them any attention. And if I let Marlin, he would sleep with me. He is rotten!

He is very messy! Then I noticed that the counter looked like it was in your garage and not the kitchen!

Gorgeous little guys.

No the counter is in the kitchen, I just clean it many many times a day. I go through antibacterial wipes like you have never seen. The cats however do love to scrounge for scraps when Pepper eats.

Oh gosh! Sorry...From the angle of my laptop screen, it looked black behind the counter like it was in an unfinished area.

Pepper sounds like a riot! I would be thinking....darn it....I just cleaned that counter! My kids do that to me all the time...lol.

African Grey's are amazing birds! My neighbor has one that learned how to bark, and it barks at my dogs when I walk 'em. It's the funniest thing. The dogs have no idea what's going on.......the bird does it just to get a rise out of 'em.

Sort of an awful story: my mom was cleaning out our parakeet cage with a shop vac.

Well I'll just end the story there, with the moral being don't ever use a shop vac to clean the bottom of a parakeet cage!

Pepper reminds me of my aunt's parrot Cotorro ( which is you know spanish for parrot) clever name, I know : D He was just as much fun as Pepper and just as cute!

I bet it broke her heart.

I was very little, it was around 20 years ago, she is a bigger animal lover (though she hunts deer and elk, lol) than I am so I'm sure she was very upset.

Great to hear about everyone's experiences with birds. Pitt420dude, I am so sorry for your mom. I can imagine her horror and sadness. Even though it was a long time ago.
