    Hey Gavin how is your cute little parrot going?

  • I Thank you for asking but I am sad to say he is no longer with me.

    I had bought him a swing just after I got him and it had beads slung underneath the perch. Whoever had made the swing had used copper wire to attach the beads with. Alexandrines have very powerful beaks and he had chewed his way through to the copper wire and it poisoned him. If I had only known.

    All I have now are the photos I took to remember him.

    On the bright side though at least I can share him with kind people like you.

    Cheers
    Gavin
