yes, hello everyone. Check me out!

I know how to get around. I’ve got wings, you say? That’s not the secret! Look how cute and fluffy I am.

I know how to pick them-that’s what I mean. I escaped from the clutches of some random human, and honed in on a new one once I escaped-the head animal keeper, no less.

But he didn’t have time for me, so he gave me to his dad. He also found me a bit scary-I tried to show him how much I love him…held him dear. He thought that was biting him! Yeah, this beak is pretty strong, huh-huh.

So a bird lover on the team (my current pet) took me home. I welcome her and all visitors with excitement. Screech!

They can’t believe their ears, and hold their hands over their ears, to keep the sound in there for ages. It’s pretty cool.

So, every now and then, I give them a new treat. Screech! They get such a happy surprise!

Here I am. Shyly looking back at you. See how pretty I am!

    yep-it’s got personality! I didn’t mind letting it use the computer for awhile-one beak typing is a bit slow, but it does it’s own spell check, so I can’t complain.

    Perhaps he could chat with my cat once in a while – he’s been known to sign into msn. He’s also done some printing – to leave me a little surprise on the printer when I get home.
