  • This is a video of our African Grey parrot calling and whistling for the dog. When he first started doing this Max would go running to see who was calling. Now Max has figured out it's just Larry calling.

    Larry was also a rescue parrot. We were lucky to find one so tame and well cared for.

      Animals are very interesting creatures and far more present then we are moment to moment. There were some deer outside my window, a big picture window,.... I would feature nature videos for them to watch on my computer screen and they loved it in Early evening when they would gather there to chew the cud. It was a rather secure and protected Meadow Grove area. I learned a lot by observing them. Anyway, animals are very keen to even the smallest details around them even when they seemingly are not.

I would be home by myself and hear a man's voice and almost jump out of my skin! They are awesome animals though! So smart!

    It's a home made stand. It's an 8 foot pine 4x4 cut in half. I mounted it to a base made out of pine 1x4's and a piece of old shelving material. Each perch was cut from long manzanita cage perches. They're mounted to the 4x4 using double sided coarse screws (one side screws into perch the other into the 4x4). This is the third version I've put together through trial and error. We just watched him to see where he liked to perch and how he liked to move from perch to perch and I adjusted.

    When I was growing up, the neighbors across the street had a parrot named Chico who would do this to their family dog, who would always fall for it. Then Chico would laugh his parrot head off when the dog ran in and nobody was in the room - Chico knew EXACTLY what he was doing.
    Chico would also quietly swear under his breath in Spanish when he was frustrated or grumpy. He had led an interesting life before the neighbors ended up with him, for sure...
