    New Roommate (with wings)

    Some friends of a friend of my MIL needed to find a new home for their Double Yellow-Headed amazon parrot. Due to medical problems, they were no longer able to care for her. So I have a new friend.

    Say hi to Babe, the DYH amzon...



    She already sings several songs. I wonder what good Scottish music I can teach her?

    A Priest, a Rabbi, and a parrot walk into a bar....

    Lovely bird! I have friends back in Alberta who care for a couple of parrots as well. One of them is the most entertaining little creature I've ever seen. It has a taste for the spotlight and will show off at the drop of a hat.
    Hopefully Babe will be similar in nature.

    Awww! What a sweetie-pie! I used to have a parrot several years ago, a lilac-crowned amazon (I moved and couldn't bring him with me, so I gave him to a good home full of other happy parrots). I sure miss that lil guy.

    Babe is beautiful!

    She already whistles at red-headed lasses (like my wife).

    Here's a short vid of Babe singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".
