Pickles the Parrot: a Humorous Look At Life With An African Grey
“Our new African Grey Congo Parrot, Pickles, has just settled in his new cage in our living room. He went in willingly enough and I quickly closed the cage door and fell in a heap on the couch. I lay there staring at him, and he at me.
Silence, while we each pondered our new living situations.
A couple of days ago, I had contacted some parrot breeders (Thomas & Sylvia) who had a lone African Grey, one in a clutch and three months old. Knowing Pickles, having lived with and being possessed by him... for eight years, I now suspect he killed and ate his siblings. All attention, at all times, must be solely directed toward him. Having siblings would only cramp his style.
My husband Neil and I live in the interior of British Columbia, Canada. Thomas and Sylvia live on Vancouver Island. No quick trip. 4 hours drive to the ferry, a couple of hours early to ensure passage and a two-hour ferry ride. My mother, Zoe, lives on the coast so I over-nighted with her and she accompanied me on the ocean voyage.MoreLess
