Kilgore Grey

This is Kilgore. He is a mature African Grey (28) that is the only parrot in his home. He leads a very happy life with his mom and dad. They had their trip out of town unexpectedly extended due to circumstances beyond their control. They are concerned that they are leaving Kilgore "too long."
Kilgore, however, is doing so well while he is here that they can rest assured that he is not suffering! Sure, they are missed, as he is. But he is enjoying the company of my grey, Buster, and together they are making a chorus of beeps, whistles, snores, and other endearing sound effects. They take delight in competing on this level. Kilgore is getting his hugs, skritches, and showers. Around here there is lots of action and interaction. He is even beginning to explore different foods!

I like to watch "only birds" as they observe my many parrots. They must have peculiar thoughts on the subject. Wow, another parrot. Or, maybe they have no idea that they, themselves, are parrots! Kilgore will quickly acclimate to being back home, but he will always remember his time spent here. We all have childhood vacations that we recall. This is his vacation and I will miss him when he goes home. As these "characters" come and go, I feel honored to have known each and every one of them.
