Visitors Welcome

Hermann Visits Joshua

Joshua has a frequent visitor.  He looks forward to seeing his friend Hermann who comes over almost daily from Rossmoor.  Joshua and Hermann have a connection.  Mainly because Hermann has a calm demeanor and sits next to Josh's cage with the door open and encourages socialization.  He has made huge steps in Josh's tolerating the touch of a hand. 


Joshua Gets Stroked

 What Hermann doesn't realize is that all of the neighboring parrots get a lot out of the visits too!  Minna, Lincoln, Buster, and Buzz (all greys) watch intently to participate in the interactions.  Chauncey and Luve, being cockatoos, watch as well but they have other things to do...like eat.  Greys are so cerebral.  They are the thinkers in the flock.  Cockatoos are the doers.  Barnaby, the large nape amazon, watches and comments with his low grunts and whistles.  When Hermann leaves, you should hear the chorus of "bye byes!"  Everyone enjoys Hermann!
