Kakeo Makes Friends

Kakeo is a big bold beautiful blue front amazon.  He is spending his vacation here and is having a lot of fun.  Each day he is allowed to play in the huge Exotic Enclosure where he migrates from toy to toy and perch to perch utilizing every inch of the 4' x 6' cage.  (At night, he prefers to be in his smaller cage next to his plush blue star.)  Kakeo has a rather outgoing personality that could be interpreted as aggressive.  He postures with his fanned tail and pinned eyes as he flattens in the normally dangerous horizontal position.  He is handled with great respect.  This doesn't mean he doesn't get love and attention.  He loves being flirted with and sung to.  In this photo, Charlotte, my helper, is getting Kakeo to whisper sweet nothings to her.  He is quite the charmer.
