Here is my absolutely stupendous African grey, Papagayo Vivo. We call him Papa in honor of my grandfather.

Mom and Papa (June 2002)

In April of 2002, we adopted an African grey from a family who no longer had enough time for him. We are so thrilled that he found his way into our home. He was about 4 years old, according to them. We changed his name pretty early on. He took to me quickly - this photo shows us gaining trust in one another.

Papa (October 2002)

This is one confident bird. He is smart, agile, and filled with energy. I can barely keep up with him. Oh! You do need to watch what you say around him. He learns new phrases and sounds without too much effort.

Momma'a boy

This bird had two homes prior to coming into my life. He is an incredible companion. I would like to tell more of his story on this site eventually.
 
He is one of my forever friends!
