Hello, my name is Wendy, and I am from Nevada, I came here seeking information about Parrots. As I now have one (yes a passed along parrot), have heard the horror stories of constant hand me down parrots and decided it wasn't going to happen to this one. Peatie, despite his flaws is a truly admirable creature and deserves a good home. (Some of his flaws are why I can't help but love him, his temper tantrums and crying remind me of a child)
