Welcome to the family Shuka!

Chris loves birds. He especially loves the companion birds. After his green cheeked conure died, he said he would like to get a bigger bird next time. So we have been casually looking around and seeing what out there. African Greys and very intelligent and make excellent companions. So the plan was someday, we would be able to get one. They are pretty pricey. Well Chris works with a guy who he sometimes takes home and his dad had this bird and was needing to get rid of him and willing to part with him for only the price of the cage. That was a deal we couldn't let get away. So now we have an African Grey Parrot in our family. He takes quite a bit and its fun to listen and see what he says, and sometimes a bit weird when he says something in your voice. Birds kinda creep me out a bit, but Chris really loves them, so I have never fought him getting one. I am slowly getting used to Shuka. Actually it is happening faster than I thought. The kids absolutely love him and we are just waiting for them to be used to him here and not be so in his face sometimes.

Owen was in absolute heaven having Shuka on his shoulder.
