I RULE THE ROOST!!!!!

About Me

Hello. My name is Romeo. I'm a 3 year old Meyer's Parrot. You can't see it in my pics, but I have beautiful turquoise feathers under my wings on my back. I'm not sure why my best feature has to be hidden, but it's the way it is. I do have pretty yellow spots on my head and wings, and a nice irridescent green belly. My Mom loves to hear me singing and talking in the house, especially during the long Michigan winters.OK, enough with the sappy stuff. Let's talk about the real me: I'm a 6 oz., bad ass little tyrant bird. I have bitten well over half of the people who have come into my house, and drawn blood from most. My favorite bite to date is my Mom's friend, who's a police officer. I drew blood from an armed, uniformed cop! I strategically bit a nice hole in her radio cord first, so she couldn't call for a back-up, then I got her finger. I'm drawn to the shiny badge and handcuffs like a moth to a porchlight. She actually hides around the corner when she stops by now. She know who rules the roost! I usually lure my victims in with a head bobbing routine, and as soon as they get close enough to admire my beauty, CHOMP! They don't know what hit them, and they certainly don't think I'm that cute anymore. My life goal is to bite every person who comes through the door.I'm nice to my Mom, but that's only because she feeds me good stuff, compliments and talks to me, and cuddles me when I'm feeling needy.My Mom is an animal lover. She has a business called Forever Photos. She laser engraves photos on marble and granite for plaques and memorial stones, and has cremation urns for every size and pet breed under the sun.

My Interests

Biting and household domination. There are 3 dogs (2 Miniature Schnauzers,1 mixed breed) and a cat in my house, and they are all afraid of me. I once had one of the dumb sissy dogs cornered and cowering. And they are supposed to be watchdogs. What a HOOT!

I'd like to meet:

Big bird, Toucan Sam, the band Weather Report. Thay do that Birdland song. Anyone who would like a bite mark on a finger, ear, etc., is also a person I would like to meet. I've been hoping my Mom might bring me home a lady bird to cuddle up with, but I'm still waiting! I will make her my Juliet when she arrives.

Music:

Laughing Madmen. They practice at my house. I usually sit on my perch and whistle and scream the whole time they play. I can't get enough of them. They ruffle my feathers!

Movies:

The Birdcage.

Television:

I like documentaries about the African savannah and the rainforest. They make me feel like I'm home in my natural habitat. I also like anything with loud music in it.

Favorite foods

My Mom is getting ready to make some eggs, which I love. She only gives them to me in small amounts, and not too often. I think the underlying cannibalism link probably freaks her out! ...
