I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a weirdo who has 10 parrots in my house. For now that is.... Molly the Meyer's; Aukie the Lesser Jardine's; Sylvain and Nigel, Congo African Greys; Donald and Pilot, Aru and Vos Eclectus; Lenny the Lesser Patagonian Conure; Chicken the Aztec Conure; and Mitch the Goldie's Lorikeet.plus Petey the White Bellied Caique. I'm fostering him, looking for someone who would like to adopt a slightly plucked but very sweet Caique. He may be here a while...'The Laughing Heart' by Charles Bukowski Read by Tom Waits

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Another atypical, height/age/weight/mental capacity appropriate or somewhat lacking. Must be bird tolerant. Being a smart ass always helps.
