Introducing Jessie
« on: August 12, 2011, 11:31:15 PM »
Hello! Two months ago my family and I welcomed Jessie, an 18 yr old Congo African Grey into our family.
To say she has enriched our loves since-is an understatement!Luckily for us, she came from a very loving family and it was obvious she was their whole world.Jessie is a very smart, and affectionate bird with an extensive vocabulary.She loves hanging out on shoulders and"cuddling". She has already picked up phrases and words from the family and has made herself at home.
I have purchased toys for her, a playstand and made some foraging toys as well .It took her a while to get  familiar with the store  bought toys and playstand. However, Jessie took to the homemade toys like a duck to water! Perhaps  she sensed the love and care put into them?
Anyway, I just wanted to say hello  and introduce her and will definitely keep posting.
Thank you for reading .

Thank you all for your welcomes! More about Jessie:
Favorite foods:Grapes,Bananna chips,pasta and strawberries
Favorite song: Queen-Crazy little thing called love
Favorite movie:Open season 3
Favorite toy: Mom's Hair!!!!
Favorite singer:Pavorotti( Which she LOVES to mimic)
Favorite sayings:"Daddy's girrrrrl, nananananananananaana Batman!, Uh Oh! Spaghetti Oh!,hey..... what are you doing?"
I have no doubt that as each day passes, there will be more sayings and foods.
Each day there is a saying or phrase we have not yet heard-18 years worth prior to Jessie becoming our adopted daughter. Today she told the kitty to get off the furniture.(truly funny as we do not have a cat!!!!) She was so strict in her tone-" Noooo Kitty! Down! Get off the furniture. No!"
