Dallas Chronicles (Part 1)

Wow! What a joy my Persia has become. Persia is my Congo African Grey that I adopted from J-Birds in late December. She is now about 9 months old and mimics everything she hears with the exception human speech. (Maybe it is my Texas accent.........she was accustomed to a Cajun twang before moving into my home!) This changed last Monday. I heard her first word. Whenever I come in from work in the afternoon, I take her out of her cage and place her on the back of my sofa while I read the mail. She runs up and down the couch and makes all types of neat sounds and whistles and usually I stop and take a little time to play. Upon this occasion, I had an important letter to read and was not giving her any attention at all. After a couple of minutes, she hopped onto my shoulder and put her beak up to my ear and screamed HELLO! Needless to say she got my attention, and I have learned that nothing is as important as taking time for the little joys in life. Deborah and Craig really do a wonderful job with their prodigies. Thanks a bunch. jim
