Holly, the Emerald Princess

Holly is an African
Jardine's parrot. She’s the big cousin to the better-know Senegals, Meyers, and Brown-Headed parrots.

 

Holly is an expressive bird, and she wears her heart on her sleeve.  She is shy around newcomers, but is never reserved around her “parronts”.  She can be a peaceful, quiet bird; always ready with a kiss or a cuddle and absolutely loves magazine time.  She knows how to party, too.  She will swing carelessly by one toe from a toy in her cage, shrieking, flapping, or beating up on a toy...or roll onto her back on the bottom of her cage, because she is so excited about her toy that she wants to hold it with both feet.

I was young here. See how small my orange spot is?

I love nuts.  They taste good, and the shells make great toys.

Just another day at the office.

I love going to the office with Mom.  Now that she works at home, I get to go to work with her every day.  I have so much fun.  I sleep, eat, preen, and play. Sometimes I flap my wings and shriek, just to watch her expression.

The doctor told my people that I have weak feet.  My doctor never saw me chase down a peanut!

The nut bowl is RIGHT there...

Dad does all the cooking and he gives me treats whenever he has leftovers.  Lemons are one of my favorites.
