Brush Every Day, Keeps the Dentist Away

This is Owen, my daughters 20 week old African Grey. Doesn't know she's a bird, barks like a dog. We think she is going to be a real talker....Denny

Beautiful capture Denny, I raised parots for yrs, African Greys are VERY GOOD talkers! #6475952Denny E. Barnes September 19, 2008
Thank you very much Melissa, Dominick, Usman and Peaches! This is a fun and funny bird. Named before it was out of the shell, my daughter didn't know if she had a male of female until her vet did a blood test and she is a she..LOL..She was allowed to stay with her mom for 5 weeks, then removed and hand raised for the next 12 to 14 weeks to get a good human bond. The breeders had a small dog that did a lot of barking, this was the first thing Owen picked up. She now goes around barking at everyone...LOL....Denny #6476269Ann Coates September 19, 2008

Thank you very much Ann, John, Susie, Joyce, Bill and Lynn! I'm glad this is my daughter's bird and not mine. As much as I love animals, the attention this one requires might be more than I want to take on at this time in life..LOL..My daughter loves it and doesn't mind that Owen has already taken over her house and is the queen of the manor..LOL....Denny #6478029David Van Camp September 19, 2008
