Flutter was hatched May 1990. She is an amazon parrot mix (bluefront and double yellowhead). She is intelligent, funny and a great companion and her favorite pasttimes are teasing the dog and watching the wildlife out the patio door. (did you notice: everyone likes to tease Vibro!) She seems to be handling the dog and cat shenanigans without jealousy or rancor. To her, we are all members of her flock. Luckily, I was able to bring her home while she was still a chick of 6 weeks old. I handfed her until she was weaned and was able to establish myself as Head of the Flock. At 9 years old, she is just barely a young adult and very active and a real playhound. It's been hard this year to give her the attention she deserves with the new kitten last summer, Maggie's long illness and death and then Vibro's seemingly endless surgeries and recoveries. But I try and we NEVER skip 'birdie playtime' every morning on the kitchen window sill while I prepare her breakfast
