Cristiana Senni from World Parrots Trust just let me know that their organization has uploaded several movies to YouTube of African Grey parrots in the wild. I live with a Grey, and was absolutely amazed at their vocalizations and behaviors--pretty much exactly like Pepper. Reminds me that while Pepper is tame, he is still just one generation from his wild brethren. Check out their beautiful videos!

I had lunch with Anton yesterday.
Amazing. So fabulous to see large flocks climbing and flying and vocalizing. And yes, it does remind me of my mixed 'flock' of Congo + Timnehs - when one starts up the noisemaking, the others tend to join in. :-)
This reminds me I need to put the new blog into my RSS reader. I miss the parrot posts.
