That’s Pepper on the right. She’s a perfectly charming African Grey. She’s eighteen years old and she came to live with Parker and me about 3 years ago. She was found by my friend Shari housed in an 18×18 inch galvanized wire cage; probably her original cage from when she was purchased as a young [...]

Free Flight trainer Chris Biro Shaking his tail feathers for donations…I’m helping. No, the Houston Parrot Festival isn’t all serious lectures and training sessions. Actually, we have a blast.
