Einstein the Amazon parrot looks a bit wild as he contemplates whether to attack or get away from the mini Jack’O’Lantern on his cage. Adopted from a rescue, he’s 20 years old and has lived with us for 10 years. He is one of four parrots we have lived with in the past 21 years, three of them having been adopted after previous owners surrendered them. Like all parrots, he can be a handful, between his noise, his jealousy of my spouse, and his mess (like all our birds he still has the power of flight and gets around the room quite well!) But he’s also incredibly affectionate can intriguing.
