Bird power is def where it's at when you realize just how much these wild creatures project; i.e., vitality, color and flair. Paco The Great celebrates eight big ones today and he--they tell me--is one third through his happy life. No hunting for this miniature parrot, just a life of leisure, albiet protected from two felines, in an over-kill cage. Rock on Paco. Any tips from mini parrot pet parents on longevity will be appreciated.
