Gort was a rescue. I received him through a rescue here in Alaska. And before coming to his fosters, Gort was hand-raised by an older man who had him for 17 years. After the man's passing, Gort went to the man's daughter who didnt like him and kept him covered in a garage for the next 7 years of his life. When she finally turned him over to the rescue, over 4 inches of feces was incrusted on his cage, he was completely bald except for his tail feathers, feathers on his legs and head. He was also very antisocial, didnt want to be handled at all and I was told he bit and would draw blood. I was told he was very loud and continued to pluck whatever feathers he had left.
Upon adopting him, he isnt loud and only "squaks" when he wants food... Human food. He's a little butterball
He has never bitten me, he is a very cuddly, affectionate little guy and loves to walk around the house like a dog. He doesnt care to fly but will every once in awhile. If I ignore him, he will sit on the bottom of his cage and cry but gets very excited and starts "talking" immediately when I say hello.He also doesnt talk. He has his own way of talking and communicating.
Gort saying "Hello".
Gort's favorite spot!
The screen was too bright :S

I'm so happy that Gort has a happy forever home and lots of love for the rest of his life
