Just joined the parrot forum & really looking forward to getting to know other members &, of course, always learning more about my FIDS. The light of my life is my little Senegal, "Pappy". He spends most of the day on my shoulder, gives me kisses & says "mama" & "how ya doin'", so far. I want to learn much more about how to train this very smart little guy to do tricks & respond on command. I'm a retired bus driver, 3 grown children, 2 grandchildren & one stubborn Jamaican DH! LOL! Also have a mini-Dachshund named "Bob Barker" & a Chihuahua named "Skippy"
