Trouble
Hello, my name is Trouble. I am a male Timneh African Grey from…you guessed it, Africa! Please don’t confuse me with my cousin the Congo African Grey who is not only larger, but also has bright red tail feathers where as my tail feathers are maroon and much more subdued! I was born in August 2000 and my main job here is greeting and entertaining everyone who walks through the clinic door. I am very curious about the world around me, and I like to watch everyone and everything with an inquisitive eye.
I also like to touch and feel things with my beak…including fingers, so please don’t tempt me to take a nibble. Although my speech may not be as good as my cousin the Congo, I can mimic lots of noises and whistles with no problem at all. If you listen closely though you may just hear me say the odd “hello” and “how are you.” So if you do just happen to hear me speak, please respond because that’s how I learn…don’t worry the girls behind the desk won’t think you’re too crazy for talking to a bird!
