Rocky Girl


Today is a wonderful sunny day with temps around 55. The birds are all pretty quiet today which is unusual for them. I have Rocky down stairs with me at the moment on my shoulder. She loves to just sit with me and loves to have her head scratched and rubbed. She is one of my best talkers. She just loves to sing and talk and argue with me each day. I would have to say she is the one who is closest to me of all the Amazons.
Once the weather gets a bit warmer and I have saved a little money I plan to build an outside aviary for my birds to enjoy. We have the perfect spot on the deck. I hope to be able to hang nets and swings and have lots of play areas with some nice toys for them as well.
My dream is to have a Parrot Wonderland someday. A room for them with central air and heat, natural sunlight shining through skylights, waterfalls, natural non-toxic trees and plants and lots of room for them to fly and play.
The Photo above is my Rocky Girl playing in her cat house..What a silly girl she is..
Rocky is 14 years old. Her hatch date which I had to make up because I never got her original one is March 12th.
I got Rocky from a lady in Pa. who was a hoarder of birds. I got 3 birds out of that house. I am so blessed to have gotten her. She is such a sweet, funny and gentle Amazon. I know my life is so much richer for having the chance to share it with her.
I could not ask for a better best friend in any animal or human. I have a few video's at the youtube site under dedicatedtoamazons for you to look at. Rocky has at least 3 of them there.
They are really funny and I can almost guarantee you'll fall in love just as I have.
I love you Rock!!
