The New Arrival

Say hello to our newest arrival, a 4 1/4-month-old Senegal Parrot, who has yet to be named. I’m thinking Fannie, ’cause she makes this sound like a car with a loose fan belt. But, it’s not really my decision — this is Donna’s bird, though we’re going to try to help her to learn to like both of us.

For those wondering, upside down is a “normal” position for Senegals, and many other types of parrots, too. Donna will, at some point, probably write about how this cute new critter came be ours (aside from the business of handing the credit card to the nice lady at the bird store).
