Sounds like he has been a good pet friend to you. Not a bad kind of alarm system (no batteries to worry about). You could write a book about his adventures...sounds like you two have had more than your share. Did you ever find your parrot model (or were you the one looking for one)? I saw Lynne has one up at http://www.vistainternetproducts.com/amazon.htm ... but I don't know if it's the right kind of parrot. They come in such unbelievable variety of types and colors.
