Description

This fine fellow goes by the name of JD or Peck! He is a kind of rescue bird in that when Cheryl passed away last August, Shane (who passed away March 20th) asked my parents to take over the care of JD as there was too much going on in the household. So my parents did adopt JD. He has several habits, one of which is fun to watch: He does not like a messy table and will go to great lengths to clear it off. Although sometimes, as shown by this picture here, he does get over-ambitious. He also likes to drop crackers, bread and his millet from his cage. And he will whistle to get you to watch him do this, so you can pick it up and put it back on the cage just so he can drop it on the floor. JD also whistles for a dog we don't have and can whistle the Andy Griffith tune (Mayberry theme) Thank you for the wonderful comments and faves I hope that everyone has a great Thursday! Mike On another note, my total height is 5'9" When I note yesterday that my eye height was 5'4" that is the height where my eyes are at (I used a surveyor's sighting system to check)

These little fellas (cockatiel I believe) are so clever and soon become members of the family to the point that they think they are the boss. Thanks for sharing this wonderful photo of JD.

Clever bird, deciding to read the public notices rather than the financial bad news on the front page. He will fly far!
