Our Flock: Our Newest Adoption: Tillie, the Timneh African Grey Parrot

We just recently adopted an eleven year old presumed female (we're still waiting on the DNA test results) Timneh African grey parrot, Tillie, weighing in at a whopping 290 grams! She's barely half the size of our Congo African grey parrot Arua! In spite of having only one previous owner, she's already opening up, flying to me, asking for skritches on her head, and even letting me flip her upside down in my hand!

Another parrots day out at the Sunday Ballard Farmers Market with our Diva parrot Roxanne, and our Hyacinth macaw, Princess Tara:
