Bobby
I am a Rosella Parakeet

Well, here I am with Bo and Kellogg in my new home.  I came home on November 12, 2000. I am still a baby and Mom and Dad found out that I am a boy.  Now there are three boy birds, one boy dog and dad.  We outnumber the girls five to three.  We are, however, not  in control.

Dad always takes us with him in morning when he does his computer work.  I believe each of us guys has had to spend time on dad's shoulder when we first got here.

See the ear?  I have the smallest beak of the group, but that ear is sure fun to bite.  I can get dad's attention real fast.  Dad wears glasses and I love to grab on to the frames and hang on.  It is a riot to see dad trying to get me off his glasses while I hang on with my beak.  I also like to play with his beard and dad doesn't seem to mind that.

I do a lot of whistling and I bob my head when I am looking at something.  I think that is why I got my name Bobby.  I have already learned to do the wolf whistle from my brother Kellogg.  I really surprised mom and dad when I did my whistle the first time.

I was weaned and then put on bird seeds.  Mom wanted me to start eating my greens and so the seeds went away and I got greens.  Like most kids, greens are not fun to eat, but that is all I had and now I love them.  I even have my seeds back and still prefer my greens.

These babies are me and my brothers and sisters.  We were born on September 30, 2000. 

These are my  bird parents.  Some day after my first molt, I I will look just like my bird parents.

Here I am on Dad's Shoulder.   He is up early and has not combed his hair yet, so I look better than he does.  Our white matches nicely.

My baby brother and sister Rosellas.  We look like little porcupines when we are small.  It is hard to imagine that we will be very pretty when we get full gown.

By the way, Jake and Jazz have two new babies.
