Max the parrot

Our Pet of the Month for March 2020 is Max the parrot (more precisely a Green-Cheeked Conure, a breed that originates from South America).

Max is himself a home sitter, as he belongs to the son of the household, who is currently thoughtfully living in London in a flat which does not allow pets.

Max does not talk, but he is able to communicate his needs and wants very effectively with a wide repertoire of squawks, shrieks and whistles, all of which combine high volume with a piercing frequency. He has strong opinions on being left on his own when he can hear people speaking in another room.

One of his expectations is to be allowed out of his cage in the evening for some flying practice and in particular to observe the washing up, which he usually does from the top of a head (preferably a male one), offering his support and comments at top volume. Attempts to put him back in his cage before he considers himself to be ready are usually unsuccessful.

Max is a small bird with a big personality, and great fun once you get to know him.
