Well a few days ago I mentioned that Mr. Peepers the African grey parrot decided to take a piece of my ear while I was talking on the phone to a client. As we all know pirates have only one good eye, but I don't ever remember seeing one with a patch on his ear. Well I think I finally figured it ...

We have an African Grey parrot at home that is a joy to have. Every morning he tells me he loves me. When I leave he says goodbye and he seems to know when the seasons are changing. Out of the blue this week he started saying "Merry Christmas ho ho ho" so I guess he knows the holiday is close. W...
