Christmas

"CHRISTMAS" CAME IN LAST WEEK AS AN EXTREMELY NOISY BIRD, HAVING BEEN IN HIS LAST HOME FOR 17 YEARS. ANOTHER MEMBER HAD TAKEN HIM IN, BUT HER BIRD DIDN'T LIKE THE IDEA OF AN INTRUDER IN HIS "SPACE," SO CHRISTMAS CAME INTO THE PARROT HAVEN. HE'S ONLY BEEN HERE A WEEK, AND THE SCREECHING HAS ALMOST STOPPED. I GUESS HE'S IN AWE SEEING ALL THE OTHER BIRDS IN THE HOUSE. HE LOVES PEANUT BUTTER ON APPLES, CUCUMBERS AND COOKIES. HE RUNS AROUND THE HOUSE, YELLING, "GIVE ME COOKIE." HE HAS A LARGE VOCABULARY. SUCH A GREAT PERSONALITY. THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE INTERESTED IN "CHRISTMAS" SO IT'S JUST A MATTER OF HIM INTERVIEWING HIS POTENTIAL PARENTS.

CHRISTMAS WAS ADOPTED BY SISTER BARBARA. I KNOW HE'LL HAVE A GREAT LIFE AS ONE OF THE BIRDS THAT SHE USES IN "PET THERAPY".
