Peter has been adopted! Her foster mother just could not return her to the Rescue as the two of them have become so close and Peter is a happy bird at home. We shall post an update soon.
Peter is actually a girl, as she had some trouble laying her egg when we got her and she had to have an operation to fix it. Since then she is one of the happiest and friendliest additions to the Refuge.
She has quite an extensive vocabulary as well as a variety of songs, sung and whistled. She will do a spin dance when we sing. She will also tell you to “shut up”, if you sing off key (quite common). Peter loves companionship, and will call out ”what’s going on?” if she can’t see you, or give an increasingly insistent “hello-o”. She gives gentle kisses and says “I love you”. She also hunkers down and screams “Murder – Murder” in a deep sinister voice followed by “Oh Yeah!”
