    Petie, our Parrotlett hates the camera, but we finally got a couple of shots.
    Petie is a very small parrot, 5" from head to the tip of his tail...about the size of salt shaker :-D
    He will be 5 years old this month and has completely trained us to his liking. It is true what they say "the smaller the bird, the bigger the attitude" Gotta love him though. He is a prolific talker, so much so, we have to be careful of what we watch on TV because we sure don't want him learning "those words" :shock: :shock: :shock:
    Previous to having Petie, we had Jimmie our cockatiel. We had him for 21 years and miss him terribly. What a sweetie, he was.
