Meet Sunshine
Sunshine was a congo african grey that we had the pleasure of fostering some months back. When we first met him, he talked a little and I was impressed. When we got him home and got his cage set up, it was almost time for bed. Sunshine started chattering and I nearly fell off the couch! He was speaking in near complete sentences, telling me that he wanted to go to bed. It only got more impressive from that point onward.
I have to admit, at first I was a little freaked out by such a smart bird. The second day we had him, I was sitting atthe table near sunshines cage. He came to the front of the cage and asked for a piece of cheese. I glansed over to him and smiled, telling him that I would get him a treat in a moment. Several minutes passed and then sunshine spoke again. "I can see that you are busy now - cheese?" I could hardly believe that the bird was politely reminding me that I promised him a treat...in english! This was just one of many sunshine stories. He asked to watch his favorite TV show every day at 2:00, reminded us to get the mail, begged for his favorite foods, reminded us to 'check the waterbottle,' told us when he was afraid and more. Here are a few photos and videos of sunshine while he was here. He really is a remarkable bird.  (Standing next to a painting he created):  Videos (turn up the sound so you can hear him): Video of Sunshine Talks - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Video of SunshineAM - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Video of Shower Dance Sunshine - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Video of ALBU - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Video of Sunshine swings - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting (For those who are curious, Sunshine has already found a great home.) Enjoy Sunshine! -Anna

Great photos and great videos. What a special bird. I hope her new home appreciates her for the treasure she is. It must have been hard watching her go off to someone else. I don't envy you that part of your work but appreciate the importance of it.

Sunshine is such a riot!!! I am so glad that she found a great home, although if it was me I don't think I could have let her go.
 She is awesome!
