Franklin at home

Many of you might remember the saga of Franklin the CAG who my brother was having trouble brining home. Franklin has been home a few months now, is DNAd female, and, in the words of my brother, is "a one-pound smartypants".

The reason I'm posting this in the forum is firstly because some of you were worried about FRanklin and might like an update, but also because of her colour. It's not just the photo - Franklin really is light grey like that. I thought CAGs were darker? She seems a silvery grey. Here she is trying to get into my brothe'r soda -click to make it bigger

Lisa, wouldn't it be nice if Franklin was Sam reincarnated? :-) Apparently Franklin is huge for a grey, too. And, not only does Franklin have beautiful silver grey coloring - my mom says she has the most beautiful, sweet parrot face you'll ever see. I can't wait to meet her.
Joanie, I suggested they change the spelling to "Franklynn" but they're keeping the name Franklin!
