I don't have much time anymore to post, just lucky enough to help keep the place running, I hope no one faults me for that. But I was sitting here thinking watching Sukei tonight, and some of the things he said, and it got me to wondering. For those of you that don't know, long story short, Sukei is a rescue bird taken from the African Jungle, he now resides with me in the US. He said "Daddy home.... where home" Might have been gibberish, but I thought..... Maybe he is still wondering, what the F happened to him, and how far the memory goes back. All I can think of is the PBS shows where they show the thieves sweeping through the jungles and sometimes even stealing these guys right out of there nests. Then they have to survive the trip in a box with 15 or so parrots with no food or water for the week trip to the Middle East. If there lucky enough to survive and find someone to take care of them, do you think they blame them (the person who saves and takes care of them?) I dunno, the thought occurred to me, even though he seems to be more intelligent (Having a deep gene pool) sometimes I think he remembers, and what does he remember. For all intensive purposes, his life span in the jungle, might have been 20 years, maybe. Here he gets the high quality food, and fruit and vegetables and protection from predators. On the other hand in the Middle East, those pricks (Excuse me) throw them in a cage and feed them sunflower seeds for ever, never letting them out. I guess the real question is, with a good quality of life, and free flight, and proper nutrition, what do they think? Or can they even reason that far? I duno, I just got to feeling a little bit guilty for nothing I did but rescue him, and hope he understands. He sems happy 90% of the time, but when he gets pissed, I wonder. Just rambling, any ways, hope you guys and your domestic Greys are doing ok. Kevin
