Previous Pets Pet Talk About Us Peekaboo, the Pet of the Day
Name: Peekaboo Age: 18 months old Gender: Male Breed: Congo
African Grey Home: Broomfield, Colorado, USA    This is our
18-month old Congo African Grey, Peekaboo. We have had him a
year this month. He pretty much has run of the house, and he
loves his dad, John. He is just learning to talk, and can say Hi
Peekaboo, Hello, Up, Tickle, Stop and is learning more by the
day. He is excellent with sound effects, and can cluck like the
Cadbury Bunny.      Peekaboo is an only bird, until my husband
and I can get a kitten or two. He is pretty much as large as he
is going to get. We need to go to the vet and have him weighed.
His wings are clipped, as there are so many dangers for an
unclipped bird inside a house, as in landing in an open toilet
or sink of water, landing on a hot stove or into a boiling pot,
hitting a wall, window, or mirror, or getting outside and us not
being able to catch him.
