Hey Baby! Chewy's SECOND flirtatious video!!!

This was taken a few days before Christmas December 2008. Due to Chewy's initial "hey baby!" video success I thought that perhaps an encore was in order...

PLEASE read below:

I would DEFINITELY recommend doing a LOT of research before looking into a parrot as a pet. Chewy might look cute and cuddly but parrots can potentially be very dangerous. Even more so with children around. Even cute cuddly sweet Chewy has taken a few nips at me from time to time.. and with a beak as big as his that could do a LOT of damage to an unsuspecting finger! Expenses are also something to keep in mind... while it might not seem like a lot at first the expense of a parrot is by far worse over time than up front. A parrot needs play stands as well as as large a cage as you can provide for it. For a bird as large as Chewy the cage can cost upwards of $500-$800 dollars and a playstand usually will run at around $100-$300. Also they require fresh veggies and fruits daily.. as well as a pelleted diet (seeds are NOT good for birds!). Depending on the size of the parrot their toys need to be replaced very regularly. They're extremely intelligent creatures and therefore they need a LOT of mental stimulation. Toys are a great way to provide that for them. Parrots like to chew apart their toys so unfortunately that is a never ending expense. A monthly toy budget can be upwards of $60-$100 a month for a single large parrot. While all of this might sound a bit extreme I assure you it's needed. Parrots who are under stimulated or not cared for properly can become aggressive, territorial, EXTREMELY loud, or even begin to self mutilate. PLEASE consider all of this before stepping into the lifetime commitment of owning a parrot.

There's a great forum that I am a member of that has A LOT of very experienced parrot owners. They're always so helpful and a real joy to talk with. If you have any more questions feel free to go there and ask away!

Does he shut his beak?? it looks like the top end it bent in

Yep he sure does... I'm sure that's just the camera angle here. With the exception of a slight beak chip shortly after I got him Chewy has been in perfect health for the past 4 years now. =)

Wow such a good talker! Hey baby

[Kidshorsinaround]

Good advice to people who are considering a parrot as a companion. They are a HUGE commitment. (not to mention the mess and noise!)
