Sweet Dreams Are Made of Parrots

Our African Grey Congo, Weeter, is such a good little dance partner on days like today when I'm cleaning the house, preparing for a dinner party and blasting the dance mix as I go. I would've really missed this if things had gone differently a few weeks ago...

Unbelievable to tell from the dancing singing parrot below, but we almost lost Weeter recently. He was so sick, unmoving and actually lying in the bottom of his cage with his feet tucked under him. The vets said he would die, but he'd just learned to whistle the Olymipcs theme song so we knew he had some champion in him. Mucho dinero and many doctors later, he pulled through and has returned to his nutty self. Witness:
