My African Congo Grey kissing the camera! His name is Plato and he turned 30 years old this year. I adopted him 5 years ago when his owner passed away. I was told he had never been out of his cage and he was not tame. With me he has never been caged except at night or when I'm away. I can now pet him and hand feed him.(after many bites)
He was only fed sunflower seeds and parakeet seeds for 25 years and now he eats pellets, fruits and veggies! Plato eats everything put in front of him with gusto!!
