I actually made a post about my pet yesterday in LJ, so I'll copy the entry...

Harley is a very cute, but insane. For those who don't know, Harley is my parrot. He's an Harlequin Macaw, meaning that he's a hybrid of a Blue and Gold Macaw and a Scarlet Macaw. Scarlet Macaws = those big red birds with the rainbow wings. Blue and Gold Macaws = Those big birds with the yellow stomachs and blue wings, back and head. Harley is a beautiful bird, imo.



That's him. He turned 2 last march. That's a sorta old picture, but he looks the same there. We bought him from this super rich lady that had T-bird cars when he was two months old. He was so cute. He was tiny and have no feathers except for this tiny little tail and the feathers on his head, so he looked like he had an enormous head. When he was about 4 months old, he learned his first word: "Hello."

He's a bit of a mean bird now, he bites a lot, but he can be so sweet something. He's addicted to cookies. His vocabulary consists of "Hello, Jessica (though it's not well said), Michael, Bubba (my old cat), Cookie, Bad, No bite, Boo-boo, Ow (all because he hurts me when he bites and I say those things), Harley, Ah-ah, Mmmmmm, Ah-ha-ha (he has the funniest laugh), Apple, Holy Crap/Crap (I say that a lot, so he picked it up), Uh-oh, Crabby (My hermit crabs), Bug." and some others that I can't think of at the moment.

I have two hermit crabs, one named Twister which is owned by my brother, but he really doesn't take care of it so I consider it mine. The other is nameless, but it has a "Finding Nemo" themed shell that has Dorey on it, so I might name it Dorey.
