![]() He was outside in a rusty cage because he was too dangerous to have near children. There were no perches in his cage because he would always fall off. They had him on a diet of sunflower seeds and peanuts because “that’s what he asked for”. He was “vicious” and “bloodthirsty” according to the girl’s mother. This was made worse because he wasn’t the cute cuddly parrot they’d seen with their grandfather. These people loved animals, but were more inclined to play with a dog than a parrot. In theory, this should have been fine as he went to an animal friendly family. The granddaughter of the grumpy old man inherited him. There’s the polite “Wanna peanut?” as if he’s offering you one, although I can’t say he’s happy to share treats! Then there’s the ruder demands of which the politest version is: “Give me a damn peanut NOW!!!!!!!!!!” He talks about peanuts so much that he actually answers to the nickname “Peanuts”. There is no doubt that his diet was fairly rich in peanuts and sunflower seeds. I got quite a shock the day he tried to intercept my cup of coffee yelling: “I just want my coffee thanks!!!” (Also said in a croaky old man’s voice). ![]() It’s safe to say he ate breakfast with this man almost everyday and that he was quite accustomed to getting his share.
