    Awww Marty, he sounds like my own 'tiel: Very outgoing, will want to say hi or visit everyone they come into contact with.

    I hope your African Grey will get better soon. I realise I never learned their name!

      My African Grey’s name is Theodore; Theo for short. He’s a very “standard” parrot. Theo is curious and destructive, but afraid of new things and afraid of new people. I’m sure that he’ll get better with time. He just needs to see that we won’t abandon him again. I know that none of what happened was my fault, but I still feel guilty about it, especially when I get frustrated with him. I have to keep reminding myself that we’re both trying to recover.
