Purple Grey (Parrot, That Is)

Went walking on the beach and had to stop to chat to this woman who took not only her dog out for a walk but her African Grey Parrot, in this super-cool little backpack.


The handsome devil was as enthralled with me as I was with him,
and bent down to get a better look at me and my camera as I snapped away.



I know Greys are a handful, having essentially the mentality of a 4-year-old 
 who will outlive you. That's a big commitment, of both your time and patience. 
But how cool would it be to enrich the little guy by taking it out to feel the wind 
and see and hear the surf?
