When
he was a baby, his mother pushed too much of the nesting material from
the nestbox. As a result, Frodo's feet did not develop properly. Parrots
stand with 2 toes on each foot forward and 2 toes behind the perch. Frodo
can't perch this way so we've adapted his cage with cotton ropes which make
it life easier for him.
He's such a clown and has had the opportunity to be a star. Frodo and I
were on the Canadian show called "Life with Pets" where he was able to show
everyone why Quakers are so great. They are a lot of parrot in a little
package.
Some people think that their green and grey colouring is dull but under the
lights you can see almost fluorescent colours in his feathers. He
enthusiastically says "Hi!" or when scared he'll say "S'okay" just to
reassure you that everything is fine. As you will see in Frodo's picture
even he will enthusiastically try to surf the net!
