We
got Edgar in October 2000 in North Carolina. We were immediately
drawn to the beautiful, unique budgie but it took some convincing to get
my husband to buy into the idea of a bird. But, when he found out they
could be taught to talk he thought it was a great idea. Edgar is a
beautiful lutino parakeet, all yellow with ruby red eyes. We named him
Edgar because we thought it would be fun to teach him to say
"Nevermore".
Edgar is a very special bird indeed, although he doesn't talk the way we
do, he definitely has his own language. We can hear him squawking from
the other room when he wants us to play. His cage is kept open at all
times so he can come and visit us. He comes when he is called and loves
to play jokes on us by dropping his favorite toy or treat bag from his
cage, so we can pick it up. He loves to eat anything we do, he has to
try everything, Mountain Dew and Pepsi cans are his favorite to lick, as
well as leafy greens to eat. He also enjoys typing, singing Christmas
Carols, and playing his bells along with songs on the radio. He loves
bells more than anything. He will sit with us while we are writing or
share dinner with us, he especially loves nibbling the pages of our
favorite books. Some of his favorite pastimes are to preen the hedgehog
and the kitten, as well as give kisses to his favorite people.
Edgar is one of the most unique birds I have ever seen, he loves the
company of people and seems to thrive on it. He has become a real
"people" bird. Edgar is a great addition to our family and has
a big personality for being such a small guy.
