Sweet Christy, I'm so sorry that you had such a rough start to your life. It's unspeakable what some "people" are capable of doing to those like you who depend on their kindness. Your amazing dad is a hero for taking you away from that horrible situation, and loving you so unconditionally even when you couldn't trust anyone yet. I wish every parrot could have an understanding human companion like that.

Thanks goodness you're finally living the good life you deserve. My African Grey parrot Roger thinks you're a beauty, and sends you a big wolf-whistle.
