crest stroked which makes me go all funny. Generally I keep really fit but I do need to have my claws trimmed fairly regularly, at first I found this a little worrying as my blood runs some way into my claws and if too much is cut off I will bleed. Fortunately some chap called Les comes to do this work and he seems to know what he is doing, I did try to bite him but somehow he seems to avoid letting me get hold of his fingers which is fortunate for him because I am sure I could easily take one of with a swift munch, I am 50 cms long and weigh ‘quite a lot’. Well I hope all you Parrot Society members have enjoyed my ramblings as much as I have telling you about myself.
