Hi! My name is Indie

I am an African Grey from Baldwin, WI.

I love apples, wiggly pastas, cherry tomatoes, little raisin boxes, peanuts, fresh carrots, pea pods, and whatever yogurt Mom's eating is the best thing ever.

On Daddy! I love my Daddy so much because he always has cool things in his pockets and he lets me lick the outside of his cold beer bottle. His eyeglasses are fun to play with, too, and he thinks everything I do is amazing and funny. I also like to hide in the big schefflera.

I hate that I don't get to go outside much anymore since we moved to the country. Too many hawks and falcons waiting to eat me! I don't get to spend as much time in the screen tent as I'd like, but Mom keeps promising we'll build a screen porch that's fit for a queen like me that will keep me safe and happy.

I like my big playgyms and the fact that I get to be outside my wee hoose all day since Mommy stays home with us. I want to make friends with Holly but she's kind of a bully so I usually keep my distance. Cosmo is interesting, but bitey. Since I lost one toe as a bappy (before Mom knew me), I stay away from Cosmo to make sure I keep my other seven toes in tact!

I really worried my mom when I shredded almost all my feathers. You should have seen her almost faint when she came home on Thanksgiving to find I'd removed every last one of my beautiful red tail feathers. I've kept her busy trying to figure me out. She took me to the vet (I loved the car rides but the shots were a bummer) to make sure I was okay. Once she started to figure out I'm just very sensitive and expressing myself, she began to relax a bit. Now I have a few red feathers and I'm beginning to grow in my chest feathers again. I think I did Mom a favor by teaching her to relax a little. She doesn't freak out anymore when I bite my toenails or chomp off a little feather here and there. Come to think of it, shredding isn't as much fun as it used to be so I do it much less now..
