I am looking for someone to love Nikki as much as I do. This individual would be semi retired, so they have lots of time to spend with Nikki. Preferrably somebody who had just 1 or 2 other bird. Nikki is use to being out many of the day. , if this is not possible do not react to this ad.. If you have never ever had a bird, this is not the bird for you. Nikki does pluck his feathers, has since he was 6 months old. This implies continuous cleaning up of feathers and obviously poop. The good side of all this is that he is the most even tempered gray you will ever discover. He has never ever bit me or my other half and drawn blood. He is really clever, knows lots of techniques and yes he talks, laughs and whistles. My cost is firm. I WILL NOT SHIP.
